The pre-qualified drivers for Saturday's All-Star Race has been added to the post above based on qualification rules (having won an ARL race in 2019 or 2020). The list was longer than I was expecting to be honest. I hope we have enough drivers to run the Opportunity Race! Invite your friends as it counts an an official ARL Victory if you win the race! Should someone new win in this week's Touring or Truck series events, they would also become automatically qualified for the All-Star Race! << Edited on Monday, May 11, 2020 at 5:49pm EDT. >> |

Is there a minimum to run the first race? I know part of the big deal is to give someone that statistic of a win. I can only think of Brad, CR, Matt, Nicky, Red, Zach that could run. Any info on the setup as in how it is selected and if it's a blind entry on race night for the first laps on it? |

My intention of limiting the wins to the last year or so was to increase the list of drivers in the Qualifier/Opportunity race - perhaps I should have thought about that a bit longer as it didn't really have the impact I had hoped for. The Opportunity race essentially requires 3 drivers minimum to run, I really hope we have more than that - please invite your friends!! |

It was good. The formatting went well and I definitely think the identical setup was a winning move. Stage lengths are tough to assess since we didn't have any long runs or green flag pit stops. The final stage length is good. My thoughts on what to do different are maybe a more open track (not a draft one) where there is more room to save it and successfully do the 3 and 4 wide we tried last night. Also, maybe hold the setup until the final day so nobody gets advantageous testing in. |

Thank you to everyone who came out and raced, it was definitely one of the best All-Star events we've run here. The setup likely will have a different format next year, one where changes on pit road don't help as much, but I agree that returning to fixed sets worked out well. |

Great event ARL! Love love loved it. Except for the multiple wrecks I caused. Sorry to most of the field. Welcome to the new guys. Good win LT. There was just enough adjustability in the setup to make it exciting. Any less and your running normal mode. No thanks. |

I thought it was a pretty cool event. Just wish I wasn't running out of gas every time the pits were closed haha. I did like the fixed setup for it and I think for a one off event like this it can be beneficial for drawing others in. I would consider modifying the invert format a bit. I think having an invert everytime would be fine, just randomly choose how many get inverted. |
