FILE - In this Feb. 27, 2019, file photo, Eddie Gossage, Texas Motor Speedway president, speaks during the track's media day in Fort Worth, Texas. The massive grandstands at Texas Motor Speedway stretch about 2/3 of a mile long, and were empty for the last race there. There could still be some feeling of emptiness Sunday, July 19, 2020, preferable for social distancing, even when the NASCAR Cup Series race becomes the first major sporting event in Texas in more than four months to allow spectators. It will be one of the largest gatherings of any kind in the state since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. “It can absorb a lot of people and you never cross paths with another soul,” track president Eddie Gossage said of the facility just more than 20 miles north of downtown Fort Worth.
