When Davey woke up in the hospital, he asked who won the race. He didn't know.

I miss Kulwicki, Allison, Earnhardt and Bonnett.All great drivers and personalities that are sorely missed in the sport.

I remember when the all star races used to have the "Plinko" game that would randomly determine the final dash starts or when they would ask the fans if they wanted to invert the field. (which they always did lol)

Now NASCAR has to create all kind of crazy scenarios to create excitement. Sadly the current state of the cars just don't create that exciting racing in this event as they used to. I wish they would open up the rules book and let the teams create special, one off cars for the event as it's a non points race.

So, from what I gather, it may be a smart move to head to the pits for a 4 tire stop right at about lap 48 of the 2nd segment so you would be on fresh tires, but still be ahead of the cars that had to pit.

A little I guess, was top 2 but got a penalty in segment one for jumping the restart which was a 50/50 call. Raced all the way up and finished 3rd in final segment(as Elliot and Larson were door to door ramming into each other to the finish line). I guess you can say the fans screwed him.
