ALL-STAR: Dale Earnhardt Jr. earned a victory in his first start in the All-Star Race on May 20, 2000. It was a 70-lap event, and he took the lead from Dale Jarrett on Lap 69 to lead the final two laps and win the race. Earnhardt has made every All-Star Race since 2000, although he has had to run the Sprint Showdown twice. Both times, Earnhardt transferred to the All-Star Race – once by winning the fan vote (2011) and once by winning the Showdown (2012). In the last four All-Star events, the Kannapolis, North Carolina, native has earned a best finish of fourth (2014) and a lowest finish of 10th (2015).

DEW RETURNS: Mountain Dew returns to the No. 88 for its second of three races. Earnhardt will drive the patriotic No. 88 Mountain Dew Chevrolet SS in Saturday night’s All-Star Race.  By virtue of his race wins last season, Earnhardt has already secured his place in the 113-lap event and will have the opportunity to race for $1 million.
