NASCAR will return to Dover Motor Speedway for the spring of 2027, marking the venue’s return to the Cup Series schedule alongside the O’Reilly sponsored event. This scheduling shift coincides with the relocation of the All-Star Race to North Wilkesboro, which will lose its points race designation.

According to reporting from RACER and Motorsport.com, these calendar adjustments represent a broader reconfiguration of the racing season. While coverage identifies the specific venues slated for these marquee events, it does not yet specify the full race weekend structures or the exact dates for these transitions.
