Driver Intros will not be held amongst the crowd, per usual; instead, drivers will be introduced from their cars on the grid.
Trailers will be spread out across the infield to maintain proper social distancing.
Spotters will be required to wear masks during the race.
Masks will be strongly recommended for those who are in the infield and required for all Victory Lane celebrations.
Hickory Motor Speedway will be limited to 50% capacity for this event.
