Christopher Bell was not about to let Joey Logano win two consecutive NASCAR All-Star Races. Not when Bell’s Toyota had fresher tires than Logano’s Ford. And especially not with a $1 million prize on the line.

So, despite Logano repeatedly holding him off during the final 30 laps at North Wilkesboro Speedway, Bell made one final charge Sunday night and completed the pass with nine laps remaining before holding on to win the 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race.

Bell, racing in his fifth All-Star Race, led 28 laps to win the event for the first time. The 30-year-old became the 27th different driver to win the All-Star Race and just the third from Joe Gibbs Racing, joining Denny Hamlin and former JGR driver Kyle Busch. It was also just third All-Star win for a Toyota driver and the first since 2017 at Charlotte Motor Speedway as Chevrolet and Ford drivers had dominated the recent races.

“That right there was absolutely incredible,” Bell said after he completed a celebratory burnout. “North Wilkesboro is the best short track on the schedule. … I had so much fun last year. I sucked in the race, but racing here last year was so much fun. As this place continues to age, it’s just going to get better and better. Man, that was an amazing race.”

Logano, who dominated the 2024 All-Star Race, led a race-high 139 laps in his No. 22 Team Penske Ford but elected to stay out on the final pit stop while most of the field took at least two tires. The fresher tires paid off for Bell as he hunted down the three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion in the closing laps.

Bell has been one of the top drivers in NASCAR since 2022, finishing in the top six in each of the last three years. He won three races in a row earlier this year – at Atlanta, Circuit of the Americas and Phoenix – and finished second at the series most recent race at Kansas Speedway last weekend.

Christopher Bell wins 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race

Christopher Bell passed defending winner Joey Logano with nine laps to go to win the 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Bell collects a $1 million prize as the winner.

Bell, driving the No. 20 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, started second and led 28 laps across four different stints. Logano led a race-high 139 laps after starting fourth. Ross Chastain finished third, Alex Bowman fourth and Chase Elliott fifth.

2025 NASCAR All-Star Race: Lap 216 promoter’s caution

An optional promoter’s caution flag came out on Lap 216 of 250 with Joey Logano leading and Christopher Bell giving chase. The caution came out just as Kyle Larson began having issues with his No. 5 Chevrolet after trying to chase down the Logano and Bell.

Former NASCAR driver and current Fox Sports analyst Michael Waltrip waved the yellow from the flagstand and then accidentally dropped it on the track. During the caution period, most of the drivers hit pit road for tires, but Logano, Penske teamate Ryan Blaney and Ross Chastain were among those who stayed out with less than 30 laps to go before the scheduled end of the race.

2025 NASCAR All-Star Race: Lap 176 caution

Brad Keselowski got loose in the corner between Turns 3 and 4 and slammed hard into the outside wall in his No. 6 Ford to bring out the yellow flag. Keselowski, who started on the pole and had led 62 laps, was running ninth.

All drivers came down pit road during the caution to take fresh tires. The entire field got four new tires except Kyle Larson, who took two and came off pit road first. Joey Logano, who has led a race-high 83 laps, will restart alongside Larson on the front row. The race is scheduled for 250 laps.

2025 NASCAR All-Star Race: Lap Lap 155

Joey Logano is back up front after holding off Christopher Bell on a restart on Lap 121. Logano has now led more than 60 laps after dominating last year’s All-Star Race. Bell runs second, Ryan Blaney third, Chase Elliott fourth and Alex Bowman fifth.

2025 NASCAR All-Star Race: Lap 114 caution

Ross Chastain brought out the caution flag after spinning on Lap 114. Chastain’s No. 1 Chevrolet got bumped by Austin Cindric’s No. 2 Ford as both battled with Alex Bowman’s No. 48 Chevrolet for track position. Moments before, Cindric had contact with Josh Berry in the No. 21 Ford.

2025 NASCAR All-Star Race: Lap 101 competition caution

Joey Logano, who won last year’s All-Star Race, took the lead on Lap 81 after taking four tires on his pit stop and held it through the competition caution. Logano passed Daytona 500 winner William Byron, who took the lead two laps after the restart on Lap 64, following a three-wide battle for the lead with Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch.

Christopher Bell moved up to second, Chase Elliott was third, Ryan Blaney fourth and Byron dropped to fifth. Busch was sixth, Austin Cindric seventh, Keselowski eighth, Ross Chastain ninth and Josh Berry 10th.

All drivers came down pit road under caution for more fuel and fresh tires. The race is scheduled for 250 laps. Bell won the race off pit road and will restart on the front row alongside Logano.

