Summary
North Wilkesboro opens a two-race zMAX CARS Tour program this week, with Pro Late Models running 75 laps Friday before the 100-lap Late Model Stock feature.
Chase Elliott is the headline entrant, returning to CARS Tour competition for the first time since 2015 while attempting double duty Friday as part of a four-series North Wilkesboro weekend.
Brenden Queen and Landon S. Huffman enter the Late Model Stock race with strong local storylines—Queen chasing a second North Wilkesboro win, Huffman seeking redemption after losing last October’s race on the final lap.
The Pro Late Model field also features brothers Luke and Jack Baldwin racing together in the series for the first time, adding to a packed schedule that includes Thursday practice and qualifying.
The doubleheader serves as a lead-in to Sunday’s Window World 450, the first points-paying NASCAR Cup Series race at North Wilkesboro in 30 years after the track’s revival began in 2022.
