Christopher Bell wins NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro

Christopher Bell won the 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway by overtaking defending champion Joey Logano with nine laps remaining after a two-tire stop during the final caution. Logano, who aimed for his second consecutive All-Star victory, finished just 0.829 seconds behind Bell after multiple lead defenses following the Lap 223 restart. Ross Chastain, Alex Bowman, and Chase Elliott rounded out the top five, while Carson Hocevar, John Hunter Nemechek, and Noah Gragson advanced to the main event through the All-Star Open and fan vote. Bell and Brad Keselowski had strong showings in the preliminary heat races, with Bell praising his team's improvements and Keselowski securing pole position for the main event. The race featured five cautions and 18 lead changes, highlighting the competitive nature of the event at the notoriously difficult-to-pass short track. Betting odds prior to the race had initially favored Kyle Larson, but Bell emerged as the favorite and eventual winner, underscoring his strong form this season with three consecutive regular-season wins earlier in the year.