2025 NASCAR All-Star Race: Lap 57 caution

Daniel Suarez hit the outside wall on Lap 57 bringing out the first caution of the race. Suarez appeared to have a flat right front tire. All drivers came down pit road under yellow to take fuel and tires. Brad Keselowski, who has lead nearly every lap of the race, took just tires on his pit stop to maintain his lead. William Byron also took two tires and will restart second.

2025 NASCAR All-Star Race: Lap 50

Brad Keselowski started on the pole Sunday night at North Wilkesboro Speedway and has led 49 of 50 laps. Joey Logano, the 2024 NASCAR All-Star Race winner, sits in second and has led the only other lap. William Byron races third, Chase Elliott fourth and Christopher Bell fifth.

The 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race is 250 laps around the 0.625-mile oval.

Carson Hocevar wins NASCAR All-Star Open

Carson Hocevar took charge on the final restart on Lap 84 of 100 to surge to the lead in his No. 77 Chevrolet and win the 2025 NASCAR All-Star Open. John Hunter Nemecheck, in the No. 42 Toyota, finished second. With the results, Hocevar and Nemechek advanced to their first NASCAR All-Star Race. Noah Gragson won the fan vote for the third consecutive season and will also transfer to the All-Star Race.

The three drivers will start the 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race, which is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, in the rear of the field behind the 20 automatic qualifers.

NASCAR All-Star Open hits halfway point

The yellow flag waved for a compeition caution on Lap 50 in the 2025 NASCAR All-Star Open. Shane Van Gisbergen led all 50 laps. The race is scheduled to go 100 laps, but there will be one attempt at overtime, if necessary, at the end of the race.

The top two finishers plus the All-Star fan vote winner will transfer to the NASCAR All-Star Race later tonight and will start in the rear of the field.

The No. 1 overall Winnipeg Jets announced before Game 6 against the Dallas Stars that No. 1 center Mark Scheifele’s father, Brad, had died unexpectedly the night before.

Scheifele told the team he was going to play in Saturday’s game to honor his father. Not only did he play, he opened the scoring in the second period and was a force with nine hits.

The Stars were able to rally when Sam Steel scored in the second period and, late in the third period, Scheifele had to haul down Steel to prevent a breakaway. Thomas Harley scored in overtime before the penalty expired for a series-clinching 2-1 victory.

‘It’s tough to put into words what Mark went through today,’ Jets captain Adam Lowry said. ‘He gets a huge goal for us, plays a heck of a game and it ends the way it does.’

Scheifele received a lot of respect in the handshake line, including a long hug from Stars captain Jamie Benn, who was fined after Game 5 for sucker punching Scheifele.

USA TODAY provided updates on Game 6 between the Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets. Game highlights:

What’s next for the Stars?

They will head to the conference final for the third year in a row. They lost the last two, including last year against the Edmonton Oilers, their next opponent. They went 2-1 against the Oilers in the regular season.

What’s next for the Jets?

They finished with the league’s best record, so there’s a good core there. Nikolaj Ehlers is the key unrestricted free agent. Mason Appleton and trade deadline acquisition Brandon Tanev also are UFAs. Kyle Connor can sign an extension this summer and fellow first-liner Gabriel Vilardi is a restricted free agent.

Stars vs. Jets highlights

Game 6 recap

Stars-Jets final score: Dallas wins in overtime

Thomas Harley connects with a one-timer from the slot at 1:33 with 13 seconds left in the Mark Scheifele penalty. Dallas is heading to its third consecutive Western Conference final with a 2-1 overtime victory. It will be a rematch of the 2024 conference final that Edmonton won.

Overtime begins

Things to remember: The Stars have nearly two minutes of a power play. Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey is injured.

End of third period: Stars 1, Jets 1

Connor Hellebuyck and Jake Oettinger were U.S. goalies at the 4 Nations Face-Off. They showed why by matching big saves in the third period. Hellebuyck stopped Mikko Rantanen in tight and Oettinger robbed Mason Appleton with a diving save. Forget the narrative about home Hellebuyck vs. road Hellebuyck. He has looked good in Dallas.

Stars go on power play

Mark Scheifele trips Sam Steel with 14.8 seconds left in regulation. First penalty of the game. Should it have been a penalty shot?

Jets kill off the remaining seconds of the period. Power play will extend into overtime.

Six minutes left in regulation

Still 1-1 after Dallas’ Evgenii Dadonov hits the post.

Huge save by Jake Oettinger

Oettinger dives across the crease to get a piece of Mason Appleton’s shot with the net wide open.

Brandon Tanev returns

He’s back on the ice after a collision.

Mark Scheifele chance

He fights off two defenders for a scoring chance, but his shot goes wide.

