Around the World of Motorsports: July 21

- LA Honda World Racing announced Tuesday that Taylor Hagler has been cleared to return to the track. Hagler tested positive for COVID-19, forcing her to miss last Friday's Advent Health 120 at Sebring International
Raceway. Since then, Hagler has tested negative three times and will be in attendance at the HPD GT3 Driver Academy this weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course before returning to the No. 77 Honda Civic Type-R at Road America.

- Andy Lally posted this morning on Twitter that he's apparently got news to share later today. Since NASCAR announced that they will hold a quadruple-header
weekend at Daytona in August, he's been trying to put together a deal to run in the Xfinity race. Perhaps he's completed a deal. We'll have to see.
- Cup teams are leaving their shops today for the 15-hour drive to Kansas from North Carolina. If anything of note breaks, we'll have it for you at Frontstretch.
