NASCAR at Dover 2025: Start time, TV, streaming for Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400

After two weeks away from the norm, it's back to the familiar ovals this weekend for the NASCAR Cup Series at a classic venue. The grid leaves behind a road course in California wine country and heads east for the Monster Mile at Dover Motor Speedway. It's a unique oval on the calendar at 1 mile long with a concrete surface and high banking (24 degrees in all four corners). This is the Cup Series' first oval race since Atlanta on June 28. It'll also marks the penultimate round of NASCAR's inaugural in-season challenge. Ty Dillon, who was the 32nd and final seed, continued his unlikely run to the final four drivers thanks to 17th-place finish in Sonoma, upsetting No. 8 seed Alex Bowman. He'll take on No. 12 seed John Hunter Nemechek who finished one place ahead of Erik Jones to advance to the semifinals. In the bottom half of the bracket, No. 6 seed Ty Gibbs – the top remaining seed in the challenge – advanced with his second consecutive top-10 result. He'll face off against No. 23 seed Tyler Reddick to decide who will race for the championship. After two weeks of Shane van Gisbergen dominance, a new driver is likely to emerge on top. Will it be a new winner or a familiar face in victory lane? Here's everything you need to know to get ready for the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Dover Motor Speedway on Sunday, July 20: What time does the NASCAR Cup race at Dover start? The Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday, July 20, at Dover Motor Speedway in Dover, Delaware. What TV channel is the NASCAR Cup race at Dover on? The Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 will be broadcast on TNT with an altcast on truTV. It's the third of five races to be broadcast on the network. Pre-race coverage will start at 1 p.m. ET. Will there be a live stream of the NASCAR Cup race at Dover? Yes, the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 will be streamed on WatchTNT, Max and Sling TV. How many laps is the NASCAR Cup race at Dover? The Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 is 400 laps around the 1-mile track for a total of 400 miles. The race will have three segments (laps per stage) — Stage 1: 120 laps; Stage 2: 130 laps; Stage 3: 150 laps. Who won the NASCAR Cup race at Dover last year? Denny Hamlin held off a charging Kyle Larson in the final 10 laps to take the win in Dover last year. Hamlin's victory by 0.256 seconds was his third and final win of the season. A fast pit stop by the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota crew after Stage 2 powered him to the front, and he secured the lead with 72 laps to go. Martin Truex Jr., Kyle Busch and Chase Elliott rounded out the top five. NASCAR In-Season Challenge fourth round matchups We're down to four drivers in the inaugural in-season challenge. Thirty-two Cup Series competitors entered the tournament starting at Atlanta. The field was cut down to 16 for Chicago, then down to eight in Sonoma, leaving a final four in the fourth round. Round 4 has just one top-10 seed remaining (Gibbs) as well as the lowest seed in the challenge (Dillon). Two drivers will advance to the final round next week at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Former Nebraska baseball player Brice Matthews records first MLB hit on Saturday

Nebraska baseball alum Brice Matthews got his first major league hit on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners. The hit itself was a single, and took place in the top of the third inning. Matthews was selected by the Houston Astros No. 28 overall in the 2023 MLB draft. He was officially called up to the Astros on July 11 and made his major league debut that same day. He was a productive player for Nebraska, as he was a powerful bat for the Huskers. His junior season was particularly of note, as he had a .359 batting average with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases. He became the first Husker in school history to achieve that feat. He was named to the 2023 all-Big Ten First Team. Now, Matthews is looking to make an impact at the major league level, and he certainly did that on Saturday. His career trajectory has been impressive to say the least.
