It’s All-Star Race time, with the NASCAR Cup Series traveling to the “Monster Mile” to compete for $1 million at Dover Motor Speedway on Sunday (1 p.m. ET, FS1, HBO Max, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
The event will mark the first time the 1-mile Delaware venue has hosted All-Star festivities, with North Wilkesboro Speedway holding the honors from 2023-25. Christopher Bell is the defending All-Star Race winner, while Denny Hamlin is the most recent victor at Dover, doing so in double overtime during the points-paying contest there in July 2025.
Shane van Gisbergen, who won the most recent Cup contest at Watkins Glen International, will pilot the No. 97 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet and look to continue sharpening his oval-racing craft after a 30th-place finish here in 2025.
