Instead, we’re taking a visual approach to best depict the wild highs and lows of the 2020 NASCAR season — one that began with a terrifying scare at the Daytona 500 and amazingly finished with a full 36-race lineup completed and a new champion crowned. So here are 20 powerful, awesome and touching photos that we feel encapsulate the year and its most defining moments.
