Background
The Toyota 200 marked the Xfinity Series' return to racing following a 10-week break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which began with the postponement of the Atlanta race weekend on March 13 and continued through mid-May.[9][10]
On April 30, NASCAR announced their return to racing with two Cup Series races and an Xfinity Series race at Darlington, with Cup races held Sunday, May 17 and Wednesday, May 20 and the Xfinity Series race held Tuesday, May 19 (later postponed to May 21 due to weather). Due to the pandemic, the race was held without fans in attendance.[11][12]
This was the first Xfinity Series race held at Darlington in the spring since 2014, and the first Darlington race branded the Toyota 200 since 2004.[13]

The starting order was determined by a random draw, with drivers grouped into pots of positions based on segments of the owners' points standings going into the race. Additionally, NASCAR announced they were expanding the field of Xfinity Series entries from 36 to 40 due to the lack of qualifying.[14][15]
