2024 NASCAR All Star-Race schedule, entry list, and how to watch

Brad Keselowski snapped a 110-race winless streak at Darlington, prevailing in a thrilling late-race duel between himself, Chris Buescher and Tyler Reddick. The other two finished deep in the field after some side-to-side contact resulted in flat tires for both drivers.

Despite failing to finish the race, Kyle Larson remains atop the championship standings as he heads to IMS to prepare for the 108th running of the Indianapolis 500. Kevin Harvick will practice and qualify his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet at North Wilkesboro while he is in Indy. Larson is also the defending winner of the All-Star Race, having swept the weekend there in 2023 by also winning the Truck race.

This week in the news, Australian Supercars stars Cam Waters and Will Brown confirmed that they will be making their NASCAR Cup Series debut at Sonoma Raceway. Waters will drive for RFK Racing while Brown will compete with Richard Childress Racing. 

It was also announced that Atlanta Motor Speedway's second date will return to the summer in 2025, opening TNT's coverage. Amazon Prime's first race will be the 2025 Coke 600. Additionally, NASCAR announced a bracket-style tournament for next season with the winner receiving $1 million. Jimmie Johnson has joined NBC's broadcast for several NASCAR Cup races later this year, as well as the Indy 500.
