DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – NASCAR officials have confirmed that there will be no practice or qualifying for teams competing in all three national divisions for the remainder of the season.

The news was confirmed in a statement from NASCAR Senior Vice President, Competition Scott Miller late Tuesday afternoon. He also confirmed NASCAR will be adjusting the starting lineup draw procedure for the NASCAR playoffs, though no details have been announced.

“Following discussions with our race teams and the broader industry, NASCAR will continue to conduct its race weekends without practice and qualifying for the remainder of the 2020 season in all three national series,” Miller said in his statement. “The current format has worked well in addressing several challenges during our return to racing. Most importantly, we have seen competitive racing week-to-week. NASCAR will adjust the starting lineup draw procedure for the Playoff races, and will announce the new process at a later date.”

Practice and qualifying have rarely taken place since NASCAR returned to action amid the COVID-19 pandemic in May. Only one qualifying session has been held since then, which took place prior to the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Practice has also taken place once. NASCAR Xfinity Series teams got the chance to familiarize themselves with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course prior to the inaugural race on the circuit on July 4, which was won by Chase Briscoe.
