HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. -- Sprint announced the return of the Sprint Fan Vote, a voting competition powered by fans to award one team a starting spot in the May 17 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Lowe's Motor Speedway.

SPEED will again broadcast the Sprint Showdown and All-Star Race. Tune in at 7 p.m. ET on May 17 to watch rivals race for $1 million -- and the fireworks!

Voting is available:

• On NASCAR.COM -- click here.

• On Sprint phones text "NASCAR" to 7777 and follow the received directions (standard text messaging and data rates apply).

• At participating Sprint stores.

• Trackside at the Sprint Experience.

Past Fan Vote winners include Ken Schrader (2004), Martin Truex Jr. (2005), Kyle Petty (2006) and Kenny Wallace (2007).

"I wish that all the drivers could feel what I felt last year when I was voted into the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race," Wallace said. "It solidifies what I've been doing the last 22 years. I look forward to rooting on the winner of the Fan Vote this year."

To be eligible for the Sprint Fan Vote, drivers must have been in the top 50 in Sprint Cup Series driver point standings in 2007 or have attempted to qualify for a 2008 Sprint Cup Series race prior to March 10. The driver with the most votes who finishes the Sprint Showdown on the lead lap will transfer to the prestigious field. The Sprint Fan Vote winner will be announced following the completion of the Sprint Showdown.

The winner of the 2008 Sprint Fan Vote will be announced on SPEED.
