What you should pay attention to at the NASCAR All-Star race in North Wilkesboro

North Wilkesboro, NC – Brad Keselowski is looking for the perfect weekend. Kyle Larson wants to go to the front from the back. And 21 other drivers will also compete in today's NASCAR all-star race on the North Wilkesboro Speedway $ 1 million.

The green flag for the All-Star Open is set for 5:38 p.m. The winner, the second place and the fan voting winner of this race will rise to the All-Star race.

The green flag for the All-Star race is set for 8:14 p.m.

Here is what you should pay attention to in today's races:

Beware of the promoter

The wrinkles in this year's race is a caution of a promoter that can be used before round 220 of the 250-round race. If the caution of the promoter has not yet been used and a natural caution appears after round 200, the caution of the promoter will no longer be in the game.

Brad Keselowski will lead the field to the green flag in the exhibition race, which pays the winner of $ 1 million.

Teams already know that there will be a competition in round 100. As the caution of the promoter of Marcus Smith, CEO of Speedway Motorsports, is used, could have a major impact on the race, as Christopher Bell explains:

“It will probably be in the game and then it will be the decision time what you have for the best opportunity to win the race. Often this call depends on what other people do. If you stay outside and you stay five or six boys with you, the profit is to stay outside.

“But just like the second Heat race (Saturday), if you stay outside and nobody stays outside with you, it was a lost call.”

Can the season of a team turn tonight?

Brad Keselowski begins for today's race and a victory – although it would not count for the playoff authorization – would be important for his team.

Keselowski has never won this race – he was three times second, which is bound to most of the event without winning it. This season was terrible. Keselowski has the 26th or worse space in nine of the first 12 points.

Heat Races set the line-up for the all-star race on Sunday.

“I think the team is a rather resilient group,” said Keselowski after winning the pole. “I don't care who you are as a team, we all need a positive reinforcement and encouragement.”

He also won his heat race on Saturday. A win this evening would complete a perfect weekend for the RFK racing team.

Keep an eye on the rear part of the field

Kyle Larson will most recently start on the 23-car field because he had Justin Allgaier qualified his car, while Larson was on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Larson's team decided not to take part in the Saturday heat race, as it didn't matter where the car was back due to the driver change for the all-star race.

With Kyle Larson on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Justin Allgaier drove Larsons number 5 and qualification on Friday.

Larson will be seen.

“I felt like a long -term pace, we were really good,” Allgaier, the reigning champion of the XFINITY SERIES, told NBC Sports. “When I look at round 30 or 40 (on one run), our pace was exactly where we needed it.”

Larson had to start last year in the back of the field because he was also on the Indianapoli Motor Speedway. Larson was fourth in the all-star race of last year.

Larson has three all-star victories, a shorter one than Jimmie Johnson.
