For mine, NASCAR's All-Star event is the most meaningful of it's kind in American sports - on par with the Major League Baseball game, which decides World Series home field advantage for the winning conference - because there's no slowing down of the game, like you see in football and hockey. The million dollars on offer takes care of that!
Drivers are all going hell-for-leather in the unique and, it seems, ever-changing format, at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which generally produces good racing. The non-championship event means that drivers generally take chances in this event to win the big pay day than they otherwise might over the long stretch of the Sprint Cup Series season, where there are wins and points-paying finishes to worry about. Not this weekend!
The Camping World Truck Series joins the Sprint Cup Series on the bill in Charlotte whilst the Xfinity Series heads out into the heartland, to the racy Iowa Speedway for a race that'll be live on Monday morning in Australia. So, it's a triple header weekend, and that's never a bad thing!
