After back-to-back masterclasses from the last two champs, the NASCAR All-Star Race heads back to North Wilkesboro Speedway with a revamped format and a longer run that's sure to stir the pot.
This year's showdown stretches to 250 laps — up from the usual 200 — and includes a mandatory caution around Lap 100 to regroup the field. Adding more strategy into the mix, a promoter’s caution can also be thrown any time before Lap 220 to shake up the running order.
Last season, Joey Logano dominated from start to finish, leading 199 of 200 laps from pole on the tight 0.625-mile track. In 2023, it was Kyle Larson who ran the show, leading 145 laps en route to his third All-Star triumph since 2019.
Logano, now a two-time All-Star Race winner (2017, 2024), holds the longest active top-10 streak in event history — 10 straight appearances in the upper echelon.
At the end of the night, the winner will cash in a cool $1 million — and likely a heap of bragging rights, too.
