As races go, they don’t get more paradoxical than Saturday night’s All-Star Race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway...

Dale Jarrett,is the epitomy of class, determination, honor that is somehow not shown in today's helmet throwing, trash talking younger set of driver's. They could all take lesssons from him and his father. Good Luck golfing!!!!!!!!!!!

Expecting NASCAR's version of an NFL/NHL/NBA all-star game to be anything but the same lame joke perpetrated on gullible fans just shows that somebody hasn't been paying attention.
The only difference is that a new jock-strap and an all-star jersey are a lot less expensive than wrecked cars and blown engines. The race means nothing and the the drivers know it.
The only way we fans have of knowing how hard they are trying is by the bent sheet metal at the end. If there isn't much of that, what does that tell you?
