NASCAR Race Today: All-Star Heats start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

The NASCAR Cup Series All-Star weekend action continues at North Wilkesboro Speedway today, Saturday, May 17, with the All-Star Race Heats 1 and 2.

Qualifying on Friday night set the starting lineups for the two heats, with the finishing order from Heat 1 set to determine the inside row for Sunday's All-Star Race, and Heat 2 the outside row.

After qualifying, Brad Keselowski will start out front in the first heat race, with Alex Bowman and William Byron also set to start inside the top three.

In the second heat, meanwhile, Christopher Bell will start out front after finishing second in qualifying on Friday night, with Chase Briscoe and Joey Logano set to start second and third, respectively.

Whilst there are no points up for grabs this weekend, there is a $1 million prize for the winner of Sunday's main event, meaning drivers should have plenty of motivation to finish well in Saturday's heats and gain the best possible starting position for the All-Star Race itself.

With that said, let's get into all of the timing and TV details you need ahead of today's action, as well as the full starting lineups for both All-Star Race Heats.
