Speed Thrills: NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race Week Unlike Any In All Of Sports

NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race Week


DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (May 15, 2013) – History collides with the present, as names including Johnson, Gordon and Busch build upon a foundation laid by the likes of Waltrip, Yarborough and Earnhardt.

This Saturday night, the most thrilling all-star exhibition in all of sports roars under the lights at the historic Charlotte Motor Speedway, with the 29th running of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race. There are no points in this one, but one major prize – a $1 million payout to the victor courtesy of Sprint.

In 1985, NASCAR held its inaugural all-star clash, with Darrell Waltrip coming home first among a field of 12. This year, 22 cars will take the green on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET, live on SPEED, Motor Racing Network Radio and SiriusXM Satellite Radio. Nineteen of those drivers have already locked up a spot; three more will earn entry moments before driver introductions.

A primer on the all-star eligibility…

- Drivers who have won NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points races in 2012 and 2013

- Drivers who are past NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race winners in the last 10 years

- Drivers who are past NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champions in the previous 10 years

- The top-two finishers in the Sprint Showdown, the 40-lap race that precedes the NASCAR Sprint

- All-Star Race

- The top Sprint Fan Vote driver who finishes the Showdown and whose car is in “raceable” condition as determined by the series director per the 2013 entry blank. Fans may vote for their favorite driver by using the NASCAR Mobile ’13 application or online at www.NASCAR.com/SprintFanVote. Votes cast from the NASCAR Mobile ’13 application count double.

Format changes will greet the world’s best drivers this weekend, all with one central theme: speed.

The need for speed begins Friday night with Coors Light Pole qualifying at 6 p.m. ET on SPEED. Qualifying will consist of three laps and a mandatory four-tire pit stop. Pit road speed, entering and exiting, will not be enforced. The team with the quickest time wins the Coors Light Pole and will lead the field to green on Saturday night.

Like last year, the 2013 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race will consist of five segments – four 20-lap segments and a 10-lap shootout. The winner earns a $1 million pay day from Sprint.

But unlike last year, the running order at the completion of the fourth segment (Lap 80) will be repositioned based on the average finish for the first four segments – putting a premium on strong finishes throughout the entire event. The new lineup will be placed directly behind the caution car prior to the opening of pit road for a mandatory four-tire pit stop, placing a spotlight firmly on the unsung heroes of NASCAR – the pit crews. The order of the cars returning to the track will determine the starting order of the fifth segment. Running order ties will be broken by the finish of the fourth segment. In the fifth and final segment, only green flag laps will count.

This year there is even an added incentive: if a driver wins all five segments, he or she will take home “Bruton’s Big Bonus” – an extra $1 million paid by Charlotte Motor Speedway and Bruton Smith, Chief Executive Officer, Speedway Motorsports, Inc.

All of this action takes place this Saturday evening, the grand finale of a week packed with fan-friendly activities on and off the race track.

See below for a full schedule of events for the upcoming week. All on-track activity will take place at Charlotte Motor Speedway:

Friday, May 17, NASCAR Day – The NASCAR Foundation and NASCAR industry will come together on Friday at Charlotte Motor Speedway (CMS) to celebrate the 10th Annual NASCAR Day. This special day is an unprecedented celebration of drivers, corporate partners, media and fans uniting with The NASCAR Foundation to support a range of charitable causes that are relevant and meaningful to those within the NASCAR family. Fans can get the commemorative NASCAR Day pin and make a donation at www.NASCAR.com/foundation.

Friday, May 17, 6 p.m. ET – NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race Coors Light Pole Qualifying. For tickets, call 1-800-455-FANS or log onto www.charlottemotorspeedway.com. SPEED will televise the event.

Friday, May 17, 8 p.m. ET – NASCAR Camping World Truck Series North Carolina Education Lottery 200. For tickets, go to www.charlottemotorspeedway.com or call 1-800-455-FANS. SPEED, Motor Racing Network Radio and SiriusXM Satellite Radio will broadcast the event.

Saturday, May 18, 7:30 p.m. ET – Sprint Showdown (top-two finishers qualify for the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race). For tickets, go to www.charlottemotorspeedway.comc or call 1-800-455-FANS. SPEED, Motor Racing Network Radio and SiriusXM Satellite Radio will broadcast the event.

