RACE FORMATS:

THE OPEN

• Stage 1 (20 laps): Stage 1 winner earns a berth in the NASCAR All-Star Race.
• Stage 2 (20 laps): Stage 2 winner earns a berth in the NASCAR All-Star Race.
• Stage 3 (10 laps): Stage 3 winner is The Open winner and earns a berth in the NASCAR All-Star Race.

ALL-STAR RACE

• Stage 1 (25 laps): Stage 1 winner will start on the pole in the final stage as long as the driver finishes 15th or better in Stages 2 and 3.
• Stage 2 (25 laps): Stage 2 winner starts second in final stage as long as the driver finishes 15th or better in Stage 3.
• Special Stage Break (Pit Stop Competition): Each driver must pit and the pit crew perform a four-tire stop. The team with the shortest time on pit road (pit in/pit out) wins the pit crew award and the driver will start fourth in the final stage as long as he finishes 15th or better in Stage 3.
• Stage 3 (25 laps): Stage 3 winner starts third in final stage.
• Stage 4 (50 laps): Stage 1 winner starts first, Stage 2 winner second, Stage 3 winner third and pit stop competition winner fourth.

NOTEWORTHY

• This will be the second consecutive NASCAR All-Star Race at Texas Motor Speedway and marks just the fourth time the event is being held outside of Charlotte Motor Speedway in its 38-year history. The other Speedway Motorsports venues that hosted were Atlanta Motor Speedway in 1986 and Bristol Motor Speedway in 2020.
• Hendrick Motorsports has won a record 10 NASCAR All-Star Races, including the last two in a row with Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson. The next closest is RFK Racing and Richard Childress Racing with four each.
• Hendrick Motorsports and Chip Ganassi Racing have produced the most Open winners with five each. Larson won The Open in 2019 for Chip Ganassi Racing and went on to win his first NASCAR All-Star Race.
• Sixteen drivers will be competing in The Open for three berths in the NASCAR All-Star Race. Richard Childress Racing (Austin Dillon, Tyler Reddick), Petty GMS Motorsports (Erik Jones, Ty Dillon), Rick Ware Racing (Cody Ware, Garrett Smithley) and Spire Motorsports (Landon Cassill, Corey LaJoie) have two entries each. Each of the three stage winners will qualify for the NASCAR All-Star Race.
• Only two drivers – Davey Allison and Jimmie Johnson – have won back-to-back NASCAR All-Star Races in its history. Allison won consecutive all-star races in 1991 and ’92, and Johnson in ’12 and ’13.
• Larson dominated Texas Motor Speedway last season, winning the pole and race in both the NASCAR All-Star Race and the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 NASCAR Playoff race in the fall.
• Two father-son combinations and a pair of brother duos have won the NASCAR All-Star Race. The father-son combos are three-time winner Dale Earnhardt (1987, ’90, ’93) and his son, Dale Jr. (2000), and Bill Elliott (1986) and his son, Chase (2020). Brothers Kyle (2017) and Kurt Busch (2010) joined Darrell (1985) and Michael Waltrip (1996) as NASCAR All-Star Race winners.
• Kevin Harvick will be making his 22nd NASCAR All-Star Race start, which will tie him with Jeff Gordon for second all-time in starts. Mark Martin holds the record with 24.
• Kurt Busch will be making his 21st NASCAR All-Star Race start to move past Terry Labonte and Ryan Newman, and into sole possession of third all-time on the list.
• Kevin Harvick needs one more top-10 finish to tie Dale Earnhardt for the NASCAR All-Star Race record for top-10 finishes (14).
• Kurt Busch needs one more top-five finish to tie Dale Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson for the NASCAR All-Star Race record for top-five finishes (9).
• Kyle Busch is the NASCAR All-Star Race recordholder in laps led with 277. Harvick is the only other active driver among the top five with 163, two shy of Gordon in fourth.
