Kevin Harvick says the All-Star Race is perhaps nearing its shelf life as an annual a part of the NASCAR Cup Collection season.
Talking on his Glad Hours present on NASCAR on FOX’s YouTube channel, the 2014 Cup Collection champion driver turned tv analyst listed all the explanations he doesn’t assume the annual summer season exhibition doesn’t work anymore.
“I simply assume that with all the trouble and issues that go into it,” mentioned Harvick. “We will’t discover a format that everyone likes; I feel we should always honor our guys. I feel we have now to determine the right way to make the Conflict be the Conflict and the All-Star Race and make all of it work collectively. I feel that North Wilkesboro deserves to be a factors race.”
So in different phrases, Harvick would simply make Wilkesboro a thirty seventh factors paying race.
“I feel it will be a implausible factors occasion, 400 laps, all of the vehicles on the race observe, full weekend,” Harvick mentioned. “I don’t assume North Wilkesboro ought to go anyplace, however I simply assume the All-Star Race has run its course, personally.”
The race, held at Atlanta in 1986, then Charlotte from 1987 to 2019, Bristol in 2020, Texas from 2020-2021, and Wilkesboro ever since. It’s paid one million to win since 2003.
NASCAR used to make use of the occasion to check out new guidelines and radical codecs however now they’ve all been applied. Thus, Harvick isn’t positive NASCAR wants two non-points exhibition races if there are not any new concepts for the All Star Race.
