By | May 17, 2023

NASCAR makes its return to North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina with the All-Star Race this weekend, as the famed course comes out on the other side of its renovations.

The race also marks a return of the all-star weekend to North Carolina, which it had left after 32 years in Concord. The 2020 edition was run in Bristol, Tennessee, whereas 2021 and 2022 took place in Fort Worth, Texas.

The weekend will be packed with a myriad of activities, including qualifying, heats, the open, and the main event. There’s also the pit crew challenge, in which teams can showcase their speed when the car is in park.
