Preview<\/strong>:\u00a0 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<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 The race consists of four short segments and will include some mandatory pit stops, with the final segment a 10-lap free-for-all.An estimated 22 drivers will make up the field, including those who’ve won a race in the preceding year or a Cup title or All-Star race in the past 10 years.\u00a0 Two drivers will make the race by finishing 1-2 in the preliminary Sprint Showdown race on Saturday, and one driver will be voted in by the fans.<\/p>\n

Safe Bets:<\/h3>\n

1. Kyle Busch (+600):\u00a0 Though Busch hasn’t won a Cup race at Lowe’s yet, he has won at least one segment in each of the past three All-Star races.\u00a0 He’s also the hottest driver in the series right now, winning three of the last nine races on a variety of track lengths.\u00a0 In the past three Lowe’s points-paying events, Busch has one pole, two third-place finishes and a fourth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Jimmie Johnson (+700):\u00a0 Johnson is a two-time winner of the All-Star race (2003, 2006) and a five-time Cup race winner at LMS, including four straight in 2004-2005.\u00a0 He has the best average finish among active drivers here with an 8.9, although his performance stats have fallen off a bit the last two years.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dark Horse:<\/h3>\n

1. Kasey Kahne (+1400):\u00a0 Kahne was voted into the All-Star race last year and went on to win – not\u00a0 that surprising given his record at Lowe’s.\u00a0 He’s won three times here including the sweep in 2006 and the spring race last year; he finished second in the fall.\u00a0 He also leads all drivers in points accumulated over the past five races at Lowe’s including bonus points.<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong>\u00a0 With a lot of money – but no championship points – on the line, the All-Star race tends to be checkers or wreckers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Look for at least a few favorites to end up taken out in crashes and the possibility of a very unexpected winner.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
