While the NASCAR Cup Series point standings won't change this Sunday afternoon during the All-Star Race at Dover Motor Speedway, since this $1 million challenge is the 2026 season's second and final exhibition race, there are still standings to track during Sunday's race.
This race is scheduled to be a 350-lap race around the four-turn, 1.0-mile (1.609-kilometer) high-banked "Monster Mile" oval in Dover, Delaware, and it is set to consists of a 75-lap first segment, a 75-lap second segment, and a 200-lap third segment.
A full starting lineup for Sunday's first segment can be found here and was determined by Saturday's single-car qualifying session, which also featured a pit stop challenge.
The starting lineup for the second segment is set to be based on the results of the first segment, but with the top 26 drivers in reverse order. Drivers from 27th to 36th are simply set to retain their starting positions.
The starting lineup for the third segment is set to be based on the average results for each driver from the first and second segments. However, only 26 drivers are set to qualify, including the 19 who are already locked in. Six more are set to lock in via average finish from segments one and two, while another is set to lock in via the NASCAR Fan Vote.

NASCAR Cup Series at Dover: Standings after Segment 2
NOTE: These standings are based on average finish. The 19 drivers already locked into segment three locked in either by winning a points race in 2025, winning a points race in 2026, or winning a Cup Series championship.

Hendrick Motorsports' Chase Elliott and Trackhouse Racing's Ross Chastain entered the race weekend among the 19 drivers already locked into the third segment, but they were eliminated beforehand due to crash damage.
As a result, Hyak Motorsports' Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kaulig Racing's A.J. Allmendinger made it into the third segment, although they did not start at the back, since the starting lineup for the third segment was based on the average finish from segments one and two, even for the 17 drivers already locked in.
Spire Motorsports' Daniel Suarez got into the third segment via the NASCAR Fan Vote and therefore was awarded the 26th and final starting spot.
Several cars that took damage and did not complete segment one and/or segment two made it back for segment three, simply because they were already locked in and the cars were repaired enough to get back on the race track. Due to their poor average finishes from the first and second segments, they started toward the back.
Full race results can be found here.
As for the actual point standings, the 129-lead possessed by 23XI Racing's Tyler Reddick over Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin means that he is guaranteed to retain the lead after next weekend's Coca-600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, even with 85 points, not just 75 points, on the table in this crown jewel race, since it is set to consist of four stages, rather than just three.
NASCAR Cup Series points action is scheduled to resume on Sunday, May 24 with the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Live coverage is set to be provided by Amazon Prime Video beginning at 6:00 p.m. ET.
