NASCAR’s All-Star Race (8 p.m. ET, FS1) has a very unique format, which includes four stages and a mandatory pit stop, with $1 million on the line for the winner.
The race is much shorter than typical NASCAR Cup Series events, meaning track position will be even more important than it already is for Sunday night’s All-Star Race.
I didn’t bet anything early because I wanted to see starting positions for the All-Star Race, but with the starting grid now set, two bets quickly popped as offering value for tonight’s race.
I know, way to go out on a limb by betting the co-favorite, right?
But even at just 6-1, there are too many reasons to like Kyle Busch’s chances tonight to ignore.
First, on similar tracks this season (Las Vegas and Kansas), Busch has shown plenty of speed, posting the second-best average finish while running the second-most fast laps en route to the second-best driver rating.
And by winning the pole in Saturday’s qualifying sessions, the scales are tipped even more in Busch’s favor.
The All-Star Race consists of four stages, the first three of which are just 25 laps.
The winner of each of these stages will start the final 50-lap stage first, second and third, assuming the driver finishes in the top 15 in Stage 3.
For example, the winner of Stage 1 will start first in Stage 4, the winner of Stage 2 will start second, and the winner of Stage 3 will start third.
Securing one of these top-three spots will be huge at a track like Texas which shows little tire wear, meaning track position is key.
So, by starting tonight’s All-Star Race on pole, Busch is in a great position to stay up front and lock in a win in either of the first three stages.
Additionally, at the end of Stage 2, there will be a mandatory four-tire pit stop, and the team with the fastest stop will automatically start fourth in the final stage (assuming they finish 15th or better in Stage 3).
So even if Busch can’t find a way to earn a win in the first three stages, the No. 18 pit crew has been the best as of late, so they’ll have another chance to earn a top-four starting spot in the final stage by banging out a quick stop at end of Stage 2.
Put it all together and we have a driver who has been fast on this track type all season, starting from the pole in a very short race where track position will not only be important to stay up front but also serve as a reward for stage winners.
Ross Chastain (+125 at DraftKings) for a Top-5 Finish
I know that I like Ross Chastain for Sunday night’s NASCAR All-Star Race, but to be honest, I’m really not sure how to play him.
I have no problem with someone betting him to win or even finish top three, but I’m opting for a top-five finish.
Like Busch, Chastain has been incredibly fast on this track type this season, ranking second in laps led while posting the best driver rating at Las Vegas and Kansas, combined.
Chastain was also fast in practice yesterday, evidenced by the fourth-best five-lap average, so, just as we all expected, that car will likely have speed tonight.
The Trackhouse Racing No. 1 team also did a great job in qualifying, putting their car sixth on the starting grid tonight.
Chastain has not been a great qualifier this season, so starting so close to the front will be a huge benefit, especially for all the reasons I laid out above for Busch.
Now, Chastain has been fast on longer runs this season compared to short ones, so I really don’t expect him to win one of the first three stages. However, it’s not out of the realm of possibility, either.
His car should have enough speed to stay near the front and earn a top-10 starting spot for the final stage, which is where Chastain could shine considering that’s not only the longest stage of the All-Star Race, but also because only green-flag laps count over the final 50 laps.
Ross Chastain confirmed he received medical treatment after Friday night’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race – feeling dehydrated, he got two bags of IV fluids after the checkered flag. And he said it was a lesson well-learned.
“Odd deal,” Chastain said. “I just didn’t hydrate enough.”
Chastain finished 12th in the Camping World Truck Series race driving the No. 41 Niece Motorsports Chevrolet and joked about a potential way to avoid the dehydration problem in the future.
“Probably eat more watermelon, probably just eat more watermelon in general,” said Chastain, whose family are multi-generational Florida watermelon farmers. “I know we joke about the watermelon, but had I eaten a little more of it, I probably wouldn’t have had the problems I had in the truck.”
Interestingly, although the temperatures were in the 90s on Friday, a cold front moved through on Saturday, markedly chilling the air. It is only supposed to be in the low 70s when the NASCAR All-Star race begins Sunday night.

Kyle Busch secured the pole position in Saturday evening qualifying for the NASCAR All-Star Race, emerging from a unique format with an elimination-style bracket at Texas Motor Speedway.
