One day after the National Basketball Association suspended the current season to prevent spreading coronavirus, the National Hockey League has halted its season, Major League Baseball suspended spring training and pushed back the start of its regular season, and the NCAA canceled its winter and spring championships, which includes March Madness. One day after that sports bloodbath, Augusta National Golf Club postponed The Masters, which is the most prestigious PGA Tour tournament of the season, while NASCAR postponed its next two races.
“NASCAR has decided to postpone the race events at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend and Homestead-Miami Speedway next weekend,” the racing outfit said on Friday.
