There are three segments in this year's Sprint All-Star Race -- a 50-lap opening segment, a 50-lap second segment and a 13-lap final dash to the finish with a unique rule.

For the first time in the event's history, the starting order for the final segment will be determined following a random draw that decides if the top running nine, 10 or 11 cars have to pit for a mandatory four-tire stop between Segment 2 and Segment 3. Pit road will be closed for all other cars, and those for which pit stops were mandated must resume position for the final sprint, lining up behind the cars that did not pit -- creating an unpredictable, no-holds-barred rush to the checkered flag and All-Star history.

Hmmm.

It sounds interesting, but it also pushes NASCAR closer and closer to being Rollerball

So, from what I gather, it may be a smart move to head to the pits for a 4 tire stop right at about lap 48 of the 2nd segment so you would be on fresh tires, but still be ahead of the cars that had to pit.
