NASCAR All Star race was a trainwreck

I thought the NASCAR All Star race was a trainwreck. My latest Speedway Report on what I thought was embarrassing for the sport.

Sadly Billy, I don't think the suits at Daytona are even trying to bring it back to what it once was. Instead of promoting what makes it unique they are trying to force it to be like all other sports.

Well said, BB! This year's "All-Star" event perfectly represents all that's wrong with NASCAR.....constantly, and ironically, portraying itself as a cutting-edge technology company.......or at least with partners who are. After all, they DID mandate EFI, American Ethanol, the Air-Titan, and Digital Dashboards. So, in the aftermath of the mother-of-all Goat Rodeo "All-Star" event, the official scape-GOAT: a scenario that was not run or was not anticipated.......Holy-Moly! But, that was no more than a canned response. Like you said, the reason is the constant monkeying and manipulating of the event. NASCAR is apparently convinced their own product will not survive on its own merit.

I didn't bother to watch this year's event. Even we once die hard racers can only take so much.

Me too, Dave. I was at the local dirt track......easily following the local action, timing, scoring, everything...on my phone via www.racemonitor.com.......at Dublin, NC!! High tech has come to the backwoods.....unlike NASCAR LOL!
