Kyle Larson’s All-Star Race victory at North Wilkesboro Sunday tied the Hendrick Motorsports driver with Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon for three All-Star victories, the second-most in NASCAR history.

“So much fun there,” Larson said of his third All-Star win. “That was old-school ass whipping for sure. We had a great car on the long run there and was just thinking for sure there was going to be a caution.”

The only driver who has won more All-Star Races is seven-time series champion Jimmie Johnson with four victories.

The All-Star Race was first run in 1985 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. After the second race in 1986 was held at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Charlotte hosted the All-Star event from 1987 to 2019.

Bristol Motor Speedway hosted the race in 2020, followed by Texas Motor Speedway in 2021 and 2022.

Darrell Waltrip was the first All-Star race winner.

In total, 26 drivers have won the All-Star Race.
