I thought about it too, seeing as it's a non-points race and he has won the two of those he raced this year

Thats why I did pick him. He seems to do good in a non points race.

Re: All-Star Challenge @ Charlotte Talkabout

I have a question, how they determine who makes the field and who has to try to make it via the showdown? Thanks.

I know you can get in by winning a race last year and by winning a previous all star race within the last 10 years. All others have to hope to win showdown or be the one voted in.

This is from Jayski:
Eligibility rules for Sprint Cup All-Star Race XXIV:
1st criteria
: Drivers and car owners who have won races in the current and preceding year. If a driver leaves a team with which he has won a race, he remains eligible and the car owner's new driver also is eligible (through the last race before The All-Star Race)

2nd criteria
: Drivers who are past Cup champions in the last 10 years

3rd criteria
: Drivers who have won The All-Star Race in the past 10 years

4th criteria
: The winning driver of the Sprint Open

5th criteria
: Drivers who have won in previous years, not eligible by the above (not owners, just drivers)

So to get into a non points fun race (although there is big money) you need to have been a past champion within the past 10 years but to get into a points paying race there is no time limit ???? Bill Elliott's last championship was 20 years ago. TWENTY YEARS AGO !!!!! Sorry but that makes no sense to me.
