It's officially time for NASCAR's annual All-Star weekend. The best drivers in the sport will be competing for honors and a cash prize at Dover Motor Speedway in just a couple days.
After three consecutive years at the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway, All-Star weekend is relocating to the "Monster Mile" in Delaware. This year will mark the venue's first time ever hosting All-Star festivities.
Last week's Cup Series race at Watkins Glen International saw Shane Van Gisbergen take the checkered flag, defending his strong reputation on road courses. Christopher Bell won the All-Star race last year at North Wilkesboro, but Denny Hamlin is the most recent champion at Dover.
Beyond just the Cup Series, the Craftsman Truck Series will also be in action Friday with the EcoSave 200, and the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Saturday with the BetRivers 200.
Don't miss out on the action.
Here's everything you need to know about 2026 NASCAR All-Star week, including TV channel and streaming options for each race.
