Christopher Bell
All-Star North Wilkesboro Fantasy Outlook – Christopher Bell is a shorter-flat track ace who’ll be a factor in the All-Star Race. Bell finished 17th last year but make no mistake he was one of the best and that’s an asterisk mark result. In the second half of the race, Bell did some beating and banging near the front and as a result he just wasn’t at his best to close out and faded. In the race, Bell had the 6th best Total Speed Ranking but take note his speed over the segments were 5th, 4th, 4th and then 18th. Additionally, Bell earned the 6th best Driver Rating and had a 7.0 average running position. In 2023, Bell started 7th, slid back to 15th by the half-time break, got an uncontrolled tire penalty during the midway break and then finished 12th when the checkered flag waved. Additionally, Bell had a 13.5 average running position and had the 13th best Green Flag Speed. Since 2024 in short track rules package races, Bell ranks 4th in terms of Track Type Total Speed Rankings.

Joey Logano
All-Star North Wilkesboro Fantasy Outlook – Joey Logano put on a display of domination in last year’s All-Star Race and there’s no doubt he’ll be tough to beat as he vies for the repeat. In last year’s All-Star Race, Logano won the pole, won the race, led 199 of the 200 laps, had a 1.0 average running position and earned a near perfect Driver Rating. In terms of Speed Stats, Logano had the best Total Speed Ranking, the best Green Flag Speed and then ranked 2nd for Speed Late In A Run. In 2023’s rendition, Logano looked to be one of the best and don’t let his 10th fool you. In the race, Logano was in 4th at the time of the midpoint caution, but he then got an uncontrolled tire penalty which sent him to the back and he just wasn’t able to fully bounce back. In the race, Logano ranked 6th for Green Flag Speed, had the 7th best Total Speed Ranking and his average running position was 7.7. Take note in the race, Logano really liked his car. This year in short track rules package races, Logano has the 4th best Total Speed Ranking.
