Fan vote set to begin

Fan voting to select a driver to compete in the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race on Saturday, May 17 will begin at 8 a.m. Sunday morning.

Votes will be doubled when fans download and cast their ballots via the NASCAR Mobile App. Fans may also vote at NASCAR.com/SprintFanVote or by visiting the Sprint Experience in the midway at all NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races.

The winner will be announced in Victory Lane on Friday, May 16 following the Sprint Showdown at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Voting closes that night at 7 p.m.

To date, 30 drivers yet to win a qualifying race — including last year’s fan vote winner Danica Patrick, rookies Austin Dillon and Kyle Larson as well as Clint Bowyer, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and AJ Allmendinger — are eligible. Fans are permitted an unlimited number of ballots in selecting the driver who will compete for the $1 million winner-take-all purse. The driver who wins the vote must also complete Sprint Showdown qualifying with a car in “raceable” condition.
