NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. — Twenty of the 23 spots have been set for Sunday night’s NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
The final three spots will be determined Sunday in the All-Star Open (green flag at 5:38 p.m. ET). The winner and runner-up will advance, along with the fan vote winner, to the All-Star Race (green flag at 8:14 p.m. ET).
The All-Star Race is 250 laps and pays $1 million to the winner.
Heat races set the lineup for Sunday’s All-Star Race.
Brad Keselowski was the fastest in qualifying and won his heat race and will start first in the All-Star Race. He seeks his first All-Star Race win.
Christopher Bell won his heat and will start second in the All-Star Race.
Joey Logano won last year’s All-Star Race. Kyle Larson won the event in 2023, the first year it was held at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
