North Wilkesboro Speedway may no longer host the NASCAR All-Star Race after this season. A new report claims that the race could move to Dover Motor Speedway in 2026, with its points dating to Wilkesboro.
Though an official change of venue has yet to be announced, per the initial report from Jordan Bianchi of The Athletic, “such a move is under serious consideration.” Furthermore, should this happen, the sport would likely move the vacant points race to fellow Speedway Motorsports owned facility North Wilkesboro.
Interestingly enough, Bianchi also claims in his report that the sport would like to release the schedule by next week, putting this new plan in a short window. In fact, the report goes as far as to call this a “last-minute change in direction,” as fans expected Wilkesboro to host the event in 2026.
This move would raise a few questions about fine details, as the swap could also have implications for the lower National Series schedule. The All-Star weekend typically includes a Truck Series race, while Dover has recently been an Xfinity and Cup Series race weekend.
Most importantly, there is no telling how the fanbase would react to such a change, though some have asked for Wilkesboro to get a race. Likewise, this adds yet another points race to the already crowded Virginia and Carolina markets.
This would be the first NASCAR Cup Series points race at Wilkesboro since 1996. After that race, the .625-mile oval sat mostly abandoned until a grassroots campaign led to its revival as the host of the All-Star race. Speedway Motorsports moved the event to the track from Texas Motor Speedway in 2023.
