Preview: Before planning any wagers for the NASCAR Sprint Cup All-Star Challenge, you’d better check and see if your favorite driver is in the field. And that can be complicated, because three of the race’s entrants – the 1st- and 2nd-place finishers in the preliminary Showdown Race, and the winner of the fan vote – won’t be known until moments before the green flag.

Preview: This weekend, NASCAR drivers and fans take a week off from points racing to focus on fun and funds … a non-points paying event with a guarantee of at least $1 million to the winner of the Sprint All-Star Challenge. The race consists of four short segments and will include some mandatory pit stops, with the final segment a 10-lap free-for-all.
