Promoter's Caution Could Add Random Layer of Chaos in NASCAR All-Star Race

Marcus Smith, who leads Speedway Motorsports, will have the sole authority to determine the timing of the new "Promoter's Caution" during the 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway.
This exhibition race follows recent editions held at the 0.625-mile North Wilkesboro track, which reopened after a $20 million renovation and had dormant status for over 35 years.
The Promoter's Caution will trigger a yellow flag randomly during the first 220 laps of the 250-lap event, potentially wiping out leads and bunching the field for a restart.
Joey Logano said, 'I don’t think we should have a Promoter’s Caution in points-paying events,' but accepts it for this exhibition, where $1 million is at stake with no championship points.
The Promoter’s Caution aims to restore excitement to the All-Star Race, although drivers compete as hard as regular races, and outcomes remain uncertain as Smith keeps deployment plans undisclosed.
