Blow The Whole Thing Up | NASCAR All-Star Race Review & Analysis 

That's when we knew.......NASCAR f*cked up

I love it when Mike Joy chooses violence, like when he said after Regan Smith's win at Darlington "Smith gets the flag! And this time, he gets to keep it!"

@@patrickracer43 yeah seeing Mike Joy mad is honestly a sight to see

In the booth they tried as best they could to keep the show rolling… but all three of them were just floored. Between the worst racing we’ve seen with the next gen and the preposterous ending…

@@nurabsal0x018c that was one of the worst calls in the history of the sport, probably right up there with NASCAR black flagging Ricky Rudd for putting the bumper to Davey Allison at Sonoma

amen chicagoland is my home nascar track since I'm from illinois and i think it provided great racing especially in the 2010s decade

Chicago, Kentucky, Nashville Fairgrounds, etc.

Very underrated track yes I agree

If bruton Smith could have bought Chicagoland speedway , they would still be racing there. It's all about which rich guy screams the loudest. Soo , how's that going Nascar 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️😁😎

I hate Texas but remember when everyone was begging for 1.5 mile tracks to be off the schedule?

I think they wanted a better finish, but Scott Miller even admitted they screwed up.

The whole race was screwed up. I like excitement in the race but when leaders start blowing tires it's messed up.

i don't think they were trying to screw Blaney. they were trying to make a more exiting finish

Blaney had the best car in the end but should have been penalized. Totally a safety isssue. What a crap show NASCAR has become.

@@ethanweeter2732 they had a bit of a Michael Masi moment (yeah different reasons on how it happened in different sports but it involves a yellow being thrown late race that could alter the finish all in the name of Entertainment)

I think nascar was giving him a break because they just screwed him so they didn’t want to make it worse for him

@@southeastcupseries if they truly wanted to do that they could have black flagged him and let him keep his position

@@southeastcupseries That's literally what I said.

He put it up it was not down

The Fox booth was livid and if that wasn’t fixing the race I don’t know what was. NASCAR showed us they have no credibility or integrity.

The new tires are a problem, too many flats and the problem is worse with out inner liners.

Eric can't talk bad about Goodyear though since they're a sponsor of his

As this is my home track not a option repave like Atlanta or take back to old configuration but please no all star race but I would be ok with one event

I'll be the first to sign

Bring back Texas World speedway

@@brandonmccain4031 Ok? It doesn't change anything lol

And also to remove Blake Shelton from all future broadcasts

My thoughts exactly, why change a working, well-like track (Auto Club), when you can change Texas (most loathed of all tracks).

They should've run TMS's front stretch quarter mile. I saw someone suggest that in February and thought it was a better alternative. But they also need to stop with the complicated formats.

@@sethbomgardner9030 They should still turn Auto Club into a short track, the good race we saw this year isn't sustainable

if they go to bowman grey, alex bowman will need to win a race there

I did find that more exciting than this race too!

Jimmie's save was the best thing I saw all weekend, that was sick!

@@ARM317 You beat me to the punch. Damn that was awesome. And Romain's face when he saw it

@@lewiskemp5893 ha ha ha...Grosjean was like "WWHHHAAAAATTTTTTT..." That was classic!

That movie hurt NASCAR more than it helped

@@marcforget33 Just like Bowyer and Michael Waltrip every race and pre-race show. FOX makes NASCAR look like a joke!

Nah, Cole Trickle from Days of Thunder hurt NASCAR more than Rickie Boobie ever did!

I did, but they did not have to throw the yellow as the rule is green flag finish only.

Neither did the 12 team

Dirt racing is hotter maybe than anything.

The Spanish GP was really good for a track that’s usually not great.

@@andrewfiorini8169 however Barcelona might not be hosting the Spanish GP for much longer as Jerez (where MotoGP races) is getting some upgrades to get up to F1 standards with the ultimate goal of Jerez hosting the Spanish GP or the European GP in a few years.

Not really because Formula 1 is a totally different formula and a world wide format. The average American sports fan has no interest in world sports unless its the olympics.

Tbf Bell was sideways and after what happened to Chastain, I don’t mind them being a little quicker to the caution button there

Well said. Blaney almost got screwed last night. I couldn't even enjoy his win as much as I should, since I was so pissed over what could have happened.

If it were Darlington they would have 500 cautions.

Yeah they throw the caution for a little scrap on the wall... If that's the case why didn't they throw the caution for Larson hitting the wall...What about 5 times last week?

