What time does the NASCAR All-Star Race start? TV schedule, channel, live stream for North Wilkesboro

The NASCAR All-Star Race is revving up for a night to remember deep in the heart of North Carolina.

North Wilkesboro Speedway — a crown jewel of NASCAR’s early days — is back from the ashes and burning brighter than ever.

Once left to gather dust for over 25 years, this beloved 0.625-mile short track has traded rust for roar, now offering up a million-dollar prize under the lights. For race fans, making the trip to this legendary oval has become a bucket-list pilgrimage.

Now in its third straight year as the host of the Cup Series exhibition event, North Wilkesboro is once again the beating heart of NASCAR tradition.

It’s a place steeped in grit and glory, giving today’s stars the chance to chase history and etch their names alongside the greats. Just ask Kyle Larson and Joey Logano — the past two victors who’ve added their chapters to this reborn racetrack’s story.

Below is all you need to know ahead of the NASCAR All-Star Race, including TV and streaming options.
