The way this race is set up the winner is any ones guess., I imagine that's the way NASCAR wants it to be-Probably so there is parody and anyone who gets qualified can win it. To me it's a mess---a gumbo soup.

 

[Juneau4]

I'm going to pick Blaney for the win and say Logano gets wrecked - just some payback and what a better race to do it in with little or no NASCAR repercussions.

i'm thinking jeff gordon will wear a fire suit to the pit box of the 24. byron taps logano but saves the car. byron comes on the radio and says when i pit i'm coming out of the car because i don't feel good. gordon jumps in and wins the all star race.
not that i think they have scripts for races like wwe and they know who they'd like to win.

Myself, I could give a about this race......

i think the guy that invented the one lug tire for nascar thought up the drag race qualifier fiasco.
that was brutal to watch.

I didn't even bother watching it..... Just more gimmick crap from Nascar... JMO...

We plan on binge watching "1883" today instead of watching this race.....
Heard from many friends that the show was great.......

It seems like we have seen more teams lose wheels with one lug nut than we did with multiple lug nuts

NASCAR should probably take a look at the Indy car wheels and see how they're doing it. They don't seem to have that problem.

 

[beervo2]

Well. I didn't watch any of that race but, from what I see on Twitter it was another show??

Even Dale Jr tweeted watching it was like eating "rice cakes"....

Stage 1 was about as fun as a rice cake.

Was the All-Star Race a good race? 11% of you said Yes.

That ranks No. 239 out of 239 races polled (previous low: 2016 Brickyard 400, 17%).

Tell me something why would you waste your time and money going to any track to watch a show? Now if NASCAR really cared to put out a quality show for the fans who worked their butts off to try to make a living in this day and time with high gas prices inflation and everything else.! Maybe their ratings wouldn't be in the toilet and you'd actually have closer to a full grandstands around the track but this ain't going to happen because NASCAR is just too stupid and don't really care about the fans or putting out a quality show.! It's all about gimmicks.! And hoping something sticks.! This car is bad enough but with a low profile tires it's an absolute joke they need to do something but they probably won't.!?

I totally agree, Nascar could give me free tickets to a race and right now, I wouldn't waste my time going.... It seems for some reason they just can't get their together.....

nascar will be doing the UFC model someday.
a bunch of the ufc matches are done at their "annex" which basically has no fans and just fighters entourages.
possibly someday nascar won't care if fans are in the stands as long as they can televise it.
but since most of the ufc fights end up on espn+. nascar will go to a "pay us" to watch the races model.
not sure many of us will pay streaming fees to watch races unless it's one that you pay for other sports already like espn+ or peacock.
