The Window World 400 is a NASCAR Cup Series stock car race held annually from 1949 to 1996 at the North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. It was the second of two Winston Cup Series races held annually (with the springtime First Union 400) at North Wilkesboro Speedway before the track was abandoned in 1996. [1] The race was normally held in late September or early October. The race marked the last time a race winner finished at least a lap ahead of the rest of the field (1994, Geoff Bodine won by one lap over Terry Labonte).
In 2023, during NASCAR's 75th anniversary season, the NASCAR All-Star Race moved to North Wilkesboro Speedway. [2] In 2026, the race was moved to Dover Motor Speedway, giving North Wilkesboro a points-paying race. [3]