@@serenap.1041 best I can figure nascar was trying to make an “exciting” ending instead of first place having a 2 second lead on second for the win. Almost robbed Blaney. This is the kind of stuff that loses fans. Feels like the race is rigged so they can get a particular outcome.

@Thomas 🇺🇸 Austin cindric is a jerk

@Thomas 🇺🇸 I mean I can’t blame blaney for being generally upset with cindric. Blaney would have won the Daytona 500 if cindric hadn’t put him in the wall

@Thomas 🇺🇸 Austin is not an amazing teammate and he is one of the most selfish drivers out there

@Thomas 🇺🇸 you contracted yourself with your first sentence. You are a hypocrite and a fraud

@Thomas 🇺🇸 So he's friends with Bubba? Gotta problem with that you klan wizard?

I think it should have been halfway on pit road, so the No speed limit came into effect before hitting the track.

I don't know about the jump. Yeah, maybe where the driver completely screws up, but for the most part I don't think that made as much of a difference as the pit stop itself. There was no hype and no competition. I think there has to be a component where the driver has to come to a stop into the box from full speed. Obviously you can't do that with the pit crew there. I think you make the drivers launch off the line, complete a lap around the track, stop onto a pit box full speed, then continue at pit road speed to the crew box, then do the stop. That still doesn't solve the problem of whoever gets on track first will pretty much win.

Maybe if they do it at charlotte they can do it at the drag way

Just take away the pit stop part let them actually drag race then make a pit stop competition a separate part of weekend to qualify for the drag race qualifying or something

It was all about the pit crews and that was the point

Agreed, but Knoxville is on June 18th, if it's anywhere close to last year's debacle, those maniacs will be crashing all over the place!

True! The Truck race was surprisingly good. I think the new bodies fit the track better. For example, at Michigan the Truck Series normally puts on the best race of the weekend as well.

That truck race actually felt more like a race than the usual demolition derby we usually get!

Couldn’t agree more! I used to always look forward to the All-Star race! Loved all the cool, different, unique paint schemes! Whatever happened to that?! It was a small little detail but still something to look forward to. Now the entire race start to finish has become a joke. Unfortunately.

Yea what was wrong with charlotte. Thats the home of all of the teams anyway.

Its the only race I can watch. From goofy looking cars cause of the new number placement, purposely having the slowest speeds since like the early 70's. This sport is a joke. I was a diehard Jeff Gordon fan but once he retired NASCAR is completely unwatchable. Eric Esteep I the only reason I even know what's happening because his videos are so good and can't miss 👍

Bristol Dirt. That date it currently occupies could be awarded to the Nashville Fairgrounds. It would effectively be a Texas for Nashville deal. Stuff the municipal agreement!

TMS has a dirt track lol

better yet, reduce the banking and bring it back to its old CART Indycar status when TWS was alive

@@Bitterman5868 You’re insane. It was high banked to begin with. The low banking is what’s killing the track.

@@matthunter4868 I’m saying give that to Texas dirt

Not really. The stadium concept would work better

@@eggselent9814 Agreed! Stadium Concept is the best we can hope for. Worked well at the Colosseum. Charlotte would end up being just as bad if not marginally better than Texas was.

I noticed

I thought The Clash was The All-Star race.

@@FrankEPotts Clash is beginning of the season

🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Not to mention completely screwing up the ending with an itchy trigger finger on a caution (that was wholly unneeded), extending the caution time to give a driver time to fix his mistake due to your mistake, and blatantly ignoring a huge safety violation.

More nascar logic. People didn't like the race at Texas, it needs moved. Let's move it to pocono

They need to do the Atlanta.

@@DC322 Keep Atlanta. Atlanta is better now.

@@averyalford2400 I mean TMS needs to do the Atlanta route. Repave and put more banking on it.

@@DC322 Or put back the 24 degree banking in turns one and two.

How about repaving it and reconfiguring turn 1-2 with 20-22 degrees progressive banking?

I can not believe you watch pro BB..they are a bunch of woke terds not Worth watching sad!!

Martinsvilles worst show says hi

You're not the only one Ryan. Nascar has become a giant joke

I was watching something else and saw the online replies so I watched the recap. Total clown show.

I have officially quit to.The Daytona 500 was the last race I watched this year and honestly I feel like im not missing much at all.Nascar is a hot mess and a total joke now.

Drivers need to take care of their tires better

@@austinraley6004 when your driver blows a tire after 25 laps, you'll change your tone.

