Promoter's Caution Could Add Random Layer of Chaos in NASCAR All-Star Race
- Marcus Smith, president of Speedway Motorsports, will control a new random 'Promoter's Caution' during the 250-lap NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
- The caution, a yellow flag at an unpredictable point within the first 220 laps, aims to bunch the field but may erase large leads, adding uncertainty to the race outcome.
- North Wilkesboro Speedway, a 0.625-mile track recently renovated for $20 million after 35 dormant years, hosts its third consecutive All-Star Race, which is an exhibition with no points but a $1 million prize.
- Drivers like Christopher Bell highlight the race's aggressive nature, while Joey Logano accepts the Promoter's Caution as fitting for an all-star event but opposes it in points races, noting it might cost him a win.
- The Promoter's Caution reflects an attempt to renew the All-Star Race's excitement and break from tradition, though some, including Brad Keselowski, advocate for restoring points races to North Wilkesboro and returning the All-Star Race to Charlotte.
