NASCAR will stage its All-Star Race this weekend at the newly refurbished North Wilkesboro Speedway and the two drivers with multiple wins at the event enter with the best odds. Kevin Harvick and Kyle Larson each have two All-Star Race wins on their résumes and could join rarified air by adding a third. Only legends Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson have won three or more.
Current full-time drivers who meet the following criteria are automatically entered into the All-Star Race:Larson is the favorite at +600 while Harvick enters the weekend at +800. The last time the Cup Series ran North Wilkesboro was in 1996 – before six Cup Series regulars were even born – meaning no one has any experience driving on the unique uphill/downhill .625-mile oval.
Bell has finished in the top 10 in more than half of his 17 Cup short track starts including a win in the Martinsville playoff race last season. Despite similar Hendrick machinery to Larson, Byron has struggled on short tracks this year but posted an impressive sixth-place average finish on them from 2021-2022. Logano has an impressive 11 top-10s in his last 17 races on tracks shorter than a mile.
