NASCAR Qualifying Today: Dover start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series has finally escaped back to its oval track roots for this week's race at Dover, with qualifying for Sunday's AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 taking place today (Saturday, July 19).

The street and road double bill at Chicago and Sonoma saw Shane van Gisbergen sweep qualifying and the race two weekends in a row, but it's back to less familiar environs for the Kiwi this weekend.

Last year's race at Dover, run as the Wurth 400, was won by Denny Hamlin ahead of Kyle Larson. If the two were to fight for the win this year, they'd also be fighting to take the 2025 Cup Series lead in wins, as they both currently sit in the group on three apiece.

Neither especially need the win, with their playoff spots already assured, but drivers below the playoff cut line like Kyle Busch and Ryan Preece will be getting increasingly desperate to visit victory lane.

With that said, let's take a look at the details you need to know ahead of Saturday's qualifying action.
