The first NASCAR All-Star Race at Dover Motor Speedway quickly became an attrition-filled event that eliminated some big names long before the final segment began. Several crashes during the first two 75-lap segments on Sunday collected more than half of the 36-car field. There were 19 drivers locked into the 200-lap dash for $1 million, but Chase Elliott and Ross Chastain still were eliminated because their cars could not be repaired, and backups weren’t allowed. Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, Bubba Wallace and Christopher Bell started the last stage with cars that were damaged.
