• The 2008 edition of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race will run a total of 100 laps on the 1.5-mile tri-oval – making it the longest in the event’s 24-year history.
• There will be four segments – with each being 25 laps. (The first four-segment race was held in 2007 with four equal segments of 20 laps each.)
• All restarts will be double-file and the “Beneficiary” rule will be in effect throughout the race.
• Green and yellow-flag laps will count in the first three segments. In the final segment, only green-flag laps will be scored DOWNLOAD THE ALL STAR RACE GRID (ABOVE) 83 Team wins Pit Crew Challenge May 16, 2008 at 12:28 PM SPRINT PIT CREW CHALLENGE

The seven men who service Brian Vickers’ Red Bull Toyota didn’t earn a single penalty in
