+1 for the tent

I'm thinking that the guys that have to race their way in to the all star race will start on the green tires, they have to start in the back anyway.

Brings back memories --- no speed limit on pit road. Crazy.

 

[StandOnIt]

fun to watch, I'm glad they do it.

 

[lisa]

How the heck do they do this??????

They used to do it ALL the time. Think of the courage it took for the pit crews to jump out in front of the cars back in the day.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

That was a crazy save by Ryan Newman. ROTFL

 

[FLRacingFan]

This is awesome.

I adore Kurt but noooo way would I jump out in front of him.


Dang it, I thought he had 1st.

 

[StandOnIt]

Good bunch in the top 5.

 

[Fordracing7]

I love the 31 paint schemes for the all star race! I love that the crew is half cat and half Grainger. That's so cool.

 

[Reck]

Why does the all star race quals need a second round for?

I doubt that even Brian France knows. LOL
Entertainment, I guess.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Dale Jr. did a periscope after q'ing. He liked the hard tires, but the soft tires changed the balance of the car.

 

[StandOnIt]

Johnson stunk that one up

 

[FLRacingFan]

Jimmie in there way hot.

 

[lisa]

ahhhhhh man.

 

[StandOnIt]

dang it for Kurt 2 loose ones

 

[2 Sweet]

dang it for Kurt 2 loose ones

Such a stupid rule. I don't understand NASCAR's hard on for the lugnut BS

 

[StandOnIt]

I hate it when it goes against one of my favorites, but watching the Nascar pitstop one at a time tonight is pretty awesome compared to all of the others.

 

[jws926]

My favorite part of All Star weekend, the qualifying , and watching the drivers practice for it .

 

[SeventyGTX]

Why does the all star race quals need a second round for?

No doubt Harvick is asking that same question.

 

[Michfan]

I can make a meme as well see

If they weren't responsible for holding the wheels on, they wouldn't be important

 

[Pat]

3 whole hours...

 

[Greg]

Those tires are matched perfect and staggered special

Except for the Kyle Busch set.

 

[R Clarence]

Except for the Kyle Busch set.

Yeah 'n them's cheated up.

[Kiante]

Oh muh Jesus.

 

[LewTheShoe]

It is interesting that 11 second pit stops are the competitive norm during the races, but yesterday during qualifying, there was only one such stop (Kyle Larson 11.9 seconds). Is this because teams knew lug nuts would be checked? Or different timing procedures for yesterday's broadcast?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Wtf

They couldn't go over the wall until the car was stopped. I'm sure that was a factor.

That's what they were saying in the booth. They said that overall a 13 second stop was a really good one.

They didn't want anyone over the wall because the cars were coming in hot.

Yep. Not like in the old day's, no speed limit, no helmets and mostly blue jeans and T-shirts instead of fire-suits for the over-the-wall bunch. Not me for sure.

Duh... my comment was really pretty stupid I guess.
