Both events were rescheduled for early Saturday, with the $1 million All-Star Race still scheduled to go off in the evening. All drivers who won a race last year are eligible, as well as past All-Star race winners Tony Stewart, Jamie McMurray, Ryan Newman and Kasey Kahne. NASCAR this week updated the rules package to reduce downforce and side force for the All-Star race. The All-Star race will be 113 laps divided into three segments. The Sprint Showdown is divided into three segments, and the winner of each segment will advance into the All-Star race.
