The 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race will bring together the sport's top stars for a high-stakes showdown on Sunday, May 18, 2025, at the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina. This unique, non-points event has long served as a showcase for racing's elite, and this year's edition promises intense action and strategic drama.
A tradition unlike any other in stock car racing, the NASCAR All-Star Race offers drivers the chance to race purely for pride and a $1 million prize, free from the burden of season standings. The short-track setting at North Wilkesboro provides a perfect battleground for this electric, high- contest.
Format and race-day structure adds intrigue to 2025 All-Star Race
The 2025 format includes a 250-lap feature event on the 0.625-mile oval. A scheduled competition caution will pause the race around lap 100, giving teams an opportunity to adjust their strategies. In addition, a discretionary "Promoter's Caution" may be deployed before lap 220 to tighten up the field and amplify the late-race intensity.
Before the main event, drivers who have not yet qualified will compete in the All-Star Open, a last-chance qualifier where stage winners and the fan vote winner earn their spots in the big race. It's a must-win scenario that delivers all-out racing and unexpected storylines year after year.
