“If you don't break, don't fix it”

Nascar Cup series champion Joey Logano He recently gave his opinion on whether the All-Star annual race should become an event that pays points in the future. It is currently a style event of the exhibition that allows the winner to bring home a cash prize in cash.

Logano won the race last year and hopes to defend its title by 2025. The 250 laps event has been scheduled for next Sunday, May 18 in North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina. In 2025 he marks the third consecutive year of the event on the historic court.

Some say it would be great for the winner to propel to the playoffs. Joey Logano thinks about it too. But if it works well as an event in the style of the exhibition under the current format, Mustang Maestro would prefer to leave it unaltered.

“Would it be great if it became a point race?” Logano recently said in a statement (via Bob Pockrass, Fox Sports). “Safe. It works as a All-Star Race? Yes. If you don't break, don't solve it? Maybe.”

However, Logano also said that if the race remains the same for too long, he could lose his shine and excitement.

“But I still feel that North Wilkesboro brings this excitement and they are doing a good job and the fans are shown,” he added.

This year, the 250 laps event has been scheduled for Sunday, May 18. Fans can see it at Fox Sports 1, at 8 pm et forward or listening to live radio updates on MRN and Siriusxm Nascar radio. The following week, Nascar will host his 13th paid career, the Coca-Cola 600 to Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Joey Logano emphasizes the importance of all-star breed

In addition to the winning bonus of $ 1 million, the All-Star race does not benefit the regular season. But according to Joey Logano, he has a purpose.

Put or not, gaining any race in the annual nascar programming provides the drivers such a need that can be transported to the next racecourse they visit. Explaining the same, said Logano,

“It is an impulse type, perhaps for the crew, to qualify (with a pit stop) is great, and this is a great piece for them who try to win the Pit-Stop competition.”

“The race is a bit of a race or nothing. You have nothing to lose. You can not lose any point. You have nothing to lose and a million dollars to win. For me, it is a fairly fun race because you can run with your hair a little,” he added.

Since its inception in 1985, the All-Star race has witnessed winners such as Dale Earnhardt, Terry Labonte, Jeff Gordon and Kevin Harvick. Joey Logano won it twice (2016 and 2024). Above all, his 2016 victory made him the 22nd different pilot to win this tent event.
