The CARS Tour returns to North Wilkesboro Speedway as does NASCAR as the legendary track hosts All-Star week.

Now with a new pavement, North Wilkesboro continues its surprising rebound after being vacant for years before Dale Earnhardt Jr. helped revive the track several years ago. 

NASCAR returned to North Wilkesboro in 2023 but with the older pavement, the track was not fully updated. That won't be an issues in 2024 as drivers expect a faster race this year. 

Brenden Queen recently told FloRacing:

“The track looks great, first off, the pavement looks great,” said Queen. “It’s smooth. You still have those little bit of bump characteristics, the uphill down the back and the downhill down the front, you can still kind of notice all that. It’s still Wilkesboro."

The week is packed with racing action. Here's a look at the schedule.
