There are no points on the line, but $1 million helps make sure the Sprint Cup set goes all out for the All-Star race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Kevin Harvick and Jimmie Johnson have been dominant at the 1.5-mile tracks this season, but the short All-Star format may see a new front-runner.
There will be plenty of drama Saturday night as the series spends its first of two weekends at home. Will some treat the All-Star race (7 p.m. ET, FS1) as a glorified test session for next week’s Coca-Cola 600?
Who will really have the upper hand? Who will be out early? Will anyone stop Johnson and Harvick?
Don’t have access to a TV to watch the race live? Even if you do, join us at 7 p.m. ET Saturday as ESPN.com’s writers and editors and fans of the sport dissect every aspect of the event.