Busch ousted Ryan Blaney in a head-to-head battle for the pole, with his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota team completing a four-tire pit stop, and Busch getting a solid launch and prevailing in the race off pit road and a lap back to the checkered flag in the final matchup.
“Anytime you’re able to showcase the pit crew’s ability and have them and their athleticism in this competition, in this qualifying format, I enjoy that,” said Busch, the 2017 All-Star winner. “I think that’s my most favorite part of the year is coming to the All-Star Race, and whether it’s been Charlotte and coming down pit road and sliding into the box and whatnot. But having those guys go over the wall certainly means a lot, especially the No. 18 bunch that I’ve had a lot of success with over the years. It’s obviously changed up a few times, most recently, but you know, we’ve always been a threat to be reckoned with when it comes to getting on the pole for the All-Star Race. So it feels good to have that today.”
Said No. 18 crew chief Ben Beshore: “It’s something new, a good way to showcase our pit crew. They did a great job. They put in a lot of hard work this offseason and throughout the beginning of the year and they clicked off three really good stops there and got it. So that’s exciting.”
Blaney will start second in Sunday’s All-Star Race (8 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM) in the No. 12 Team Penske Ford. William Byron, defending race winner Kyle Larson and Kurt Busch complete the top five starting spots in order.

The 20 drivers who are already locked into the All-Star Race first made single-lap qualifying runs, with Byron claiming the top seed as the fastest from that session. The fastest eight drivers were placed into an elimination bracket, with the over-the-wall crews getting involved in the second session to vie for the pole. Aric Almirola claimed the eighth and final slot in the bracket, edging ninth-fastest Joey Logano during the single-lap time trials.
Byron, Blaney, Larson and Kyle Busch emerged from the first-round matchups. Byron outdistanced Almirola, getting a jump off the green light in the opener. Blaney sped away from Ross Chastain out of the pit box in the second matchup. Larson got the better of Kurt Busch in their first-round showdown, a speedy pit stop being the key for the defending Cup Series champ. Kyle Busch cruised past Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Martin Truex Jr., whose crew had trouble on the left-side change during the pit-stop segment.
Blaney defeated Byron in the first semifinal, and Kyle Busch outlasted Larson — who stalled off the starting line — in the other second-round clash to make the final.
Larson’s stumble essentially guaranteed Busch’s advance to the final round. Larson managed a smile and shook his head acknowledging his mistake in qualifying.
“I feel good (about my chances in the race), I felt like my car was decent, there was room to improve it, but I feel we’re in the ballpark to compete for the win,” Larson said. “Gotta do a better job executing than I did just then and hopefully we’ll have a good shot.”
“I just stalled it,” he said of the miscue. “I didn’t want to spin my tires too bad and obviously got a little too greedy and just stalled it. Embarrassing, it’s embarrassing, I’m the only guy that stalled so pretty embarrassing.”
Tyler Reddick claims pole for All-Star Open
Tyler Reddick grabbed the pole position for Sunday’s NASCAR All-Star Open qualifying race (5:30 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM) at Texas Motor Speedway.
Reddick put his No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet atop the speed charts at 186.981 mph in Saturday evening’s single-lap qualifying. Trackhouse Racing’s Daniel Suárez will share the front row after recording the second-fastest lap at 186.903 mph in the No. 99 Chevy.
Reddick said in a post-qualifying interview with FOX Sports that he’ll drop to the back during pace laps for Sunday’s Open, indicating that his RCR crew will need to make adjustments to the No. 8 Chevy before Sunday’s race.
The 16 drivers not already qualified for the NASCAR All-Star Race main event will attempt to race their way in during the 50-lap Open. The three Open stage winners will advance to the feature, with a fourth driver added to the All-Star starting lineup as the top vote-getter from fan balloting on NASCAR.com.
Denny Hamlin topped the chart in a 20-minute practice for the All-Star Race, posting a lap of 187.253 mph in the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. Kyle Larson’s No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet was second-fastest, with Kyle Busch, Ryan Blaney and Martin Truex Jr. finishing out the top five.
