What are the names of the NASCAR non point races?

Answer 1

• (February)- Budweiser Shootout (Daytona- Saturday night)
• (February)- Gatorade Duel 150's (Daytona- Thursday) 2 qualifying races for the Daytona 500
• (May)- Sprint Showdown (Charlotte- Saturday night)
• (May)- Sprint All-Star Race (Charlotte- Saturday night following the Sprint Showdown)

Answer 2

They are just exhibition races. The drivers make bonus money and have fun without the pressure of points racing. There are 3 non point races during the season, the Budweiser Shootout in February, the All-Star race in May and the Sprint Showdown, which is just hours before the All-Star race, the winner and runner up qualify for the All-Star race. The only other important non point races are the Gatorade Duels. Those 2 February races determine the qualifying positions for the Daytona 500.
