Only one play today in the All-Star race.

Blaney risking $35 to win $350.

Strange format. Stage 1 winners get inverted to start Stage 2 and they drop all but 26 cars I believe.

So a field of 26 starts Stage 2 with the Stage 1 winner starting last and so on and so forth. 26th place car starts first.

So difficult to pass at this track so next to impossible to cap.

They do the inverting in Sprint Car races as well.
Works out pretty good if you have the car.

Memorial Day Weekend is the biggest weekend in racing in America.

Indy 500 (Sunday 12:45 ET) and the Coca-Cola 600 (Sunday 6 pm ET).

Indy 500 will bring 350,000 fans to the track. It’s a race filled with pre-event pageantry, tradition and the race itself is always exciting even if it’s the only Motorsport event a fan watches all year. You don’t have to know a lot about racing to enjoy the Indy 500.

The Coke 600 at Charlotte is a grueling endurance test. Anything can and often does in a 600 mile test. Very tough to cap compared to most races. It’s one of NASCAR’s four Crown Jewel races and one most drivers would do anything to win.