One final option remains for those not already locked in after the Sprint Showdown – the Sprint Fan Vote. Fans may vote for their favorite driver by using the NASCAR Mobile ’13 application or online at www.NASCAR.com/SprintFanVote. Votes cast from the NASCAR Mobile ’13 application count double.

Saturday, May 18, 9 p.m. – NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race. For tickets, call 1-800-455-FANS or go to www.charlottemotorspeedway.com. SPEED, Motor Racing Network Radio and SiriusXM Satellite Radio will broadcast the event.

The drivers already locked into the main event 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, Mark Martin, Ryan Newman, David Ragan and Tony Stewart.

Will Cars Shape The Cities of The Future?


Urban planning and the way architects plan the infrastructure of cities was changed forever when motor vehicles started becoming mass-produced. As more and more cars started appearing on city streets, the injuries and fatalities that were being caused by cars became a pretty serious issue, which forced urban planners to start thinking about reinventing cities and the way urban infrastructure is developed. That's when cars became the centerpiece of most city planning projects, which hasn't changed even after a century or so. Although it's obvious that cities built around cars are not eco-friendly at all, and the more streets and cars a city has, the more the air quality is reduced, there haven't been any serious efforts so far to start developing infrastructures that will cater to people, instead of cars.

However, there are some indications that in the next couple of decades urban planners will become increasingly aware of this issue and city traffic will be drastically reduced. This is because there is simply no other way to go, as more and more cities are becoming incredibly overcrowded, and traffic congestion is one of the most serious issues that such cities are faced with. Today's cities are not very sustainable in large part due to these over-population and traffic congestion issues, and something has to be done to make them more livable and more environmentally-friendly.

One possible solution to this problem is to implement bus rapid transit systems in large cities to ease traffic congestion. Such an efficient and practical system would make more people use public transportation instead of cars, which would reduce air pollution and improve traffic safety. This way, the overall quality of life in cities will be improved, as well. This means that future cities are going to be built in a way that is going to provide more room and infrastructure for rapid transit system buses, instead of cars.

There are a couple of other ideas that are supposed to make cities more people-friendly. Some European cities, such as Copenhagen, are starting to provide better cycling infrastructures, which means more bike lanes, bike racks, as well as traffic signs regulating and facilitating the use of bicycles. Portland, Oregon is a perfect U.S. city to be discovered by bike.

Another example of a future city that is not defined by cars is Nagoya, which could become one of the first cities in the world to have a car-free center. This Japanese city, with a population of 2.3 million, plans to make its center more eco-friendly, by turning it into a zone where no personal cars will be allowed to enter, but only pedestrians and public transportation vehicles, with a lot of trees and parks. The idea is to build streets with two lanes, instead of four or more, which is the way streets look like in most cities nowadays. This way, the city core will be more open and inviting to the younger population, who will be able to do all sorts of outdoor activities there, and if these plans become a reality, Nagoya could become a blueprint for a future city that is sustainable, eco-friendly and people-friendly.

Deerskin Gloves vs. Cowhide Gloves
David M wearing his DeerTours Motorcycle Gloves

Deerskin is one of the most difficult leathers to work with, both in it’s tanning process, and in the making of leather goods. This, and limited availability, prevents it from being a leather that can be stamped out and sewn into products by the millions using inexperienced labor and many common mass production methods. When done properly however, it produces one of the strongest, softest, most durable, and comfortable gloves you can wear.

deerskin outseam gloves

A properly cut deerskin glove has stretch width-wise and very little stretch lengthwise. This means a snug fitting glove that will expand with your hand when you make a fist or grip something, but the fingers won’t stretch or become floppy.

The physical structure of deerskin leather is different than other types of skins. It’s elongated interwoven fibers give it an extremely high shear strength and abrasion resistance. The spaces between the fibers make the leather soft and comfortable over a wider range of temperatures than others. In other words: cooler in the warm weather and warmer in the cold weather.

deerskin outseam gloves

The combination of a naturally superior leather, tanner, cut, and sewn by experienced crafts people using age old processes, results in a product that truly “fits like a glove”.

Unlike man-made materials that appear flawless, any skin has surface scratches and scars, etc., and contain subtle variations in color and texture resulting in natural markings which add to the uniqueness of each item. These variations in no way affect the durability or performance of the glove. Normal use will enhance the character of this leather.
