Introduction

NASCAR will move its All-Star race to Dover. Also, NHRA racing returns to Michigan.

Main Body

The 2026 NASCAR All-Star race is now in Dover. This is the first time for this track. Workers will put a special glue on the road to help the cars drive better. There are races on Friday and Saturday. The big race is on Sunday. The race has new rules. Drivers race three laps to start. The main race has three parts. Some drivers go to the final part because they won before. Other drivers go to the final part because fans vote for them. NHRA racing is back in Michigan. It is the first time since 1960. The race is from September 18 to 20 at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park. This is the start of the playoffs. There is also a street race on August 8 in Pontiac.
