NASCAR All-Star Race Preview
The All-Star race will be held at Bristol Motor Speedway’s .533-mile oval for just the second time since 1985, will be a four stage race with a total of 140 laps — 55 laps at the start of the race followed by two 35-lap stages. One final 15-lap round to the finish line will determine the winner.
This year, NASCAR is trying something new: the “choose rule” is being implemented on restarts. When drivers are going single file after pit stops, they can now choose the lane they would prefer to restart in. Traditionally, the race leader picks a lane, and the other drivers line up behind him, following suit. This will be a bit different.
The pole position will be occupied by Martin Truex Jr., and the purse for the race is slated to be $1 million. Kevin Harvick is one of the early favorites, but some drivers, like vet Kyle Busch, are looking forward to a track they’ve grown very comfortable with over the years.
Busch hasn’t won in his last 17 starts, and he is currently in 11th place in the standings. He’s hoping the track will be as welcoming to him this time as it has been in years past, winning the Bristol triple in both 2010 and 2017.
“I’m really happy that the All-Star Race will be there,” Busch said this week. “[Bristol] has been a good place for us over the years. We had a good run there in the first race, and I think we can take some notes and apply them for this week…It’s probably the best we’ve been at a track since we’ve come back racing.”
Here’s a look at the drivers who will be competing in NASCAR’s All-Star Race. The All-Star Open will take place before the All-Star Race, and the top three finalists will fill out three of the final four spots. A fan vote will fill the 20th and final spot.
