The "all star" event in other sports has waned for several years. Even the most successful sport in the US, the NFL, has a big problem with their so called all star game. The MLB has something that helps with the winner getting home team advantage in the World Series, but that doesn't seem to help all that much. I won't even go into the NBA all star game. NASCAR has a chance to really shine with this event and they keep trying. Maybe one day they will hit on something that everyone will like. Just remember one huge thing, the sponsors have the biggest say so, unlike other sports.
