Change is nothing new in the NASCAR landscape, especially if you are considering the annual All-Star race. Every year the sanctioning body, incongruence with the racetrack, have been able to muster up a rash of ever-changing format ideas in order to try to enhance the drama and intensity of one of NASCAR’s most exciting nights.
In what should come as a shock to no one – they’ve done it again.
On Tuesday afternoon at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the format for the 2017 Monster Energy All-Star race was laid out.
Here’s how it will go:
– 70 lap event featuring four stages (20, 20, 20, 10)
– Only 10 cars make it into the final 10-lap dash.
