Race Schedule and Results
National Championship
A 12 round preliminary schedule was released on October 16, 2019 ahead of the final round of the season. Brainerd Raceway returned to the schedule and Daytona International Speedway was dropped due to scheduling conflicts.[10] On March 17, 2020, the Road Atlanta round was forced to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] This was the start of a series of postponements and cancellations that lead to a revised schedule being announced on April 7, 2020. In this schedule, the Detroit round was dropped reducing the series to an 11 round championship.[12] Unfortunately the planned restart of the series at Indianapolis Motor Speedway was also postponed with a new date for the track still to be determined and the series resuming at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course instead.[13] The rounds at Watkins Glen and Lime Rock Park were the final casualties of the outbreak with late cancellations leading to double headers at Virginia International Raceway and Road Atlanta.[14]

West Coast Championship
A six round provisional schedule was released on October 31, 2019 ahead of the final round of the 2019 Trans-Am Championship.[15] Sonoma Raceway gained a second date with the first kicking off the series and the second being moved to August. This was done at the expensive of the Auto Club Speedway roval which lost its place on the calendar. The final round at Circuit of the Americas was also moved to November. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the schedule was forced to change. Under the new calendar, the series started at Thunderhill Raceway Park and concluded with a double-header at Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca.[12]
