Fans can vote an unlimited number of times between March 20 and
May 18 by downloading the NASCAR Mobile ’13 application or visiting
NASCAR.com/SprintFanVote. Votes cast on NASCAR Mobile ’13 will count twice
towards a driver’s total. The driver receiving the highest number of votes will
earn a spot in the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, which airs live on SPEED at
7:30 p.m. ET. Radio coverage on the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR
Radio begins at 6:30 p.m. ET.
In 2008, Kasey Kahne became the first and only driver to win the
NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race after being voted into the event via the Sprint Fan
Vote. Other winners of the Sprint Fan Vote include: Ken Schrader (2004), Martin
Truex Jr. (2005), Kyle Petty (2006), Kenny Wallace (2007), Joey Logano (2009),
Carl Edwards (2010), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (2011) and Bobby Labonte (2012).
To date, 26 drivers are eligible for the 2013 Sprint Fan Vote
including Sunoco Rookie of the Year candidates Danica Patrick and Ricky
Stenhouse Jr. To be eligible for the Sprint Fan Vote, drivers must have
finished in the top 55 of the final 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver points
standings or attempted to qualify for the 2013 Daytona 500. Any eligible Sprint
Fan Vote candidate who wins a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race during the 2013
season will automatically gain entry into the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race.
Subsequently, the driver’s name will be removed from the Sprint Fan Vote ballot
and their accumulated votes will be voided.
In addition to accumulating the most votes, a Sprint Fan
Vote-eligible driver must also finish the Sprint Showdown qualifying race on
the lead lap with a car in “raceable” condition (as determined by NASCAR
Competition) to earn a spot in the race field.
Tickets for the entire NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race weekend are on
sale now. Packages start at just $99 for all weekend events including scanner
rental. To purchase tickets, call 1-800-455-FANS (3267) or visit www.charlottemotorspeedway.com.