Thinking about this weekend, two main things come to mind. First, the driver who has won the All-Star Race has gone on to win the Cup Series championship in each of the last two years: Kyle Larson a season ago and Chase Elliott in 2020. With Texas Motor Speedway being a track in the NASCAR Playoffs, it is important to show up, have fun, but also set a bar and gain information for when the series returns in the fall. One of the many 1.5-mile tracks on the schedule, showing speed and resilience at Texas bodes well for a strong second half of the season. And the introduction of the Next Gen car makes this non-points weekend even more important. Secondly, which drivers will race their way from the All-Star Open into Sunday night’s main event? To be the All-Star Race winner and have a chance to continue the aforementioned trend, you have to first be in the race. Larson sealed the deal in the 2019 Open and went on to dominate the feature. So though the main event is already stacked with series champions and multi-race winners, don’t count these guys out just yet. | Learn more about the format and how it works
Who’s hot? Who’s not?
Early season mishaps have plagued the No. 5 team and Kyle Larson. However, despite those mishaps, Larson and company remain among the favorites in nearly every race. That speaks to how incredibly dominant Larson and company can be when they round into form, as we saw all of last season. In the last six races, Larson has only finished outside of the top six once — at Darlington Raceway due to engine issues. When he stays on the track, he is in the mix every week. As the back-to-back $1 million All-Star Race winner, Larson has a chance to be the first three-peat in Cup Series history.
On the other hand, Tyler Reddick has been spiraling down the standings after lofty pre-season expectations and a somewhat promising start to the season. Three of Reddick’s last four races have resulted in finishes of 30th or worse, and despite showing speed at many difficult tracks — like his runner-up finish at Darlington — the No. 8 bunch has just lacked consistency. Luckily for them, this week’s exhibition comes at the right time, and as a breath of fresh air. Without any points on the line, Reddick and the Richard Childress Racing bunch can use this weekend as an opportunity to iron out the wrinkles and get the ship back on the right course. Consistency from week to week would make Reddick a surefire playoff contender. | Cup Series standings
Driving under the radar
After a strong Joe Gibbs Racing, and Toyota as a whole, performance at Kansas Speedway, Christopher Bell enters this weekend on a three-race streak of top-six finishes. Though he has yet to reach Victory Lane this season, the No. 20 team has flashed speed and been increasingly more consistent in recent weeks. Enter Texas. Bell is on a tear here in points-paying races, finishing third place in two of his three starts at the Fort Worth track. The blossoming third-year Cup Series driver nearly has half as many top fives in 2021 as a season ago and has led more laps than in his preview two full-time seasons combined. Sitting 10th in the points standings, making a deep playoff run is a very attainable goal for this team. So look for them to continue to flex their growth this weekend.

Say what? 🎙
Notable quotes from the stars of the sport heading into Sunday’s race.
• “Texas is kind of its own unique animal. The other mile-and-a-halves we’ve ran they all have multiple grooves where you can run all over the place. You can run up by the wall. You can run the middle. You can run on the bottom, where Texas is definitely a lot more one-lane dominant, so it’ll be a little bit of a different race just from that standpoint because there’s not as many options to go and get in clean air. I think the draft will be a little more relevant here just because of the speeds and everything else. I don’t think you’ll see guys really searching around for lanes as much just because I do think it’s gonna be a lot harder with this car in general at Texas, but also just how the racetrack is. It’ll be interesting. It’s two totally different ends.” — Chase Briscoe, driver of the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford
• “We’ve struggled as of late, trying to get the balance right on our race car. But we’ve still been, you know, making some good finishes. We just got to keep working hard and take in what the races give us and staying confident and pumped about what we got going on here at RCR.” — Austin Dillon, driver of the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet
• “The All-Star Race is always a good time. There’s no real pressure and it’s a lot of fun for everyone. It’s a good opportunity for us to get laps at a track we’re going to see in the playoffs, especially with the new car. I’m looking forward to it. I feel like we have shown good speed lately, so that gives me confidence that we’ll be in the mix on Sunday night.” — Martin Truex Jr., driver of the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota
LEE, N.H. – Unlike the Kentucky Derby a few weeks ago, there would be no upset winner in the inaugural Granite State Derby presented by USA Insulation.
