ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT

On May 17, 2025, there's a Craftsman Truck Series Race. On May 18, 2025, in addition to the NASCAR All-Star Race, there's a Whelen Modified race. Throughout the weekend, there are also races featuring zMax cars.

LOCATION

The NASCAR All-Star Race happens at the North Wilkesboro Speedway, the address of which is 381 Speedway Lane, North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, 28659. Route 421 is the only road that leads to the speedway, so it'll likely be packed during the weekend. Always leave ample time to get where you need to go.

LINEUP

The lineup of specific races between May 16, 2025, and May 18, 2025 will be posted on the website, so keep an eye on it to get the latest information.

RVING AT THE EVENT

You can camp in your RV at the event. There are four designated RV camping lots: Lot A, Lot B, Lot C, and Trackside Camping. You have to check in on May 12 and check out on May 19, so you'll get a discounted weekly rate rather than seven daily rates. There are both dry campsites and campsites with full hookups available. Communal potable water, showers, and restrooms are available for an extra fee.

The closest RV campground with a confirmed dump station is Raccoon Holler Campground, which is 22 miles from Wilkesboro. The campground opens at the end of April, so both the dump station and the RV campsites are available. The campground provides hot showers, full restrooms, laundry facilities, and a dog run, among other amenities.

If you don't own an RV, then you can find an RV rental on RVshare. When the time comes to return your rented RV to the owner, be sure to complete all nine of these steps to return your RV without any hassles.

In May in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, the weather is cooler than you might expect. The temperature ranges from roughly 50 F at night up to 77 F or so during the day. When the weather isn't as hot as you expect, remember that the sun can still burn you. Take sunblock with you to the race or to other outdoor events. Wicking clothing will stay drier than almost any other clothing when you sweat. Always wear loose clothing that allows air to circulate, and protect your eyes with dark sunglasses. If you don't like putting sunblock on your face, then you can shield your skin with a wide-brimmed hat. It's also a good idea to have lots of water in your RV so that you can stay hydrated.

WHERE TO STAY

If a bed-and-breakfast is your thing, then one of the closest options is the Buffalo Tavern, which is 37 miles away in West Jefferson. In addition to daily breakfast, you can ask the staff to pack you and your family a picnic lunch to enjoy in the surrounding area. If water activities seem like fun to you, then it's just a 20-minute drive to the New River where you can go tubing.

The Hampton Inn Wilkesboro gives you a traditional hotel experience with modern amenities like complimentary Wi-Fi, a fitness center, a free hot breakfast, and the ability to bring your pets. It's right in Wilkesboro, so it's convenient when it comes to attending the NASCAR All-Star Race.
