Engines rumble, the field stacks up, and the intensity ramps fast in NASCAR’s winner-take-all showcase. Whether you come for the aggressive racing, the format twists, or the bragging rights, NASCAR All-Star Race tickets put you right in the middle of one of the sport’s most high-energy weekends.
This page covers everything you need — from understanding how NASCAR All-Star Race works to finding the right tickets and knowing what to expect when you arrive.
The NASCAR All-Star Race is NASCAR’s premier exhibition event: an annual, non-points showcase featuring NASCAR Cup Series cars and a race format built for action. It’s typically held in mid-to-late May (traditionally the weekend before the Coca-Cola 600) and has rotated in recent years after a long run at Charlotte Motor Speedway, with more recent editions hosted at venues like North Wilkesboro Speedway, plus stops at Bristol Motor Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway.
First held in 1985 (as “The Winston”), the event has produced 40+ editions and a reputation for unforgettable moments. The 1985 inaugural race was won by Darrell Waltrip, and the 1987 running delivered “The Pass in the Grass,” a defining NASCAR highlight when Dale Earnhardt battled Bill Elliott to the finish. Because there are no championship points on the line, the All-Star Race has also served as a proving ground for format experimentation and rule innovations.
The stakes are simple and massive: a winner-take-all payday and prestige. Historically, the prize has been a $1 million purse (and in some years higher), and the winner earns the title of All-Star Race champion. NASCAR frequently adjusts the format year to year, often using multiple stages/segments and a hard-charging final segment. Traditionally the field has been built around race winners, past champions, and past All-Star winners, with additional spots coming via the All-Star Open and a fan vote; for 2026, NASCAR announced the full Cup Series field will take the green flag for a 350-lap race.
On race day, fans can expect a festival-like atmosphere and a packed roster of talent. Legendary past winners and figures tied to the event include Dale Earnhardt, Davey Allison, Jeff Gordon, and Jimmie Johnson, and recent favorites often include current Cup Series front-runners such as Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, William Byron, Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin, Tyler Reddick, and Ryan Blaney. With the host venue varying by year—from the historic, revived 0.625-mile North Wilkesboro short track to Charlotte’s 1.5-mile quad-oval—each edition brings its own feel. If you’re planning to attend NASCAR All-Star Race, browsing tickets early is the smartest move.
Box Office Ticket Sales also carries tickets for other major NASCAR weekends and marquee races. If you’re planning multiple race trips (or comparing dates and venues), browsing related NASCAR events is a great way to find the experience and price point that fit your schedule.
NASCAR All-Star Race tickets typically range from around $50 to $150 for general admission and standard grandstand seats to $200–$500+ for premium grandstand, club, and hospitality packages, with premium packages running higher.
Prices are most influenced by the host venue and where you sit—frontstretch vs. backstretch vs. upper deck—and how close you are to the start/finish line. Weekend inclusions can also impact cost, especially options that bundle access such as the All-Star Open, hospitality add-ons, or pit-style premium access (where offered by the host track). As race day approaches, demand around the mid-May date can tighten inventory for the most popular sections.
No hidden fees. At Box Office Ticket Sales, the price you see is the price you pay. All fees are shown before checkout — no surprise charges when you reach the final step.