Doug Coby conquered Saturday’s NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event at New Hampshire’s Lee USA Speedway to earn his second Tour victory of the season in as many starts.
The 175-lap event was the first Tour event held at the 0.375-mile paved oval since 1998.
Coby, who was back in Tommy Baldwin Jr.’s No. 7NY for second straight race following a victory last weekend at New York’s Riverhead Raceway, spent the first half of the race conserving his equipment while Matt Hirschman led the way.
“Tommy Baldwin gave me a good car for two races in a row,” Coby said. “Just setting my pace with Matt (Hirschman) out front and just kind of seeing what his car was doing and it was really good. (We) just stuck to our plan.”
Coby moved into the lead for the first time following a restart on Lap 104, but he appeared to be in trouble as J.B. Fortin began marching through the field with fresh tires.
Fortin had nearly caught Coby when the caution flag waved for a spin by Justin Bonsignore. That allowed the entire field to hit the pits for fresh tires, with Tommy Catalano beating Coby off pit road to take the lead.
Catalano’s stint at the front was brief, as Coby quickly returned to the lead during the restart with 19 laps left. Coby had the race under control at that point and looked well on his way to victory until contact between polesitter Jake Johnson and Eric Goodale brought the caution flag back out with two laps left.
Coby held serve during the Overtime restart, fending off Jon McKennedy and pulling away to his 33rd NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour victory.
Two #NWMT races in 2022. Two #NWMT wins in 2022.@doug_coby does it again, this time at Lee USA Speedway in the Inaugural Granite State Derby!
“This is a tough track, you can spin your tires real easy,” Coby explained. “Jon is a clean driver, Matt is a clean driver, but I didn’t want to worry too much about Jon and open the door for Matt to be the hero. They’re both so good.
“To be able to race with those guys is a great feat for this 7NY team and the Baldwin family.”
McKennedy’s runner-up result was his best finish of the season in the No. 79 Modified. It was his seventh runner-up finish in Modified Tour competition since scoring his lone Tour win in 2018, ironically driving for Baldwin at the now-defunct Myrtle Beach Speedway in South Carolina.
“Just needed to rotate a little bit better. We were a little bit too pushy,” McKennedy said about his race car. “I just had to wait that little bit right in the middle of the corner to get the car to turn, and ultimately that’s where we struggled all day.
“Still a little bit off, but hey, I’ll take it.”
Hirschman dominated the opening 100 laps of the race but struggled to race his way back through the field following his first pit stop.
He eventually recovered to finish third, but he admitted there were some decisions he would like to have back after he dominated the opening portion of the event.
“Good start, just ended up a little bit off on strategy,” Hirschman said. “Sometimes you live or die by some of the decisions you make, and some of them start earlier in the day. What you do with your tires and how you plan on using them. I think we just ended up a little bit off. I’d like to re-do a couple things, but still a good run.”
Ron Silk finished fourth for his second top-five of the season, while Johnson was fifth in his second career NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour start.
Kyle Bonsignore, Austin Beers, Fortin, Goodale and Justin Bonsignore completed the top 10.
Saturday’s event was promoted by JDV Productions and was first in the three-race Whelen Granite State Short Track Cup, a mini-series within the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour schedule that features an additional purse structure and bonus money for competing teams.
A replay of Saturday’s Granite State Derby presented by USA Insulation at Lee USA Speedway will be broadcast on USA Network on Saturday, May 28 starting at at 11 a.m. ET.
The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour returns to action on Saturday night, May 28, with the running of the Jennerstown Salutes 150 at Pennsylvania’s Jennerstown Speedway. The event will be shown live on FloRacing.
Two Cup Series teams were penalized with crew-member ejections after multiple failures in pre-qualifying inspection for the NASCAR All-Star Race at Texas Motor Speedway.
Both the No. 12 Team Penske Ford team for driver Ryan Blaney and the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet team for driver Corey LaJoie failed pre-qualifying inspection twice at the 1.5-mile track. No. 12 car chief Raymond Fox and No. 7 car chief Scott Brewer were both ejected for the remainder of the weekend.
