30 paint schemes for the 2023 NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway

Halfway through the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season, the NASCAR All-Star Race is back, but this time, it’s visiting a historic track.

For the first time since 1996, the Cup Series will race at the newly renovated North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina. The All-Star Race is set for Sunday (8 p.m. ET, FS1) and will be a 200-lap race around the 0.625-mile track. And, as always, a $1 million prize is on the line for the All-Star Race winner.

The 21 drivers who are guaranteed a spot in the All-Star Race are Cup race winners from 2022 and 2023, former All-Star Race winners still competing full time and former Cup champs still competing full time.

Among drivers not already eligible, one will join the field as the winner of the fan vote, while the other two will race their ways in via the All-Star Open — a 100-lap qualifying race ahead of the main event.

So ahead of the 2023 NASCAR All-Star Race, here’s a look at 30 paint schemes for the drivers with guaranteed starting spots, along with a few from those hoping to qualify for the race.
