I'm encouraged that the sport is bringing guys like them into the mix. There is a lot of older talent that is hard to replace.

I understand that the All Star format is different this year, but like most things NASCAR, the "huge changes" are usually difficult to discern unless one is really embedded in the rules, etc.

Summary?

Do the fastest cars have to start at the back or did I hear that wrong?

I used to love this race. Special paint schemes and checkers or wreckers finishes.


Like everything over the last 10 years, NASCAR has tried to make it more "showtime" appealing rather than just flat out hard, winner take all racing.


Flip the field, fan vote mulligans, WTF?




Just drop the damn flag and get out of the way and let the boys on the track decide who wins.

NASCAR has lost its luster from 15-20 years ago. The crowds are dwindling at sn alarming rate. Not sure why except a lot of the big names no longer race and from what I understand it's expensive as hell.
