Saturday night’s All-Star Race was decidedly tame compared to what fans have come to expect from a non-points race. What can be done about it?
Some of the buzz heading into May and Charlotte Speedweeks has involved which five NASCAR figures would be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
The mix of names covers all aspects of NASCAR – drivers in various series, crew chiefs, car owners and promoters.
Sunday’s race was won with a bump and run from series champion Jimmie Johnson to Kurt Busch in a classic short track battle. But on Friday, Mark Martin and Jeff Burton both commented that lack of respect on the racetrack is becoming a huge problem in NASCAR, changing how the game is played in a bad way.

The NASCAR Hall of Fame induction ceremony was a star-studded, emotional event that capped a month-long buildup to the inaugural class’s enshrinement.

ESPN’s David Newton reported that Brian Vickers will be out of the No. 83 Red Bull Toyota for at least three months, with Casey Mears resuming driving duties.
