How to watch NASCAR at North Wilkesboro: Weekend schedule, start time, TV

NASCAR is holding a points-paying Cup race North Wilkesboro for the first time in 30 years, and the track spent the last three years as the host for the All-Star Race.

Ryan Blaney just earned a dramatic win at EchoPark Speedway (Atlanta), while Christopher Bell won the All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro last year.

At Atlanta, Tyler Reddick closed back in to within 24pts of Denny Hamlin in the fight for the championship lead. Erik Jones remains on the Chase bubble in 16th, eight points clear of Joey Logano.

North Wilkesboro is also the semi-finals for the In-Season Challenge, with four drivers still in the hunt for the $1 million prize. Underdog Todd Gilliland will face Chase Elliott, while Bell and Blaney will face off against one another. The final two drivers will go head-to-head for the prize money in the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Drivers will have softer bumpers this weekend as well as teams were instructed to remove the bumper form. This will be the first Cup race featuring the change.

In this story, you can find all the information you need to watch this weekend's action at Nashville, from the weekend schedule to where to watch, and even the full entry list.
