Event Preview
There will be a pause in points-scoring races on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule this weekend, as the All-Star Race will be held in North Carolina. The race has been held at North Wilkesboro Speedway since 2023, and a competitive event is expected this weekend.
Kyle Larson could make history on Sunday, as he bids to become only the second driver to win the race on four occasions. It could be challenging to overlook his chances this weekend, as the driver has won two of the last four races.
William Byron started the season in excellent form after a win in the Daytona 500. However, he has finished outside of the top five in three of the last four races. Christopher Bell could be a solid chance after finishing second last weekend. The driver has now finished in the top two positions in five of the last eleven races.
Chase Elliott also has previous winning experience in the All-Star Race. The former champion has been consistent throughout this season, but he has finished outside of the top ten in three of the last four races.
NASCAR All-Star Race Picks
Kyle Larson will be a clear favorite this weekend, as he bids to enter the history books as a four-time winner of the All-Star Race. His dominant form on track makes him hard to oppose, and he should be the outstanding chance to claim victory in North Carolina.
