The All-Star Race: Brawls, Repaves, and 800-Lap Practice

[@sapphirekennedy]

I have the $5 Peacock and not gonna lie, I LOVE that I know where IndyCar is all the time and that I can watch it on demand whenever I want. It’s totally worth 5 bucks to me. The problem is NASCAR will never just be on one network , like Indy and F1

My favorite Sam Ard quote is from the race at Road Atlanta. "I went a few corners and got lost". I worked for the racing fuel provider at the track and I found Sam to be the nicest and most genuinley talented racer I had ever met. I offered to ride with him and help with the track layout and he said, "I'll figure it out". Just a real nice guy, in my opinion.

Butterbean is gonna be one of the last working class drivers to get there on Sundays. NASCAR fans can't relate to silver spoon trustfund kids. We grew to it cause half of the field reminded us of our neighbor or local track hero. Now who wants to cheer for a kid who has never worked a day in their life?

[@chriswilgus4752]

Kyle larson came in from no practice,and went from last to 3rd so, explain that. The excuse of "i cant pass" is a b.s. story.

[@danielsoutherd]

I also don’t understand why complained that Harvick’s set up was so bad. I’m a huge Larson fan, so I’m just curious how you gain 23 spots.

[@Kbrady8207]

24 had the penalty during qualifying. Otherwise he would have started top 5. 24 drove up on the hard tires then hit the wall. 54 won the open easily. 22 won the race easily. So yes the test helped. And this is from a 24 fan.

[@jamesince5976]

Softer tires is not the answer for an option tire. Back in the day(1990’s) I ran a set of soaked tires at Darlington which was the most abrasive track on the circuit by far. They were the exact same tires soaked 30 duromator points softer than the untouched tires. They were seven tenths a lap faster than the un soaked tires for 70 laps and the wear was about 50% better because they were gripping the track and not being cheese grated like the stock tire. Bristol was a fluke. Construction of the tire is what would make a better option tire. Back in that day that would be a stiffer sidewall but these tires don’t have a sidewall. But then again I don’t know much about that racing stuff…

[@cseabrook3]

No one ever said you didn’t 😂. What an unneeded part to a great comment

[@FUELBandicoot]

The reason it was so close for Larson getting to North Wilkesboro after Indy 500 qualifying is not because of IndyCar’s qualifying format… it’s because NASCAR has since scheduled the All Star race to be on Sunday when it use to be Saturday.

[@therealeddo]

RE: Phoenix as championship race. It was mentioned a couple times that the last buncha races there have been a "sell out." There is no quantifiable measure as to what qualifies as a "sell out." No percentage of butts in seats, no percentage of seats sold, no number of people through the gates. The promoter can call whatever they want a "sell out." Having said that, the racing at Phoenix is quite often better than what the tv shows.

The time of the schedule keeps getting shorter. I remember when the Final Race was the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I also remember when the Super Bowl was in January. NFL needs to just start earlier rather than take my Holiday Monday for themselves. Just like the "Stupid" Bowl used to start before 6pm EST. 6 hours of people running around for a game that takes 15-20 minutes to play

[@johnhaas2523]

NFL isn't going to start any sooner

[@joeystultz]

I vote that they faked the fight. From when he gave up, went to the pits, parked in Kyle’s spot…I was saying suspicious. Then during the fight, it was well lit, they were elevated where you could see. The lines for the trailer doors made it look like a boxing ring. Oh and Ricky’s comments sounded rehearsed

[@jesselund360]

Old Phoenix was better. The new configuration might be better than it is if they weren't allowed to cut the track between turn 4 and turn 1. NFL has a totally different system, can't compare multiple local games to one event. Smart consumers are starting to get tired of everything being a subscription.

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

Should of had SVG practice the #5, so if for some reason Larson couldn't make it back in time SVG qualified for the All-star race already(Chicago win)and the #5 would have been in regardless

[@WilliamWallaceRoss]

Harvick said during the Pre-Race that since it isn't a points race and 1 million is on the line, well, you might take someone out. Kyle is probably wishing he wasn't under contract with Childress and could go to Hendrick again. I'm sorry, but, RCR sucks!!!

[@JBAlternate]

The repave was a highlight in terms of seeing multiple lanes work. But it probably didn't help wear tires as much as they might have wanted with the rougher surface. Goodyear unfortunately brought tires that didn't wear well under last night's conditions, although I do wonder if they'd work better on a warm day at any other track.

[@teranceparker4728]

There is a reason why the All-star race is dying right out of our eyes because NASCAR doesn't care about traditional events like Charlotte and Daytona in the past because they are so greedy they want to see brawls and suspended some team members and no pack racing at most places to show the next gen car it's doing it's job and make better racing and not complain as much. The All-star race will not come back at all until the jerks stop changing place to place and just go back to the old days. FUCK the whole week and cancel the Clash if it doesn't get back to Daytona and returning the Speedweeks in February or just what until the Daytona 500 in February.😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@imonstershotz3540]

Joey earned the pole with a whole team effort over just running a "fast lap" as the all star qualifying is a different animal. Then the pit crew had to execute during the race to keep him up front along with him holding the lead behind the wheel. Also had to execute the restarts to stay in the lead. 22 team put a whupping on the field and that's what it is! They just had a flawless weekend from start to finish!

I remember when Denny went to Talk to Joey at Martinsville, and one of Joey's guys horse collared Denny for no reason, that guy should have been banned from the sport. Only security, NASCAR officials or police should be putting their hands on drivers.
