All-Star Race

Race

The pole-sitter was Clint Bowyer, although the person who dominated the race was Kevin Harvick, seeking his second win in the All-Star Race and his first All-Star win since 2007. Kyle Larson took the lead in the #42 Chevrolet with 13 laps to go and held it to the end, winning his first All-Star Race victory.

Post-race Scuffle

On the final lap of the race, pole-sitter Clint Bowyer chopped into the front of Ryan Newman's #6 Acorns Ford Fusion, almost taking both cars out of the race. When the checkered flag waved and during the cool-down lap, Newman tapped Bowyer in the back, igniting a post-race scuffle that ended with Bowyer running up to Newman's car and punching him several times while Newman was strapped in his car. Both drivers were summoned to the NASCAR Hauler post-race, but no penalties were assessed to either driver.

Television

Fox Sports was the television broadcaster of the race in the United States. Lap-by-lap announcer Mike Joy was accompanied on the broadcast by retired NASCAR drivers Jeff Gordon and Darrell Waltrip. This was Waltrip's final planned All Star race in the booth, as he retired from NASCAR broadcasting after the June 23rd Toyota/Save Mart 350 (although he was a guest during the 2020 broadcast). Jamie Little, Vince Welch, and Matt Yocum reported from pit lane.
