All-Star Race Returns To North Wilkesboro In 2025

May 17, 2024

NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. — The NASCAR All-Star Race will return to North Wilkesboro Speedway for a third consecutive year in 2025.

The announcement was made Friday morning that the 41st running of the prestigious event for the NASCAR Cup Series will be run on May 18, 2025 at the five-eighths-mile short track, which returned to action to host the event in 2023.

North Wilkesboro is playing host to this weekend’s 40th running of the All-Star Race. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will also return to All-Star Race weekend in 2025.

Friday’s announcement comes just days before the All-Star Race’s highly anticipated second running at North Wilkesboro. 

Kyle Larson swept the weekend last year – scoring victories in the Wright Brand 250 as well as the NASCAR All-Star Race – but the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion, who is also locked into the 2025 event, will face a tall task in replicating his dominance on Sunday. 

Additional 2025 race-weekend details, such as concerts, format and starting times for the Wright Brand 250, All-Star Open and All-Star Race, will be announced at a later date.
