2020 Trans-Am Series

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.[5] On March 17, 2020, the Road Atlanta round was forced to be postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.[6] 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.[7] 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.[8]

Drivers may choose to declare for Northern or Southern Cup points, but these drivers may not run the full national season. Each Cup consists of the points from only some of the rounds.

Awards are also given to the highest ranked Master and Rookie drivers in each class. The Master classification is given to drivers over 60 years old while the Rookie classification is for drivers competing in their first full year. Some drivers may be eligible for both.
