NASCAR will make a formal announcement during a news conference Monday night at 7:15 p.m.

(WFXR) — The NASCAR All-Star Race for 2020 has moved to the Bristol Motor Speedway from its previous location of Charlotte Motor Speedway due to the increase in COVID-19 cases in North Carolina.

According to motorsport.com, multiple sources have confirmed the changes, and an official announcement should come out later today. The site also says a limited number of fans are expected to attend.

The race will still broadcast at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday, July 15 on Fox Sports 1. It will be the final broadcast of Fox’s NASCAR season.
