For Dale Earnhardt Jr., this is nothing new. The NASCAR Hall of Famer competed in a Late Model race at North Wilkesboro Speedway last year, when the CARS Tour visited the revived venue for the first time.
But for Chase Elliott, Kevin Harvick and many more NASCAR stars, this week's Late Model races at North Wilkesboro Speedway as part of NASCAR All-Star Week are brand-new opportunities to compete on the historic, 0.625-mile oval.
Both the ASA STARS National Tour race (ECMD 150; Wednesday, 9:45 p.m. ET on FloRacing) and the CARS Tour races (Crossroads Harley-Davidson 75 and Window World 125; 5:45 p.m. ET on FloRacing) will feature big NASCAR names on the entry lists.

How to watch Dale Earnhardt Jr. race at North Wilkesboro in 2023
As was the case last year, when he finished third in the main event, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is entered in the Late Model Stock portion of Wednesday night's CARS Tour show at North Wilkesboro.
The Late Model Stock feature is the second of two CARS Tour races Wednesday. Both will be shown live on FloRacing. Earnhardt's race is expected to begin at approximately 7:30 p.m. ET.
Earnhardt recently recalled how last year's Late Model Stock race at North Wilkesboro felt, and he expects a similar scene in 2023.
“Everybody was just so happy to be there, and as soon as the cars started rolling, everybody was like, you know, sort of this surreal moment where you’re thinking, ‘Man, I can’t believe that this is happening,’” Earnhardt said. "And I was thinking that in the car and after the race, and I’m like, ‘I just can’t believe that we actually raced here, and that we had such a great turnout, and we had such great energy.’ And everybody, even all the drivers, competitors are just so happy to be part of it.
“And I think that it’s just going to multiply when we go there for the All-Star Week, and when we’re all standing there, all of us here, when we’re standing there, for that race to begin, that moment is going to happen for all of us. We’re going to be like, ‘I never thought this would happen. I can’t believe this is actually about to happen.'"
