All-Star Victories
Roush Fenway has earned four victories in NASCAR’s All-Star night with former drivers Mark Martin, Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards. Martin, who is a two-time All-Star Race winner, first went to victory lane in 1998 for Roush Fenway before taking the checkered flag again for the organization in 2005. Kenseth earned the victory in the 2004 running of the event and Edwards visited the winner’s circle in 2011.

Racing in to the Show
Trevor Bayne raced his way into the All-Star Race last season after winning the first segment of the All-Star Open in a photo-finish with Chase Elliott. Bayne started the segment from the fifth position and utilized a three-wide move on the final lap to earn the victory. Bayne went on to finish seventh in the All-Star Race later that evening.

In the Show
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. qualified for the All-Star Race after scoring the victory in the MENCS event at Talladega Superspeedway on May 7. Stenhouse made one previous start in the All-Star Race in 2013, recording a 16th-place finish after racing into the event via the All-Star Open earlier in the day.
