Brad Keselowski earned pole position for the All-Star Race on Friday and won his heat race on Saturday, and before he tries to cap off the weekend with a $1 million dollar prize on Sunday, he met with the media to discuss the future of the event's current host track.
“I think this needs to be a points racetrack," he said in a press conference. North Wilkesboro rejoined the Cup calendar as the All-Star Race in 2023, but it hasn't hosted a points-paying Cup race since 1996. Despite that, the track has a deep and rich history in the sport as it was one of eight races in the inaugural Cup season in 1949, hosting the season finale.
