After outlasting weather and late-night fireworks at EchoPark Speedway, the NASCAR Cup Series next contests North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sunday (7 p.m. ET, TNT Sports, truTV, HBO Max, PRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
The trip to the 0.625-mile North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, track will mark the 21st points-paying event of the 2026 Cup campaign and act as the first points contest at the facility since 1996. More recently, the NASCAR All-Star Race was held at the track from 2023-25.
Round 4 of the NASCAR In-Season Challenge will occur at the track. (No. 3 seed) Ryan Blaney — who triumphed at EchoPark — will battle (No. 10 seed) Christopher Bell, while (No. 4 seed) Chase Elliott will challenge (No. 25 seed) Todd Gilliland on the opposite side of the bracket.
Thirty-seven cars are entered into this weekend’s event.
