The NASCAR Cup Series is taking a break from its regular season points races this week in favor of the All-Star events of the 2022 NASCAR season. The All-Star Open and the All-Star Race are returning to Texas Motor Speedway for the second straight year.
The race is scheduled to be held on Sunday, May 22 at the 1.44-mile-long track. The green flag for the All-Star Open and All-Star Race will drop at 5:30 pm ET and 8:00 pm ET, respectively. Both the races will be broadcasted on FOX and PRN.
Before each race, there will be a qualifying session to decide the starting lineup for the main event. Along with the already-qualified All-Star Race drivers, three drivers who are not yet eligible for the race will try to make their way in. Twenty drivers have already qualified into the race. Three winners from the All-Star Race, plus the fan-vote winner, will join them.
Both the All-Star Open and All-Star Race will be held for single-car qualifying with one lap each and the qualifying order will be in reverse order based on owners’ points.
Qualifying for the All-Star Open is set for Saturday at 7:35 p.m. ET, and qualifying for the All-Star Race is set for the same day at 7:55 p.m. ET.
