Josh Berry has won the All-Star Open at the North Wilkesboro Speedway, earning his spot in the All-Star race and the chance to compete for $1m. Ty Gibbs, who finished second, and fan vote winner Noah Gragson also qualified for the race, but will start at the back of the field. Daniel Suarez and Chris Buescher will start on the front row after winning their heats on wet-weather tires. 21 drivers had already qualified for the event based on past performance. Berry and Gibbs raced their way into their first All-Star race in the 100-lap Open. There were two crashes in the Open, including one involving Michael McDowell and Justin Haley, who were both running in the top five at the time before being bumped by Gibbs. Gragson was also involved in a crash early on that took out three other cars.
