Saturday's Short All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway (live at Speed at 7 k. m. ET) brings out the best and worst in NASCAR's top stars.
The very best part is the organic speed and horsepower, with drivers taking opportunities they normally wouldn't in the regular Sprint Cup elements race. Plus, a lot of cash is at stake—which always is mostly a big motivating factor.
In addition, because there are no points exactly in danger and teams and drivers do not have to worry about where they shall be in the standings as soon as race, every driver brings his A-game to an event that is as close to real, unadulterated racing and speed as there are anywhere.
But there's additionally a worse side: pushing cars past their mechanical limits, reckless drivers making foolish mistakes when major money is on the line—oftentimes taking innocent drivers with each other in huge wreckfests—and teammates are anything but for this one affair.
Rather, the 29th edition in the All-Star Race is an "every man or woman for himself/herself" study in human motivation, psychology, speeding strategy and courtesy (or are lacking thereof).
The field of this year's race is almost set, made up of drivers who have got won a race due to the fact last year's All-Star happening. Already in Saturday's niche are: Marcos Ambrose, Greg Biffle, Clint Bowyer, Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr .., Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne, Matt Kenseth, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, Amount Martin, Ryan Newman, Donald Ragan and Tony Stewart.
We will see three other entries – the highest two finishers in a Saturday night's prelim ethnic background, the Sprint Showdown, and a fan vote to pick the final competitor for the most crucial event.
No matter which kind of NASCAR fan you are generally, from diehard to recreational observer, here's 10 the reason why Saturday's race is some must-watch event.
