Back to back weeks of really dumb schedule decisions. This track better get its points race back next year.

Hockey figured it out with the Four Nations.
The NASCAR All Star Race should be held at Bowman Gray Stadium.
I'm not a hockey fan so I will take our word but I was referring to the NFL/MLB/NBA/NASCAR

The NFL Pro Bowl is the worst all star event in all of sports.
Moving the NASCAR All Star Race to Dover and making it 350 laps was ... a choice.

Whoever posted earlier about money being left on the table, needs to look at this tweet. Cup All Star purse $3.1 million for the entire field. Purses for points races start about $12 million and some races are much higher. I would venture to guess that one Cup team will be profitable this weekend, i.e. the winning team that pulls in the $1 million winners share.

I can't see how it's even worth it show up with a truck for that money
Show up money and a little more if you finish higher.
I assume chartered teams are required to run.

Cup cars should never run at a track shorter than a 1/2 mile.
I won't go quite that far when we're discussing a non-points race (that I'm not likely to watch anyway). For points racing, Cup cars should never race on a track that can't accommodate a full field of 36+ cars all on the track at the same time, or that can't support green flag pit stops.
That's not an all-star GAME, it's a complete tournament.
Q: how did the NHL handle participation of star players that weren't from one of the four participating countries? Were they just left out entirely?
Oh man, just let that nonsense lie. Put it in the comparison to stick n ball B.S. file and be done with it.

The winner has received 1 million since 2003. The 2003 equivalent today is a little more than 1/2 million. I wonder how much more the team expenses are today compared to over 20 years ago?
Larson fastest in practice.
Are the Shivvys still at a disadvantage or did NASCA$H change summing for them this weekend?
Stenhouse gets a standing ovation for his Jimmie Johnson rendition during the pit crew challenge qualifying.
Maybe THEY will send you a plastic participation trophy.

I have affection for this track, cool layout. It’s like if Bristol hit the gym and took concrete supplements

Trying to make heads or tails out of this new format has my head spinning. A 26 car invert??? Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't that just invite sandbagging with the guys up front to get to the back? Seems like another unnecessary gimick by Nascar.
