Welcome to a different format for this week's race....ALL STARS Race at North Wilkesboro Raceawy in North Wilkesboro, NC 100 laps, 62.5 miles. Tune in on Sunday, May 19 at 5:30pm for the All Star Open followed by the All Star Race at 8pm ET on FS1.

The 2024 NASCAR All-Star Race format at North Wilkesboro Speedway has been set. The 0.625-mile track will host the event for the second straight year and Kyle Larson is the defending race winner. Ahead of this year's events, North Wilkesboro underwent a repave and William Byron was part of the tire test there in March.
Similar to last year, the events are relatively straightforward. There will be a 100-lap All-Star Open, in which the top-two finishers and the Fan Vote winner will transfer to the All-Star Race. The main event of the All-Star Race will be 200 laps with two All-Star cautions in place (more on that in a moment) and the winner will once again take home $1,000,000. This year's events will again include a Pit Crew Challenge, heat races to determine the lineups for the All-Star Race and the added intrigue of tire management and strategy based on different types of tires available (more on that below).
To be eligible for the All-Star Race, a driver has to meet one of the following three criteria:
1. A points race winner in the NASCAR Cup Series in either 2023 or 2024;
2. A past All-Star Race winner who competes full-time;
3. A NASCAR Cup Series champion who competes full-time
Additionally, a driver can get into the All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro by:
1. Being a top-two finisher in the All-Star Open;
2. The NASCAR Fan Vote winner
Byron, Larson and Chase Elliott have qualified for the All-Star Race as all three have won races since the start of the 2023 season. Elliott and Larson are also two of the five drivers to win the All-Star Race for Hendrick Motorsports, which has won the non-points race 11 times in its history. Jimmie Johnson's four wins (2003, 2006, 2012 and 2013) are the most in event history. Team vice chairman Jeff Gordon's three wins (1995, 1997 and 2001) are tied for the second-most in event history with Larson and Dale Earnhardt. Larson has two wins while driving for Hendrick Motorsports (2021 and 2023). Terry Labonte (1999) and Elliott (2020) each have won one All-Star Race for the team.
Drivers not eligible for the All-Star Race will compete in the All-Star Open, where the top-two finishers will advance to the main event. A Fan Vote winner will complete the field. Alex Bowman has not yet qualified for the main event, so he falls into this group of drivers. Should Bowman not win one of the three races before the All-Star Race, he must finish in the top-two positions in the All-Star Open to transfer through or win the Fan Vote. Last year, Bowman was sidelined by injury for this race and fill-in driver Josh Berry won the Open to advance.
The All-Star Fan Vote launched this evening and will run through Sunday, May 19, at 5:30 p.m. ET.
