All Star Race

I've never been particularly interested in the all star race. But, am curious as to how the participants are picked. With this miserable season going on and on and on...........will Tony be in the All Star competition?

The Sprint All Star race is between race winners from the previous season and the beginning of the current season, as well as the past ten event winners and the past decade's Cup Series champions. Two other ways to become eligible to race in the event are finishing first or second in the Sprint Showdown (a 40-lap race in two 20-lap segments for drivers not eligible for the main event), or by winning the fan vote. The race's distance is 90 laps, 135 miles (217.3 km) and is separated into four segments of 20 laps and a final 10 lap run to the finish.

Yes, Tony is qualified for this year's race.

Good Info H, I kind-a wondered who was eligible too

I like it because it's a way smaller car count and a shorter race.

The All Star Race is a nice diversion, but I've always liked watching different pit strategies, something you don't get to see in the All Star race.

If memory serves, Tony won the All Star Race in 2009. It was the first race he won for SHR . It was the first time the crew guys had ever been in victory lane and I think Gene Haas was there as well. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

yeah that is correct. it was the race Ryan was gonna win before Kyle & Gordon got into each other & pushed Ryan into the wall.
Both Tony & Ryan have won the all star race so unless they change the rules all three SHR cars will be in the all Star race (you know Danica is gonna win the fan vote)

It's almost too bad that Jr. won at MIS last year, otherwise that would be an impressive battle for the fan vote.

well they still got the most popular driver vote, i think this year i will have to vote so there is no injustice hahaha

It is a great race......fast, under the lights, all out, no fuss, no muss no glory....no points just money!! ONE MILLION DOLLARS TO THE WINNER!! . Watch for passes in the grass, brothers wrecking brothers...strategy and lots and lots of action!! Tony and Ryan will always be in it because they have won it! Danica will probably get in on popular vote....ya think!?!? Next to the pit crew challenge it's my favorite race!! This will either be a very expensive race for SHR,..............or very profitable! I have been to the last three!

In 2009 my friend was given Tony's towel from the winner's circle and I made her put in her will, that THE TOWEL will be passed on to ME when she goes to the great "Race Track in the sky"!!!!!

Danica in the All-Star Race,i don't think so

Danica in the All-Star Race,i don't think so

well they have to do the radio sweetheart & I am not sure if Kurt is in it

I wouldn't be surprised if Danica wins the vote. She's in the top 10 right now and has tremendous support across the country.

Let me change that after reading this...

I'd BE SURPRISED if Danica DIDN'T make the all-star race.
