The 2020 My Bariatric Solutions 300 was a NASCAR Xfinity Series race held on July 18, 2020 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. Contested over 201 laps – extended from 200 due to an overtime finish – on the 1.5-mile (2.4 km) intermediate quad-oval, it was the 16th race of the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series season. Austin Cindric won his third consecutive race after Kyle Busch's car failed post-race inspection.[8]

The race was originally scheduled to be held on March 28, 2020, but was postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[9]

Report

Background

[edit]
Texas Motor Speedway, the track where the race was held.

Texas Motor Speedway is a speedway located in the northernmost portion of the U.S. city of Fort Worth, Texas – the portion located in Denton County, Texas. The track measures 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around and is banked 24 degrees in the turns, and is of the oval design, where the front straightaway juts outward slightly. The track layout is similar to Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway (formerly Lowe's Motor Speedway). The track is owned by Speedway Motorsports, Inc., the same company that owns Atlanta and Charlotte Motor Speedways, as well as the short-track Bristol Motor Speedway.

Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the race was held without spectators in the grandstands. However, spectators with backstretch camping were allowed to attend.[10]