Brandon Tanev injury?

The Jets forward is grimacing on the bench after a collision with Miro Heiskanen.

Connor Hellebuyck save

He stretches out and gets his leg on a shot by Mikko Rantanen, who’s left alone in front.

Third period underway

No sign of injured Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey.

End of second period: Stars 1, Jets 1

Heartbroken Mark Scheifele is having a dominant performance. Not only did he score, he has nine hits through two periods. He opened the scoring but Sam Steel tied it up with his first goal of the playoffs. Shots were 12-8 Winnipeg in that period. Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey left the game with what appears to be a leg injury.

Josh Morrissey goes to the dressing room

The Jets defenseman is limping after being involved in a collision with Mikko Rantanen.

Jets-Stars score: Dallas ties it up

Sam Steel, who had a good chance in the first period, connects this time. He walks into a rebound and beats Connor Hellebuyck under the crossbar at 11:12. Stars 1, Jets 1

Jets-Stars score: Mark Scheifele connects

The Jets get their first sustained pressure and connect. Nikolaj Ehlers is stopped on a breakaway and with the Stars on a delayed penalty, Scheifele picks up a rebound and beats Jake Oettinger at 5:28. Jets 1, Stars 0

Second period underway

Still scoreless.

End of first period: Stars 0, Jets 0

Considering the Jets have a minus-5 goal differential in the first period in the playoffs, they have to be happy to escape with the scoreless tie. The Stars did control a lot of the play, but not a lot of their shots got through. Shot attempts are 26-12 Dallas. Shots on net are 6-3. Connor Hellebuyck makes a chest save on Lian Bichsel and a pad save on Matt Duchene. Jake Oettinger stopped the Jets’ best chance, by Cole Perfetti.

Stars continue pressuring

Dallas was in the Winnipeg zone for nearly two minutes. Three shots on net. Shot attempts widely in Stars favor.

Stars pressuring

Dallas’ Tyler Seguin shoots wide of an open net.

Six minutes in

No shots yet for Winnipeg. Dallas has two.

Game underway

Connor Hellebuyck makes a save on Mikko Rantanen early.

Mark Scheifele to start in Game 6

The NHL roster report shows that Mark Scheifele will be out for the opening faceoff and center his usual line with Kyle Connor and Gabriel Vilardi. The Stars will start with the Roope Hintz-Mikael Granlund-Mikko Rantanen line.

Mark Scheifele will play in Game 6

Jets coach Scott Arniel said Mark Scheifele will play in Game 6 after the death of his father.

‘He said that would be the wishes of his dad, that he would want him to play,’ Arniel said. ‘I know he’s been rooting us on.’

Jets players ‘gutted’ over death of Mark Scheifele’s father

Jets captain Adam Lowry reflected on Brad Scheifele, Mark’s father, who died unexpectedly. He said he had seen him numerous times during the team’s fathers’ trips.

‘The energy that he had was unmatched,’ Lowry said. ‘His joy and excitement for life, he really passed that down on to Mark. I think his positivity, his outlook on life, just a genuinely happy person. A terrible loss, obviously.’

He added: ‘It’s tough to put into words how gutted we all feel for Mark and his family.’

Jets announce death of Mark Scheifele’s father

Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said Saturday afternoon that star forward Mark Scheifele’s father, Brad, died overnight.

‘As an organization, we’re doing everything we can to support him and give his family our most sincere condolences,’ he said.

He said coach Scott Arniel was heading to the team hotel to talk to Scheifele and would provide an update later.

Connor Hellebuyck statistics on the road

Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck is 0-5 on the road this postseason with a 5.84 goals-against average and a .793 save percentage. In his last game in Dallas, he gave up three goals on 24 shots. He had a shutout while at home in his last game.

Jets winless on road this postseason

The Jets lost all three road games in the first round against the St. Louis Blues with goalie Connor Hellebuyck being pulled in each game. They played better in Dallas in the second round but lost both of those games to drop to 0-5 on the road this postseason. Their road losing streak is nine games stretching back to 2023.

Antonio Brown was ‘temporarily detained’ by police Saturday after an altercation in which gunshots were fired outside at a celebrity boxing event in Miami, the former NFL star announced on social media.

Miami Police Department spokesperson Kiara Delva told the USA TODAY Sports Network that Miami Police received an alert from ShotSpotter — a gunshot detection system — at approximately 3 a.m. ET Saturday. They arrived at the location the system produced and discovered an event, hosted by popular streamer Adin Ross, was being held there.

The police then initiated an investigation, which ‘included canvassing the area and interviewing several individuals.’ Delva could not confirm the names of the individuals at the scene at the time of the incident. No injured persons were located, nor were any arrests made as a result of the investigation, which is ongoing.

