The NASCAR Cup Series heads to North Wilkesboro Speedway for All-Star Weekend, with $1 million on the line in Sunday’s All-Star Race (8 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN Radio, Sirius XM NASCAR Radio). Drivers not yet locked into the main event have a chance to race their way in through the All-Star Open (5:30 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN Radio, Sirius XM NASCAR Radio) or win the Fan Vote to gain entry.
QUALIFYING ORDER: Cup Series All-Star Race | Cup Series All-Star Open | Craftsman Truck Series
Qualifying will look a little different this weekend as each Cup Series team entered will set a three-lap qualifying effort, with a mandatory pit stop on the second lap acting as the Pit Crew Challenge. The total elapsed time will set the lineups for the Open and two All-Star heat races.
