Thousands of people were at the charlotte motor speedway this morning for the nascar all-star race.

Fans we spoke with say it's one of their favorites because it's a no holds barred race where racers compete for the top prize of a million dollars.

Race officials want to use that excitement to make this race an event.

The speedway says every year it tries to increase options in the fan zone outside the main entrance.

There is a children's area, interactive events with car companies, motorcross bike shows and concerts.

"Part of what we try to do every year is put on a show even before you get to the race itself, where you feel I really got my money's worth," said 

Eyes will continue to stay on the speedway for the next week as the all star race is really just the warm up act for next weekend's Coca-Cola 600.
