NASCAR Saturday schedule at North Wilkesboro Speedway

The Truck and Cup series will chase at North Wilkesboro Speedway on Saturday, as the 0.625 mile oval was set for Sunday’s All-Star race.

The trucks occupy a approximately six-hour window that starts with exercise at 9:35 p.m. and immediately followed by qualifying on the track in Northern Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

A 250 round truck race starts at 13:30 with Corey Heim in the field as the defensive winner.

The Cup Series will hold the program with two 75-round heat races to set up the starting line-up for Sunday’s All-Star race (apart from the pole sitting, which was determined in Friday’s qualifying).