Video posted to social media showed Brown involved in a fight with several people. The 36-year-old could be seen jogging as he exited a garage. Gunshots can be heard off-camera near the end of the footage.

Brown claimed he was ‘jumped by multiple individuals’ who attempted to steal jewelry from him.

‘Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me,’ Brown wrote on social media. ‘I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED.’

Brown did not mention the gunshots in his statement. He did say he would try to press charges ‘on the individuals that jumped [him].’

Brown also told Ross he couldn’t remember what had happened during the incident in a livestream shortly after it occurred.

‘Yeah I got CTE, I blacked out,’ Brown said. ‘I blacked out, Adin. I don’t know what happened.’

Brown last played in the NFL in 2021 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played a total of 12 NFL seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots and Buccaneers.

Scottie Scheffler finished the third round at the top of the leaderboard and with a chance to win his first PGA Championship.

Scheffler finished 11-under par and enters the final day of the event with a 3-shot lead over Alex Noren (-8). J.T. Poston (-7) and Davis Riley (-7) are tied for third.

Here are the highlights of Saturday’s third round:

DeChambeau is the sole leader

Bryson DeChambeau sinks a four-foot birdie at Hole 15, taking the sole lead at eight-under.

Jon Rahm smokes fan on Hole 11

Through 10 holes, Rahm had played pretty well this Saturday, sitting at -3 on the day and 5-under for the tournament. However, that stellar play didn’t stop him from experiencing a rather scary moment on Hole 11. Rahm’s approach shot went far left, and appeared destined for the rough. However, Rahm’s ball struck a fan, with the ball ricocheting off the fan’s head, across the green, and into the right side rough.

Thankfully, the fan was alright. Rahm gifted them an autographed glove as an apology. Rahm wound up with a bogey on the hole.

Si Woo Kim takes the lead

Si Woo Kim now leads the leaderboard after making a birdie on the fourth hole. He holds a one-shot lead at 7-under par.

PGA Championship predictions and picks

Experts made their picks ahead of the tournament:

NBC Sports: Bryson DeChambeau

Ryan Lavner writes, ‘Bryson DeChambeau. There’s no one on the planet – not Rory, not Scottie – who is driving the ball as well as DeChambeau is at the moment. And it’s difficult to conjure up a more perfect venue for him, a 7,600-yard behemoth that will play even longer after the heavy rain and place a premium on finding the fairways and avoiding the wet, dense rough. DeChambeau’s iron play continues to be a question mark – it’s the only reason he didn’t win the Masters last month – but his short game and putting remains tidy enough to give him a significant advantage. If he continues to drive the ball like he has for the past year-plus, this is a great opportunity for him to knock off major No. 3.’

BetMGM: Bryson DeChambeau

‘Including a near miss at Augusta National this past weekend, DeChambeau has now recorded four top-10s in his last five major championships. Over his last nine major championships, DeChambeau owns five top-10s and four top-5s. One such success came last year at Valhalla, the most correlative course to Quail Hollow, per datagolf.com.’

Gambling Nerd: Scottie Scheffler

‘Despite never winning the event, Scheffler has finished in the top 10 in four of his five PGA Championship appearances … Scheffler will solidify his standing at the top of the world rankings with a win at Quail Hollow Club this year.’

Newsweek: Rory McIlroy

‘Scheffler may lead the odds to win, but McIlroy’s track record at Quail Hollow can’t be overlooked. The Northern Irishman has won four of his 12 appearances in the Wells Fargo Championship (now the Truist Championship) there, to go with five other top 10s. Add to that the level of play he has displayed this season (three wins, one major).’

The NASCAR Cup Series takes over historic North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina on Sunday for the annual NASCAR All-Star Race.

Twenty-three drivers will race for a $1 million prize under the lights in prime time, with 20 qualifying automatically, two gaining entrances to the race through the All-Star Open and the final berth being awarded to the winner of the fan vote. This year’s All-Star Race will also be longer, going from 200 laps to 250 laps on the 0.625-mile track.

But before the drivers can tackle the All-Star Race, they had to compete in heat races on Saturday to set Sunday’s starting lineup. The heats also allowed drivers to get a feel for racing conditions on the short track. Brad Keselowski was fastest in qualifying and won the first of two heat races to lock up the pole position for Sunday’s race. Christopher Bell won the second heat race and will start on the outside of the front row.

The All-Star Open will precede the All-Star Race on Sunday, giving fans two events on Sunday to get their motors revved. Here’s all the information you need to get ready for the 2025 NASCAR All-Star Race and All-Star Open:
