The 2012 Sprint NASCAR All-Star Race took place on Saturday night in Charlotte. The race had no bearing on the 2012 Sprint Cup Series standings, but was a fun exhibition race and a good chance to have the various fan-favorite drivers really cut loose. There was plenty of cash for the winner, however.
Jimmie Johnson won the All-Star Race for the third time, taking home the check for $1 million.
Overall points leader and Washington native Greg Biffle didn't seem too interested in exerting himself in a non-points race, hanging towards the back and being content to let everyone else duke it out. Biffle finished second to last, with only Carl Edwards coming in behind him.
Fellow Washingtonian Kasey Kahne took things a bit more seriously, finishing in ninth place.
