NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — The NASCAR All-Star Race is in full swing at North Wilkesboro Speedway once again this year.
Below, you’ll find a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know if you plan on attending any of the remaining All-Star events.
***
Ticket package options
You can still purchase individual tickets for Sunday’s events on the racetrack’s website via Ticketmaster.
Planning your trip
Officials anticipate a large turnout for this year’s All-Star festivities. Follow these steps to ensure that your trip is as smooth as possible.
After heavy rains drowned out Saturday’s events, this is the new and updated schedule of events and things you need to know for NASCAR All-Star Sunday.
Updated parking plan
North Carolina State Highway Patrol, the North Carolina Department of Transportation and speedway officials recommended that anyone planning to attend any of the All-Star race events should purchase parking in advance of their commute.
If you have not yet purchased a pass, they are no longer available to be purchased online.
Due to the heavy rainfall, over 40% of the parking spaces at the track were rendered unusable and the racing schedule was altered to give extra drying time.
Also, all people with Lot 1 parking passes should go directly to Wilkes County Community College at 1306 South Collegiate Drive in Wilkesboro to be shuttled to and from the speedway free of charge.
Expect delays and changes
