NASCAR Cup Series: Full All-Star Race qualifying order revealed

For just the second time this year, the NASCAR Cup Series is set to run a non-points race this weekend. Unlike the first one, the preseason Busch Light Clash exhibition race at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, this one is for a $1 million prize.

The NASCAR All-Star Race used to be contested at Charlotte Motor Speedway annually, but that changed in 2020 when COVID-19-related restrictions resulted in schedule changes. It was held at Bristol Motor Speedway that year before moving to Texas Motor Speedway in 2021 and 2022.

In 2023, North Wilkesboro Speedway took over as the host of the All-Star Race. The four-turn, 0.625-mile (1.006-kilometer) North Wilkesboro, North Carolina oval had not hosted any Cup Series races since 1996, and its return as the host of the All-Star Race has led to calls for it to become one of the 36 points races on the schedule at some point in the near future.

But for now, it hosts the All-Star Race, and following a repave after last year's event, which was dominated by Hendrick Motorsports' Kyle Larson, all eyes are focused on the kind of on-track product this year's event provides.

The qualifying orders for both the 100-lap All-Star Open and the 200-lap All-Star Race were determined by the reverse order of the point standings. The 17 drivers already eligible for the All-Star Race include winners from the 2023 and/or 2024 seasons and former champions and/or All-Star Race winners who compete full-time.

Race winners from 2023 or 2024 do not need to compete full-time to be eligible.

The top two drivers from the All-Star Open are also set to compete in the All-Star Race, as is the winner of the NASCAR Fan Vote (among the drivers not already locked in who still have raceable cars after the Open).
