A rainy weekend full of postponements, cancellations, a qualifying session, a Pit Crew Challenge and part of a Craftsman Truck Series race finally leads to this: All Star Race day.
And you'll get three races, at that.
The truck race was rained out after 81 laps on Saturday and will resume at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday. As far as the Cup Series is concerned, the NASCAR All Star Open is up first, slated for a 5:30 p.m. start time at North Wilkesboro Speedway with the All Star Race serving as the nightcap, set to go at 8.
The Open, a 100-lap race, will feature 20 drivers battling for two spots, with the top-two finishers earning entry into Sunday night's main event. A final driver will get into the All Star field via NASCAR fan vote.
The All Star Race is scheduled for 200 laps with a mandatory caution at Lap 100 and 150. Teams must make four-tire stops at the halfway stoppage.
Joey Logano earned the poll on Saturday afternoon via three-lap qualifying run. The rest of the All Star lineup was supposed to be set by Saturday night's Heat races but those were rained out, meaning the field fell back on qualifying times instead.
Here's a look at Sunday's schedule, TV assignment and starting lineups for the All Star Open and All Star Race.
NASCAR All Star Race rules
The All-Star Race is set for 200 laps with mandatory cautions at Lap 100 and Lap 150. Teams must pit and take four tires at the midway break. Teams have been given two different tire compounds, one a standard Goodyear tire and the other a softer tire that should lead to quicker laps early in the run but more drastic and rapid wear.
Who qualifies for NASCAR All Star Race?
To have automatic entry into the All-Star Race, drivers must have won a race in 2023 or won a championship or previous All-Star Race. The top two finishers in the All-Star Open also earn entry as does the winner of the fan vote.
