Ranking 5 drivers feat. Kyle Larson with the most NASCAR All-Star Race wins

NASCAR ace Kyle Larson is set to compete in the annual All-Star Race this Sunday, May 18. Since its debut in 1985, the exhibition event has crowned multiple winners across various tracks. Larson ranks ahead of most of his peers and even some NASCAR legends on that prestigious list.

The 2024 NASCAR All-Star Race will feature 23 drivers, with 20 already qualified by meeting one of three criteria. Either through a win in the current or previous season, being a full-time competitor, and a former All-Star Race winner, or having a Cup Series championship to their name.

#5 Joey Logano

Reigning Cup Series champion Joey Logano is one of the few drivers to have won the All-Star Race on more than one occasion. The Team Penske driver secured his first victory in the event nearly 10 years ago at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where he overpowered five of his current Cup competitors.

Logano is also the reigning champion of the All-Star Race. After his win, his season took a turn for the better.

#4 Jeff Gordon

Hendrick Motorsports legend and four-time Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon has won the million-dollar race three times in his illustrious and historic NASCAR career.

Gordon’s first All-Star win came in 1995, the same year he captured his first Cup Series title while driving the iconic #24 Chevrolet. Interestingly, this pattern continued through his remaining All-Star victories, as he also went on to win the Cup championship in both 1997 and 2001.

#3 Dale Earnhardt

NASCAR Hall of Famer and seven-time Cup Series champion Dale Earnhardt is considered one of the best to grace a NASCAR track. The former driver won three All-Star Races during his 27-year career in the Cup Series.

Like Jeff Gordon, Earnhardt Sr.'s triumphs also coincided with his championship-winning years. Furthermore, his son, Dale Earnhardt Jr., also went on to win the prestigious event during his Cup career.

#2 Kyle Larson

Former Cup Series champion Kyle Larson has racked up three wins in the All-Star Race early in his career. His first triumph in the exhibition race came during his stint with Chip Ganassi Racing, piloting the #42 Chevrolet.

Since then, Larson also secured an All-Star Race win in his maiden Cup Series title campaign in 2021 before winning it again in 2023. Sunday's race at North Wilkesboro Speedway is crucial for Larson, as securing his fourth victory in the event would put him in a shared P1 with a NASCAR legend.

#1 Jimmie Johnson

Seven-time Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson tops the list with the maximum number of wins in the NASCAR All-Star Race. Johnson, the only driver to win five consecutive Cup Series titles, secured four wins in the All-Star Race.

Kyle Larson and Jimmie Johnson are only separated by a single win, a stat that the former would want to change.
