Matt McLaughlin’s Thinkin’ Out Loud: 2010 NASCAR All-Star Race Recap
The first All-Star Race back in 1985 was 70 laps long and concluded in just over 40 minutes. We need this bloated freak show to get back to its roots.

Jimmie Johnson had a dominant car, but a rare unforced error by the four-time champ (speeding on pit road) handed the win to Kyle Busch at Dover.
So who should the five drivers inducted into the NASCAR Hall in 2011 be? In my mind there are four drivers that should automatically make the cut.
They’re racing 500 miles at Darlington, and for that I give thanks. But Saturday’s race might have been “A” Southern 500, but it’s not “The” Southern 500.
Growing up, I recall when the month of May meant one thing for racing fans. It meant the Indy “By Gawd” 500.
Whatever sealer the Sawyer family used to use at Richmond to ensure side-by-side racing in two lanes needs to be pulled out of storage.
Speaking of site management, even they seemed a bit taken aback I wasn’t showering the Talladega race with Hosannas after the fact.
Three green-white-checkered restarts at the end of Talladega? The No. 42 Tums sponsorship was perfect, because crew chiefs had to be gobbling the tablets.
In this tough economy, Hendrick still has the sponsors other teams lack and they can make you rich. Rich and unsuccessful beats poor and a champion.
Denny Hamlin muscled his way past Jeff Burton on the final restart at Texas and held off Jimmie Johnson to claim his second win in the last three races.
