For the first time ever, the NASCAR Cup Series will hold its annual All-Star weekend at Dover Motor Speedway. This season, 19 drivers are locked in, but as with every year, the fan vote will decide another entry. Here are the top 5 drivers in the fan vote.
Noah Gragson
Gragson is still winless so far in the NASCAR Cup Series, but his advantage? He’s a fan favorite and has won the fan vote before!
Ryan Preece
Preece is one of the longest tenured drivers in the Cup Series without a victory. He scored his first “Unofficial” victory in February at the Clash at Bowman Gray.
Alex Bowman
Bowman has been winless in Cup since 2024 at Chicago. Now, he missed several races this season, costing him opportunities at a victory and a chance to lock in the All-Star. He will need to win the Open or get the fan vote.
Connor Zilisch
Connor was oh so close yesterday at his first Cup victory, but a flat tire and a hard-charging teammate took that away. Connor has been incredibly popular since joining the NASCAR Circuit just a few years back. TrackHouse hasn’t shown a lot of speed on ovals, so the fan vote will likely be his best shot at that $1,000,000
Chris Buescher
Buscher is a multi-time Cup Series winner but went winless in 2025, the first time in the Gen 7 car. So he will have to race himself into the All-Star… Or be voted in.
