The All Star Race heads to Texas this season as part of the deal that
allowed NASCAR to race at COTA in 2021



17 cars are already eligible, here's how.

2020 Race Winners

#1- Kurt Busch
#2- Brad Keselowski
#3- Austin Dillon
#4- Kevin Harvick
#9- Chase Elliott
#11- Denny Hamlin
#12- Ryan Blaney
#18- Kyle Busch
#19- Martin Truex, Jr.
#22- Joey Logano
#24- William Byron
#41- Cole Custer
#48- Alex Bowman


2021 Race Winners

#5- Kyle Larson
#20- Christopher Bell
#34- Michael McDowell

Previous Winners of the All Star Race

#6- Ryan Newman

None of the active Champions (Kurt Busch, Keselowski, Harvick, Kyle
Busch Truex, Logano, and Elliott) had to rely on their Championships to
make the field

There will be 4 more cars in the All Star Race. The winner of each of
the 3 segments and then the fan-vote winner



As for the race itself the format is... well it's something

The 6 stage race sees stage lengths of 15-15-15-15-30-10 to make a 100
lap event



Stage 1: 15 laps, starting lineup set by random draw
Stage 2: 15 laps, the field is inverted by a random draw of 8 to 12
Stage 3: 15 laps, the entire field is inverted
Stage 4: 15 laps, the field is inverted by a random draw of 8 to 12
(same as stage 2)
Stage 5: 30 laps, starting positions will consist of the cumulative
finish from Rounds 1-4. The lowest cumulative finisher starts on the
pole, second-lowest starts second, and so forth. All cars must enter pit
road for a mandatory four-tire pit stop during stage 5
Stage 6: 10 laps, starting lineup set by stage 5 finishing order

For the whole race, only green flag laps count

Also, the team with the fastest stop during the mandatory pit stop of
Stage 5 wins a $100,000 bonus

NASCAR has also lowered the horsepower from the already low 550 HP to
510 for this race.

Let me correct my earlier mistake, I forgot about the fan vote, there
will be 21 cars in the race. I think Bubba Wallace will win it if we
doesn't race his way in. I didn't pick him, but I do think he's got a
shot. If Wallace does race his way in, I do believe Timmy Hill will get
the fan vote.

@1, that format is certainly something. It'll be hard to keep up with
the running order.
