NASCAR Race Today: Bristol start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

The NASCAR Cup Series hits Bristol Motor Speedway today (Sunday, April 13) for the 2025 Food City 500.

Last time out at Darlington, Denny Hamlin took his second win in as many weeks with a dramatic overtime victory after a trip down pit road saw him take the lead ahead of a late race restart.

As a result, the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing driver heads into Sunday's race looking for a three-peat, and given he won the 2024 Food City 500, he will certainly fancy his chances.

Elsewhere, Kyle Larson is another name to watch in the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. Larson is formidable at this track and has been boosted heading into the race today by a win in the Xfinity Series on Saturday night.

Both Hamlin and Larson will have to overcome pole-sitter Alex Bowman, however, with Larson's Hendrick team-mate the star of the show in qualifying on Saturday.

We can't wait to see who comes out on top later this afternoon and we've got all the details below on how and when you can watch it all unfold live.
