The Super Bowl is history. Since Tom Brady led the winning team, ancient history? 
Sunday is the 63rd running of The Great American Race and the 9th time to run on Valentine's Day. When the pandemic struck last year, Nascar racing was put on hold following the 4th race week in March. When racing returned in May, two of the multitude of changes were the elimination of practice and qualifying, along with mid-week races and back to back races at the same track. This year things are a little more normal. Fan attendance is still restricted, most races will have no practice and most will have no qualifying.
Nascar Fantasy Live isn't open to set up rosters yet, but Nascar says it is coming soon; I guess tomorrow it will open up for play. That matches last year when FL opened for the next race - The Tuesday before the next race weekend, except for the double weekend like Pocono. All the teams from last year have been loaded, so all we have to do is login and make our picks - Even @FlaCowboy, our winner from last year is all setup and ready to start picking.

Early season races and possibly later season races, will have no or limited practice. Daytona is the exception - All three series will practice and qualify. In fact, Daytona is still the Daytona of old with the Clash and Duel races. What's different is the compression of SpeedWeeks to less than a week. Tomorrow, Tuesday, we'll have the Busch Clash, Wednesday is Cup practice and qualifying for the front row. On Thursday the rest of the Cup field is set in the two Duel races, as usual.
What has changed with Fantasy Live with practices and qualifying still being controlled by the pandemic. Driver picks are the same - 5 drivers on your roster with one garage driver you can switch in and out until the end of the 2nd heat. Your drivers can be used a maximum of 10 times over the 26 race regular season. Bonus point awards are different - No more picking stage winners.
