On 5 December 2019, NASCAR announced the 2020 schedule. It included an inaugural race at Ohsweken Speedway, which would have become the first dirt track race in series history. [2] The COVID-19 pandemic caused the series to make considerable schedule and format changes. The season was ultimately contested over three weekends at three different tracks, with each track holding 125 lap doubleheader races. [3]
