After two qualifying sessions on Friday and two heat races on Saturday night, the starting lineups are mostly set for the 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race and the NASCAR All-Star Open.
We say mostly because there are still three spots in the All-Star Race up for grabs, two of which will be determined by the results of the All-Star Open and one of which by a fan vote.
One-time Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski is locked in and set to start the All-Star Race on pole after setting the fastest time in qualifying on Friday, and he must be feeling positive about his chances of a first All-Star victory after winning the first 75-lap heat race on Saturday night, too.
Alongside Keselowski will be Christopher Bell, who, like Keselowski, impressed in qualifying on Friday, by finishing second, and then went on to win his respective heat race.
Elsewhere, in the All-Star Open, it's Shane van Gisbergen who is set to lead the field away when the lights go green at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
SvG edged the likes of Carson Hocevar and Noah Gragson in qualifying on Friday night and it will certainly be interesting to see which two stars emerge in the top two and qualify for Sunday's main event.
