The newest race on the Cup Series calendar is the Enjoy Illinois 300. The 240-lap spectacle is replacing the Pocono Organics CBD 325, which ran from 1982 to 2021.

It's at a track that not many of the participants have experience with. The 1.25-mile World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Ill., just outside St. Louis, typically hosts Camping World Truck Series and IndyCar Series races. It has hosted Xfinity Series races in the past. 

Last week's race, the Coca-Cola 600, was dramatic; Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin had to wait until double overtime to secure his first Coke 600 victory. At 619.5 miles, it was the longest race in NASCAR history.

It's unlikely the Enjoy Illinois 300 will be able to match that excitement, but the unfamiliarity of the track should present its own set of unique challenges.

Here's all the information you need to watch Sunday's race at World Wide Technology Raceway, including the TV channel and start time.
