The NASCAR All-Star weekend moves into its second day on May 16, when qualifying takes place at Dover Motor Speedway. The session uses a pit-stop challenge that asks drivers to complete a lap, make a brief stop in the pits and then finish the run.
Qualifying Format
Every one of the 36 cars on the roster is entered, making this year’s qualifying the only edition without an open race, and the format stays exactly as it has in recent seasons.
The pit-stop challenge requires drivers to run a single lap, enter the pits for a quick service, and then complete the final segment, adding a strategic element that sets the All-Star weekend apart from traditional qualifying sessions.
Broadcast and Streaming Details
The live broadcast will air on FS1 at 12 p.m. Eastern, with a simultaneous feed on SiriusXM and PRN radio for those who prefer audio coverage.
Fans can stream the qualifying through the FOX One app or directly on NASCAR.com, while the audio stream on SiriusXM requires a subscription.
Dover Motor Speedway, a one‑mile concrete oval located in Delaware, provides the venue for the competition, continuing the series’ tradition of delivering short‑track excitement to a national audience.
