Steve O'Donnell, Nascar's executive vice president, said: "We didn't have to tell anyone or remind anyone to wear a mask".
Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race called "The Real Heroes 400" was dedicated to health care workers and was the first race since the season was suspended on March 13.
Darlington Raceway hosted the first NASCAR race in 71 days.
After the race, NASCAR officials run cars through an inspection process. Instead, they were forced to call the action from a studio in Charlotte, N.C. Gray smoke billowed during a caution, which isn't that odd a sight at a NASCAR race. "But a familiar sound".
Kevin Harvick - who won the 400-mile, 292-lap race - also noted the surreal setting. It was a much different picture than the typical race.
"What I would do to get that corner back to do it over again", Johnson said in the pits following in incident.

And even without fans allowed on the property, a small grass fire still broke out behind a section of the track.
USA stock auto racing series Nascar made a successful return to live racing at an empty Darlington Raceway in SC over the weekend following a 10-week hiatus. NASCAR has declined to do COVID-19 testing to ensure those tests go to those in need, but competitors are supposed to log who they come into contact with, not return to the race shop after being at the track and continue to follow CDC guidelines on social distancing.
The Darlington race featured no practice or qualifying. Pole position for the race was determined based on a random draw, not the traditional method of time trials.
Tyler Reddick, a rookie with Richard Childress Racing, was seventh at "The Track Too Tough To Tame".
