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's top series there in 27 years -- attracted a capacity crowd thrilled to return to stock car roots.
State legislators joined NASCAR and track executives on Thursday at the North Carolina Legislative Building for the announcement, which keeps the .625-mile asphalt oval, located almost 160 miles west of Raleigh, on the Cup Series schedule for another year.
"Neither of those events disappointed," Phelps said. "We are so thrilled to be coming back with the All-Star Race." 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.
The 2024 All-Star Race satisfies that requirement, according to state Rep. Jason Saine, a top budget-writer. Phelps said that "feeling the love from the state and its politicians is really important, and it influences decisions that we make."
