Wednesday night’s NASCAR All-Star event is actually two races in one. First is the NASCAR Open in which drivers that don’t automatically qualify for the All-Star race can graduate to the main event. To do so a driver must win a stage or the race itself. Another way to qualify is through fan voting. Second is the All-Star Race itself. This year’s NASCAR betting action will take place at the Bristol Motor Speedway. The famous track is known as “The World’s Fastest Half-Mile.” From this point, the greatest drivers in NASCAR will be on hand. Let’s take a look!
