RALEIGH. N.C. — The NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Race will remain at North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2024 after this year's event — the first race for NASCAR there in 27 years — attracted a capacity crowd thrilled to return to stock car roots.
NASCAR President Steve Phelps said the All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro and the circuit's first street race, held in Chicago, were the signature events of 2023 during NASCAR's 75th anniversary season. NASCAR and Speedway Motorsports, which owns both the Charlotte and North Wilkesboro speedways, also said Thursday that North Wilkesboro will be repaved for the first time since 1981 in time for next year's race., which was held before 35,000 fans on the patched-up asphalt track, on the way to the $1 million prize in the winner-take-all event.
Gov. Roy Cooper also has been a big supporter of returning NASCAR to North Wilkesboro and attended this year's race.