@@austinraley6004 I don't wanna see the drivers go 30-50 mph slower just because of some poorly made tires. This was never an issue with the Gen 6 tires, so it's not even the driver's fault. Goodyear made a bad change and they need to fix it.

@@wesleyem3 Then what’s the solution?

@@ghettostreamlabs5724 My favorite driver is Kyle Busch

IDK, there's too much emphasis on current results. Once you repave Atlanta, it will still be years of bad racing before it starts to wear. No one has patience for that. To be fair, with the focus and reliance on I-Racing both tracks should/could have been modeled using the software and the track that made the most sense be reconfigured. I think the bigger anger inducing change is that they are/were planning on renovating Auto Club from a 2 mile track to a half mile track, which was a favorite among drivers and fans and there was great racing this year with the Next gen Car. I love short tracks as much as the next guy but demolishing/renovating a beloved(ish) track to make a short track is blasphemy. It makes more sense to demolish or renovate a failed (Chicagoland), failing (Texas, Pocono, Dover), or discontinued track (Wilkesboro, Nashville Fairgrounds, Rockingham). Some of these are already in progress, but you can only put so many races on the schedule. Honestly, I think NASCAR is doing a good job (go figure!) managing tracks by dropping second races (Dover, Pocono), mixing in new tracks (COTA, Nashville, WWTR, Lucas Oil, Knoxville), mixing tracks among the various series, and getting creative (Coliseum, Dirt races). The overall schedule has been diverse as it's ever been. That said, Texas should die.

@@sethbomgardner9030 I agree, the repave will make the racing a one lane groove in the short term (the racing will suck) but eventually it will be good again. Gotta take the good with the bad

Atlanta was a reaction to tms and the way it was ruined by the repave.

How dare you use common sense!

Eh, with the lack of tire drop off and inability to make passes it was still bad. Not Martinsville bad (this year), but still pretty bad.

They could have made it a Saturday night race too.

It needs to be...

Now, that could work if the event doesn't return to Charlotte.

It's most likely that it was a 2005 US Grand Prix scenario. Goodyear did'nt do any tire testing for the track and these new cars, thus explains the failure of the tires at Texas. That or it's the teams setups, and they had the tire pressure set differently to try and gain an advantage at the track.

agree. this current configuration sucks!

Ok I agree and disagree with your comment I agree we should remove Texas or need it to be reconfigured idk how but somehow. But I do like the all star race it is a non points race that is for money (witch could help a small team if they get lucky and 1 mil or 900k is a extremely large sum of money for all of the driver)

@@mtkmacktheking3325 Its not really an all star race when its literally the same guys you race against every week. They even make it worse by taking people out of the race. Did BJ Mcleod make any money this weekend? Being forced to bring his stuff to TMS? The All-Star race and its stupid formulas need to go. Just make it a short invitational race with heats for the Million. Its really simple.

That is why no one wanted this track as the All Star race. They only went here because of the market though. Go to a track where the racing is really good.

@@mtkmacktheking3325 This sport is not a great money making venture.

@@mtkmacktheking3325 1) No small team is going to make the All Star Race (unless they have a speedway win, ala McDowell, Haley, Bayne), let alone win it. 2) I don't know if the driver keeps all that money. 3) The million dollar prize hasn't changed in 19 years. "The cash prize offered to racers has been fixed at $1 million since 2003. However, Jimmie Johnson's 2003 All-Star race winnings would actually be worth $1.57 million in today's market, according to Yahoo Sports' Nick Bromberg."

Agreed that caution was seriously not needed and if he didn’t win that probably would of been one of the biggest Nascar BS moments in any Allstar race ever

Worst race ever! Sorry you wasted your money.

Guess you enjoy bad racing, violent crashes, and confusing endings

@@Gage_Brumley Really not sure how you came to that conclusion. Were you replying to another comment?

@@Kevin_Kyle oh that's my bad, I somehow didn't see the WAS in all caps. I though you were saying last night race was your favorite of the season lol

I mean… not really. It wasn’t a conspiracy. NASCAR wanted one last restart, they’ve done it before.

Cautiongate.

@@nedlehs56 the fact that the Fox booth couldn’t express their opinion though; Mike Joy: “I know what to say but I can’t”.

@@nascarsam6161 Well yeah, they can’t just trash the sanctioning body, that’s a bad look, you see the same stuff in the NFL, NBA, etc. if they make a bad call they’ll say they disagree, but very rarely do they just outright bash them.
