NASCAR 2025: Qualifying order for the All-Star Race and All-Star Open at North Wilkesboro Speedway

North Wilkesboro Speedway is ready to host the third consecutive All-Star Race this weekend. The season’s second exhibition event, a 250-lap contest, kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, May 18.

The North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, boasts a 0.625-mile short paved oval track. The track hosted the first All-Star Race in 2023 and features 14 degrees of banking in turns and three degrees of banking in straights.

Apart from making a lone appearance on the Cup Series calendar in 2025, the North Wilkesboro track will also host the Truck Series race this weekend.

The All-Star Race will feature 23 drivers, and 20 are confirmed. The practice will open this racing weekend at 4 p.m. ET, on Friday, May 16, followed by qualifying sessions and a pit crew challenge to mark the end of the day on the track. In short, the qualifying format of the All-Star weekend is different.

A three-lap qualifying session with a compulsory four-tire pit stop on Lap 2, and the best time will determine the starting order for Saturday’s two heat races and Sunday’s All-Star Open. The results of heat races will determine the starting lineup for Sunday’s 250-lap main event.
