How and Where to Watch the NASCAR All-Star Race at Dover Motor Speedway

The NASCAR All-Star Race has a new home this year, and it’s one of the sport’s most demanding venues. Dover Motor Speedway is hosting the All-Star Race for the first time, marking the first time the event has landed in the Northeast. When the Cup Series takes the green flag on May 17, it will be the first time in the track’s history, stretching back to 1969 across 107 races, that Dover hosts a race without points on the line.

A million dollars in prize money on a concrete mile with no championship consequence. That’s the reward for this weekend’s racing. The format splits the action across 350 laps and three segments, with the final 200-lap run narrowed down to just 26 drivers – the rest of the field is eliminated.

Nineteen drivers are locked in for the finale automatically, with six additional spots determined by the first two 75-lap segments, plus the fan vote winner. With no points implications attached to the outcome, expect aggressive strategy, bold restarts, and drivers willing to take risks they’d never consider on a normal Sunday. Track crews have also applied resin to the corners of the Monster Mile this week to open up multiple lanes around the one-mile oval , so the racing surface itself should provide more than one line through the corners.

How to Watch Every Race This Weekend The All-Star Race goes green at 1 p. m. ET on Sunday, May 17, broadcasting live on FS1, PRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
