Nascar All-Star Race

[GA_Boater]

Restart on lap 6 and Harvick gets around Stenhouse for the lead.

Harvick wins the first heat with a .5 second lead over Truex.

The "Pure Talent" Twerp wins the 2nd heat.

Another 20 lap heat coming up.

 

[GA_Boater]

Truex leading heat 3 on lap 6 and Kahne hits the wall to bring out the yellow.

 

[GA_Boater]

2 laps left in heat 3 and Bowman hits the wall. Overtime finish coming for the 3rd heat, then a 10 lap shootout for the million.

 

[GA_Boater]

Truex, Busch41, Keso, Bowyer and The "Pure Talent: Twerp all tangle.

Not sure if the restart line was crossed or if Heat 3 continues with OT #2.

 

[GA_Boater]

OT again for the 3rd heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

Green again for 2 laps and on final lap Harvick gets around the outside for the win.

Time for the 10 (or more) lap shootout for the cash.

 

[GA_Boater]

4th heat underway with Harvick in front.

 

[GA_Boater]

2 to go and the race is RED. Joey bounces off the wall into Larson and Larson slides through the grass.

 

[GA_Boater]

Happy Harvick is a million bucks happier with the All-Star win.

With the experimental restrictor plate and aero changes causing carnage - Watch these changes be used next year! We need more cash to buy Nascar! :wink:

I have to admit...
That was one of the better races I've seen in a while...
Still don't like the "Stages", but I think this Aero package and plate they used for THIS race, helped make it a bit more "Edge of your seat" than a lot of other recent races...

It's another week... Might scrounge up another 10 bucks returning cans to add to the iCup fund!

I don't get this stage racing. I don't like it, bathroom breaks? Now race fans won't wonder how drivers can hold it all race long. Takes the mystery out of auto racing. I don't think it was broken so why fix it? As huge drops in viewership shows it appears casual race fans like me don't like it either.
