The May race week at North Wilkesboro Speedway will look a little different, with the stars of the NASCAR Cup Series sharing the Friday of All-Star weekend with potential stars of the future on the track and on television.
The CARS Tour late model stock race, typically scheduled for earlier in the week, will run on Friday night following Cup practice and the pit crew challenge. The Cup lead-in won’t just come at the track but also on television, as the grassroots race will air on FS1 with CARS Tour co-owners Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the booth.
“I’m very proud about how much the series has grown, and this is an incredible opportunity for our drivers and teams to showcase themselves,” Earnhardt Jr. said.
“Kevin and I are going to have a lot of fun calling that race from the booth on Friday.”

In the previous two years at the historic 0.625-mile asphalt oval, the CARS Tour — a series that features both aspiring NASCAR drivers and veteran racers who make careers competing on short tracks — would be on-track Tuesday and Wednesday at North Wilkesboro with an off-day Thursday before the NASCAR weekend.
Now, the schedule has both of the CARS Tour series practicing Thursday with the pro late model race (75 laps) that night. Then, the late model stock race (100 laps) will be Friday night after Cup activity. Both races will air on FloSports, with the late model stock race on both FloSports and FS1.
The truck teams will have their one-day show on Saturday, along with the Cup heat races. The NASCAR modified tour has been added to the Sunday schedule to run during the day prior to the All-Star event on Sunday night.
The All-Star format, which isn’t expected to undergo significant changes, has not been announced.
Anyone who has paid for a five-day ticket for North Wilkesboro or is impacted by the change can email tickets@northwilkesborospeedway.com with questions.

Slovácko se chystá na svátek. Z hráčů jde cítit frustrace, ale na Spartu se nám daří, zaznívá
„Vnímáme, že to teď není ideální a na hráčích jde cítit frustrace, což je pochopitelné, když se nedaří. V týdnu jsme vložili i trénink zábavnou formou, abychom změnili prostředí, tak jsme trénovali v Kunovickém lese. Situaci každý den řešíme,“ uvedl pro klubovou televizi asistent trenéra Slovácka Darko Šuškavčevič.Jenže teď celek z Uherského Hradiště stane proti soupeři v laufu. Z jedenácti zápasů v této sezoně ztratila Sparta z třiatřiceti možných bodů jen sedm a v tabulce soutěže je druhá o skóre za Slavií, která má ale po sobotní remíze 0:0 se Zlínem o utkání navrch. Na Slovácku doufají, že dokážou navázat na některé nedávné zápasy, kdy dokázali velkého favorita zaskočit a obrat ho o body. To se stalo naposledy loni v srpnu, kdy Slovácko remizovalo 2:2 na Letné.Foto: Sport.czSparta se Slováckem jen remizovala„Vnímáme, že se nám na Spartu daří. Jako hráč si vybavím, když jsme ji před dvaceti lety porazili 2:0. Každý zápas je ale jiný. Musíme to být […]
