Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star Race weekend TV schedule

Get the lowdown on where and when to watch all of the on-track action during Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star Race weekend.

The stars of NASCAR get to shine every weekend, but it’s possible they shine just a little bit brighter under the lights with nothing but money and bragging rights on the line. That’s the idea behind the Monster Energy NASCAR All-Star Race anyway, and it’s that time of the year once again.

With a field limited to race winners and champions (except for the driver who races in from the Monster Energy Open and another who wins the fan vote), it really is just the best of the best. And without points to worry about, getting to the checkered flag first is all that matters.

The NASCAR All-Star Race does have a companion event, though, as the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series also pays a visit to Charlotte Motor Speedway. That race takes place on Friday night.
