"What To Do For A Million!"

 

 

All-Star Qualifying is tonight (Friday) at 7:10.

Three laps and a pit stop with fresh rubber all the way around, total elapsed time will determine how they line up...Pole Winner gets 50 Grand.

All-Star Challenge breakdown:

90 laps for 135 miles in 3 segments (40, 30, and 20 laps) will make up the challenge Saturday night.

Segment one:... green flag four-tire pit stop between the 14th and 16th lap is mandatory.

Between the first two segments... they'll get a 10 minute break during which a random drawing will determine if as few as six or as many as 12 cars will be inverted.Teams can... change tires, fill-er up with Sunoco, make a chassis adjustment, and that's it!

Between the last two segments...they get a yellow flag, if they want gas, tires, and throw a little wedge in her, that's fine....but, your gonna start at the back in the order you left pit road.

All restarts will be double file and lapped cars will start at the rear. In the last segment, only green flag laps count!

The purse is worth: $3,216,700.00
Segment winners will bank: 1st, $75,000; 2nd $20,000; 3rd, $10,000
The winner gets a check for: $1,004,350.00
