How well did fans follow safety protocols at NASCAR All-Star race?Marty Smith reports that NASCAR fans did a fairly good job following coronavirus safety protocols outside the All-Star race venue. Smith goes on to describe the "beautiful" energy at the event.

BRISTOL, Tenn. -- Clint Bowyer hopped off his pit stand at Bristol Motor Speedway to learn that he'd won the fan vote to advance to NASCAR's All-Star race -- an announcement met by a roar from the grandstands.

It wasn't the raucous ovation typically heard in Thunder Valley, but after four months of near silence, it was better than nothing.

Up to 30,000 fans were allowed to attend Wednesday night's race, marking NASCAR's largest event with spectators since the coronavirus pandemic shut down sports in March. Attendance figures were not released, but it appeared that at least 20,000 spectators were socially distanced throughout the grandstands, probably making this the largest sporting event in the United States since the winter.

"It damn sure feels good to have the fans back at the track," Bowyer said.<<
