The mothballed North Wilkesboro oval track has been spectacularly revived to its former glory, making it the ideal battleground for this year's NASCAR All-Star race event, the first NASCAR race since its closure in 1996.
Before the All-Star Race occurred in the born-again North Wilkesboro, an All-Star Open event occurred with the top 2 finishers and the Fan Vote winner getting transferred to the All-Star Race. With Noah Gragson the Fan Vote winner, Josh Berry winning the All-Star Open and Ty Gibbs finishing 2nd, they got the spot at the All-Star Race alongside points race winners from the previous and present NASCAR Cup Series races as well as past All-Star Race winners and NASCAR Cup Series Champions.
200 laps, 24 racers, and one million dollars at stake. This is what the NASCAR All-Star Race is all about and because this is North Wilkesboro born again, it's historical.

After a historic 200-lap fight in the reborn North Wilkesboro, Kyle Larson is officially a millionaire for he is the winner of the 2023 NASCAR All-Star Race!
This year's NASCAR All-Star Race may be over but there's more work to be done in the ongoing 2023 NASCAR Cup Series as the next race will be the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway this May 28th.
