This weekend, we head to North Wilkesboro Speedway for the FaithFest 250. The race is Saturday at 1:30pm ET on FS1. They repaved North Wilkesboro after the 2023 race, and we saw a completely different race here in 2024 and 2025. They’re running the same right-side tire as last season but have a new left-side tire. North Wilkesboro speedway is a unique .625-mile oval. It doesn’t have a great comp, so I’ll be using practice, 2026 speed, recent short track data, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend. In 2023, there were 12 cautions for 81 laps, and in 2024, there were 7 cautions for 58 laps. Last season there were 6 cautions for 42 laps. With the repave, it has been tough to pass the leader, but we did see more passing through the field last season.
