At Darlington last week we saw Chris Buescher have another agonizing defeat as Tyler Reddick took him out with under 10 laps to go, but it wasn’t all bad for RFK as Brad Keselowski took home the win. Next up we head to North Wilkesboro for a little Short track fun (hopefully) in the All-Star Race. Down below you will find different statistics from all of the NASCAR Cup All-Star Races ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
In this post you will only find Active and Next Gen stats for the All-Star Race, if you are looking for all-time stats at North Wilkesboro check out my previous article All-Time Cup Track Stats: North Wilkesboro, or if you are looking for all-time drivers stats for the All-Star Race check out my next article All-Time Cup Stats: All-Star Race.
Active means any driver who started a race in the 2024 Cup Series season.

– Only two drivers led any laps in the All-Star Race last year, and one of them was the pole sitter. So, if the pole sitter is fast this year expect a lot of laps led from him.
