Twenty drivers head to Texas Motor Speedway for the 2022 All-Star Race this afternoon.
The All-Star Race carries a unique format and does not count toward the Cup Standings. It does, however, come with a $1 million purse for the winner, so we don’t need to worry about motivation issues.
While other races typically have 34 to 37 entrants, this fan-favorite event has 20 drivers competing with one another for 125 laps around the 1.5-mile quad-oval. The race will feature four stages, with the winners of the first three stages taking the top three positions for the last 50-lap sprint.
Texas Motor Speedway features high-energy racing, which is sure to be entertaining for fans and DFS players alike.
