The All-Star Race is open to race winners from last season through the 2020 Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway, all previous All-Star race winners, NASCAR Cup champions who had attempted to qualify for every race in 2020, the winner of each stage of the All-Star Open, and the winner of the All-Star fan vote are eligible to compete in the All-Star Race.

Originally to be held at Charlotte Motor Speedway, this was the program cover anticipating the original date and venue before the pandemic forced NASCAR to move the event to Bristol Motor Speedway at a different date. 2020 NASCAR All-Star Race program cover (Charlotte version).jpeg
Originally to be held at Charlotte Motor Speedway, this was the program cover anticipating the original date and venue before the pandemic forced NASCAR to move the event to Bristol Motor Speedway at a different date.

As part of scheduling changes associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and citing a desire to host the race with fans (which is not currently possible due to current health orders in North Carolina), the All-Star Race was moved from Charlotte Motor Speedway to Bristol Motor Speedway. [12]

While most NASCAR races held since the resumption have been held behind closed doors with no spectators, the All-Star Race admitted 30,000 spectators with social distancing. Although this was only 20% of the venue's total capacity of 162,000, the All-Star Race hosted the largest number of spectators at a U.S. sporting event since the beginning of pandemic-related restrictions. [13]

A new "choose rule" was used for restarts during the race, where drivers could choose whether they wanted to be in the inside or outside lane. [14] NASCAR experimented with an underglow lighting package on vehicles at the All-Star Race, color-coded by manufacturer (with Chevrolet in orange, Ford in blue, and Toyota in red). This package was featured on the vehicles of all drivers who had automatically qualified for the event. [15] [16] At the request of teams, NASCAR also experimented with moving the numbers on the sides of vehicles closer to their rear tires, in order to provide additional room for sponsor logos. [17]
