Sprint All Star Race brings every single impact driver on the NASCAR circuit, for an all out war. The race is AWSOME!! Just take every NASCAR driver who has won a race over the last two years, combine them with the winners of The Cup for the last decade, throw in the top qualifiers from the Sprint Showdown, and put them all together on the track of Lowes Motor Speedway, and you’ve got yourself one heck of a show.

This race is just for the money, as drivers will receive no points for their performance this weekend. With nothing to lose, many drivers will  go for broke at this event, which leads to a lot of wrecks. It’s common to see the field nearly cut in half for the final stretch run.

Segment 3: 20 laps with a 10-minute break at the end of Segment 3. Teams may make normal adjustments to their cars during this break. The finishing order after the third segment determines the final starting positions for the fourth and final segment.
