All-Star Open Highlights:

The start of the 17-lap shootout.

The DEI trio battle for position early on.

Ryan Newman pulls ahead on lap 4...

...but he wouldn't stay there for long.

We had good racing throughout the 17 laps that were run (which makes you wonder what will be in store for the 34-lap main event).

Harry Gant goes down heartbreak alley after cutting a tire...just before the white flag...while in the top 5.

Jimmie Johnson takes the checkered flag to advance into the main event, along with Elliott Sadler, Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, and Denny Hamlin.

17 drivers, 26 laps, 1 million dollars on the line. These words described the inaugural Coca-Cola All-Star Challenge, where 17 drivers put on a show for 26 laps, and one driver went home with 1 million dollars.

The highlight reel:

The hunt for the million begins!

Bobby Labonte pulls ahead on lap 3...

...but 4 laps later, he's at the rear of the field wondering, "What went wrong??"

The top 4 pull away on lap 10...

...but the rest of the field catches up before long.

Except Kevin Harvick and Bobby Labonte, who spent the rest of the race battling each other for...not last place I guess you could say.

Mark Martin leads coming out of the final turn! Can he claim the million?

Oh yes he can! Mark Martin is your Coca-Cola All-Star Challenge champion!
