This race is open to all race winners over the last year along with previous Sprint Cup champions of the last 10 years. Two additional spots are awarded to the top two finishers in the Sprint Showdown, another exhibition race that is held prior to the All-Star Race. In the All-Star race, the drivers compete in four segments. Drivers contend in a 50-lap segment that has a mandatory 4-tire green flag pit stop. Then there are two 20-lap segments until the end, where it is a 10-lap shootout to determine the winner.

Kyle Busch has an average running position of 7.7 in the All-Star while his driver rating is 104.6, which is the second-best of any driver in the series.
