Just go back to qualifying. Qualify them the day of their race. Tired of seeing the same top 5 starters each week. RIP NASCAR
I don’t see why they don’t have a random draw for the starting positions. That way they could arrange for Bubba to capture the pole since that is the only way he would get it.
As for the allstar race,if Wallace don’t drive his way in I don’t think he’ll get the fan vote. ?
