I'm most impressed with Ryan Blarney and Chase Elliot. A Dillon


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?

There are three segments in this year's Sprint All-Star Race -- a 50-lap opening segment, a 50-lap second segment and a 13-lap final dash to the finish with a unique rule.

For the first time in the event's history, the starting order for the final segment will be determined following a random draw that decides if the top running nine, 10 or 11 cars have to pit for a mandatory four-tire stop between Segment 2 and Segment 3. Pit road will be closed for all other cars, and those for which pit stops were mandated must resume position for the final sprint, lining up behind the cars that did not pit -- creating an unpredictable, no-holds-barred rush to the checkered flag and All-Star history.
