All race winners from the 2019 and 2020 seasons are included, as well as former Cup Series champions and past All-Star Race winners. That leaves 22 other drivers who will compete on Wednesday prior to the All-Star Race. The All-Star Open will feature three stages (two 35-lap stages and a final 15-lap stage), with the winners of each stage advancing to the All-Star Race. The victors of the first two stages will drop out after winning. Aric Almirola won Sunday’s NASCAR All-Star Open at Texas Motor Speedway, joining stage winners Ross Chastain and Tyler Reddick into the NASCAR All-Star Race. The 21st and final All-Star starting spot went to DiBenedetto as the top vote-getter in fan balloting who had not already qualified for the main event. 1083456
