If he kept his license as a driver, how can they refuse?I'm not sure, but apparently Tony Stewart requested entry as a driver, and NASCAR ignored him
The criteria for entry is based on 2020 season accomplishments. Tony is just whining again.I'm not sure, but apparently Tony Stewart requested entry as a driver, and NASCAR ignored him
Wouldn't it have been easier to just say "Everybody but Spire and RWR."?The criteria for entry is based on 2020 season accomplishments. Tony is just whining again.

According to Tony.I'm not sure, but apparently Tony Stewart requested entry as a driver, and NASCAR ignored him
They pretty much did that with Jr and DanicaI probably would’ve just said screw the rules and let Tony race, but that’s just me lol.

So business as usual then?Tony is just whining again
I suspect if this race was being run on the oval as a pack race, Tony wouldn't have been interested.I'm not sure, but apparently Tony Stewart requested entry as a driver, and NASCAR ignored him
Notice the positions of the commas and semicolons.The eligibility requirements include: 2020 Busch Pole Award winners; "past Busch Clash winners", Daytona 500 race winners, and Daytona 500 pole winners who ran full time in 2020; 2020 NASCAR Cup Series playoff drivers; 2020 NASCAR Cup Series race winners; and 2020 NASCAR Cup Series stage winners.
Stewart won a Busch Clash in 2001
Here is how it was written originally, I had highlighted the "past Busch clash winners" Seems to me it would have said winner singular for what you are saying. There is an s after winner.Notice the positions of the commas and semicolons.
"2020 Busch Pole Award winners; past Busch Clash winners, Daytona 500 race winners, and Daytona 500 pole winners who ran full time in 2020; "
"... who ran full time in 2020;" applies to the three comma-separated clauses that precede it.
Yep. Noticed how semicolons separate "2020 Busch Pole Award winners;" from "past Busch Clash winners, Daytona 500 race winners, and Daytona 500 pole winners who ran full time in 2020;" from "2020 NASCAR Cup Series playoff drivers;",The eligibility requirements include: 2020 Busch Pole Award winners; past Busch Clash winners, Daytona 500 race winners, and Daytona 500 pole winners who ran full time in 2020; 2020 NASCAR Cup Series playoff drivers; 2020 NASCAR Cup Series race winners; and 2020 NASCAR Cup Series stage winners.

Also notice how there are commas, not semicolons between " past Busch Clash winners, Daytona 500 race winners, and Daytona 500 pole winners who ran full time in 2020;"
" ...who ran full time in 2020;" applies to each individual clause in "... past Busch Clash winners, Daytona 500 race winners, and Daytona 500 pole winners ...".
Tony isn't a past Clash winner who ran full time in 2020, so he's not eligible.
If you're going down that path, you might as well assume Dale would have been active in 2020 and have been eligible without having to ask.Truth be told tho, and I say this as a fan of Dale Jr. if he wanted to race it, they very likely would bend the rules for him and allow it.

yeah it wouldn't matter what the rules are, Nascar already had a rule made so Jr. could run the All Star races as long as he was in the series. It's bad business to keep any past champion or retired driver for that matter out of the series for a race that isn't for points IMO. This really looks petty to me about Stewart, but you never know what Stewart might have said eitherTruth be told tho, and I say this as a fan of Dale Jr. if he wanted to race it, they very likely would bend the rules for him and allow it.

Indeed, you assume Dale in 2021 would have been interested. His option to limit his participation in recent years says otherwise. As I noted, I think the only reason Tony is interested in 2021 is because the road course will be used. He hasn't asked about running this race since his retirement.
This was written for the 2019 race. Much clearer, better writtenI'm just clarifying the rule; I'm not justifying its necessity, or the lack thereof.
I'm not a fan of exhibition races in the first place, either this one or the so-called "All-Star". If it was my call, this race wouldn't exist for Tony to ask about.
The 2019 version is also better in that it doesn't include the previous season's stage winners. That pretty much lets in everyone except Brendan Gaughan and most of the hauler drivers.This was written for the 2019 race. Much clearer, better written
The Clash is limited to drivers who were 2018 Busch Pole Award winners, former Clash winners who competed fulltime in 2018, former Daytona 500 champions who competed fulltime in 2018, former Daytona 500 pole winners who competed fulltime in 2018 and drivers who qualified for the 2018 Cup Series playoffs.
That is the good part of controversal stages, the mini races that sometimes occur for that win. Does the good outweigh the bad?The 2019 version is also better in that it doesn't include the previous season's stage winners.

It should become the all-star race IMO. Allow everyone to participate including retired drivers, but have 10 lap qualifying/elimination races prior to the main event. Plus a longer clash means more air time for us to get used to the new drivers, sponsors, teams, etcHonestly tho. It’s an exhibition race. I say screw it still. Not like it truly matters or anything.
I’d love if they did an exhibition race, and had some rules like that, but also opened it up to retired racers.

I understand each individual word; it's the 'good part of ... stages' that doesn't make any sense.That is the good part of controversial stages,...
There are more than one component to the stages if that helps. There are points that a driver can race for, a pit stop that teams can use for strategy. Fans get to watch rarely but yeah get to watch some hard racing for stage wins that before the stages, the middle of the race mostly was drivers playing follow the leader under the old way. I'm sure you can fill in the rest of the blanks with what really twists some racing fans off, ya know gets their goat at full bleep.I understand each individual word; it's the 'good part of ... stages' that doesn't make any sense.![]()

Ah, I didn't make myself clear again. The snarky comment was intended to convey my opinion that there's =nothing= good about stages.

Is there an echo in here?"Past Busch Clash winners, Daytona 500 race winners, and Daytona 500 pole winners who ran full time in 2020"
Notice the commas, they all fall under the "ran full time in 2020" requirement.

Day race.Remind me, was the r/c race last year run after dark? I recall from the Rolex that much of the infield isn't lit.
They have more lights, they leave it fairly dark on purpose for the Rolex 24Remind me, was the r/c race last year run after dark? I recall from the Rolex that much of the infield isn't lit.
Sports cars also have headlights.Remind me, was the r/c race last year run after dark? I recall from the Rolex that much of the infield isn't lit.