Qualifying is scheduled at 7:35 p.m. ET for the All-Star Open event, a 50-lap race for teams not already locked into the All-Star main event. All-Star Race qualifying is scheduled at 7:55 p.m. ET. Both sessions are to be broadcast on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
FORT WORTH, Texas — After running among the leaders all afternoon, Tyler Reddick took the point himself with a dramatic pass from third place with 31 laps remaining and held off the field to take the checkered flag in Saturday afternoon’s NASCAR Xfinity Series SRS Distribution 250 at Texas Motor Speedway.
It was Reddick’s 10th career Xfinity Series victory, coming in only his second start of 2022, and his first trophy since his 2019 Xfinity Series championship year.
It marked the first-ever win for the Big Machine Racing team’s No. 48 Chevrolet, with Reddick taking the checkered flag a distant 1.825 seconds ahead of fellow NASCAR Cup Series regular William Byron in an action-packed afternoon.
There were 11 caution periods, the second-most in the series’ history at the 1.5-mile Texas high banks, and tight racing on the ensuing restarts with the two-time Xfinity Series champion Reddick pulling off that impressive pass and ultimately earning his team’s debut victory.
“First off, just a huge opportunity and thank you to Big Machine Racing, [the car] was just so good,” the 26-year-old Californian said, noting he was motivated to take the drive this week to help the Richard Childress Racing-partnered team improve its Xfinity Series program overall.
“Chevrolet was just so good,” he added. “Nobody at RCR was really happy with where the cars were at, and I wanted to help and try to make these cars get better and to figure out what we needed to do to get these cars better.
“Well,” he smiled. “We figured it out pretty quick, I guess.”

Reddick’s victory snapped a three-race winning streak by the JR Motorsports Chevrolets, which combined to lead 118 of the 167 laps on Saturday.
Race runner-up William Byron, driving the No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet, was making his first Xfinity Series start since claiming the 2017 series championship and came within two seconds of earning JRM what would have been a historic fourth consecutive win by four different drivers.
The team had three cars finish in the top five and four finish inside the top-10, including Byron, Sam Mayer in third, Justin Allgaier in fourth and Josh Berry in seventh. Berry led a race-best 46 laps, Allgaier was out front for 33 and Byron paced the field for seven laps.
Gragson, who is ranked second in the series driver standings, ended up scored 36th in the 38-car field after first being collected in a chain-reaction accident at the start of the final stage, then secondly damaging the car beyond repair when a tire problem put the car in the wall only five laps afterward.
It was a rough ending to a great start on the weekend. The 23-year-old Las Vegas native earned his first career pole position, led 32 laps, and won Stage 1 – his series-best sixth stage victory of the season – twice that of any driver.
“I guess the only positive is we got a Playoff point for the stage win,” Gragson said, adding, “Definitely sucks. Good to see the other JRM cars running strong. … hopefully, we can get the company a good finish today.
“Just a bummer. We’ve been doing awesome, just disappointed. We were pretty quick and was just biding our time.”
Ryan Truex finished sixth in the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, scoring his best finish in five Xfinity Series starts this season. Stewart-Haas Racing’s Riley Herbst was eighth – his sixth straight top-10 finish and ninth of the season. Kaulig Racing’s Landon Cassill was 10th; his seventh top-10 of 2022.
All three of the championship leaders faced adversity on Saturday. Current points leader AJ Allmendinger – the only driver to finish inside the top 10 in every race this season – looked like that streak may have been stopped when his No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet had a tire rub racing Allgaier in the closing laps. He was able to maintain his top-10 season run, however, salvaging a ninth-place finish.
Ty Gibbs, who is third in the driver standings, was involved in the initial multi-car accident with Gragson on Lap 89. He already had a challenging day, sent to start the race at the rear of the field for an inspection violation.
After the race – and despite the challenges they all three faced – Allmendinger will take a 44-point advantage over Gragson into next week’s race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the Alsco Uniforms 300 (1 p.m. ET on FS1, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). He holds a 52-point edge over Gibbs, who is the defending Charlotte race winner.
Note: Post-race inspection was completed in the Xfinity Series garage without major issue, affirming Reddick’s victory. The No. 16 Kaulig Racing entry for Allmendinger was found with one unsecured lug nut in a post-race check.
