Kyle Larson missed yesterday's NASCAR All-Star qualifying race while he was qualifying 21st for the Indy 500. Although Justin Allgaier was announced as Larson's replacement, he did not attempt to start the race since Larson would have to start in the back today anyway. The fact that Larson won the first North Wilkesboro all-star race in 2023 and is typically the best short track racer in the NASCAR Cup Series in general suggests that Larson will definitely gain more positions than any other driver in the race especially after starting 19th, which should help for Place Differential. However, the fact that it is so difficult to pass for the lead suggests that it will be difficult for Larson to win. His short track record is still so great that he might be worth starting even at $10,500, but passing is probably too difficult for him to win.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
