Only four drivers remain in NASCAR's In-Season Challenge as the tournament reaches its dramatic semifinal round this Sunday, July 19, at 7 p.m. ET on TNT, truTV and HBO Max. TNT Sports' exclusive coverage of the tournament shifts to the legendary North Wilkesboro Speedway, where the iconic short track returns to NASCAR Cup Series points racing for the first time in more than 30 years, providing a fitting backdrop for one of the season's biggest showdowns.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., Steve Letarte and Adam Alexander will provide commentary for Sunday's race, as well as practice and qualifying on Saturday, July 18 at 5 p.m., on truTV and HBO Max.
As the NASCAR In-Season Challenge reaches its Final Four, the battle for the $1 million prize has never been more intense. Fresh off his dramatic victory at EchoPark Speedway on July 12, No. 3 seed Ryan Blaney leads a semifinal field featuring No. 10 seed Christopher Bell, who has powered through one of the tournament's toughest brackets to keep his championship hopes alive. Fan favorite and No. 4 seed Chase Elliott remains firmly in the hunt, while No. 25 seed Todd Gilliland has emerged as the tournament's Cinderella story, stunning higher-seeded opponents with each advancing round. With a trip to the championship match up on the line, all four drivers will battle this weekend for the opportunity to race for the winner-take-all prize at the Brickyard 400 from Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 26.
Sunday's on-site race coverage will be preceded by NASCAR Nation Pre-Race presented by Nereus at 6 p.m., hosted by Marty Smith with analysts Jimmie Johnson and Jamie McMurray, alongside Earnhardt, Jr. and Letarte.
Pit reporters Shannon Spake, Danielle Trotta and Marty Snider will be live from Pit Road throughout TNT Sports' race coverage, bringing fans live reports, exclusive insights and driver interviews. Bleacher Report Racing Correspondent Mamba Smith will also contribute to live coverage.
