The race comes after a third brilliant win of the season for Kyle Larson last time out at Kansas, breaking the track record for number of laps led in a single race on his way to victory.

Larson is a three-time winner of the All-Star Race, winning on a two-year cycle of odd-numbered years (2019, 2021, 2023), a streak he'll be looking to extend on Sunday.

Last weekend's win finally took Larson to the top of the regular season drivers' standings, overtaking Daytona 500 winner William Byron and extending into a 35-point lead.

With that said, let's get into this weekend's Cup Series schedule and how you can watch all of the action live on TV.
