#TBT – NASCAR’s All Star Race

brakeandclutch

Throwback Thursday is the segment that takes you down Memory Lane for the races each week. We’re doing a special edition this week since there are some all stars who need to get their game on and go play (or in this case, race).

2007

The Busch brothers were racing each other towards the end of the race when disaster struck and they crashed into each other. If I remember correctly from a segment on Race Hub last season, Kurt still isn’t thrilled about it – and it was 10 years later (although he missed out on $1 million thanks to a wreck with his brother, so can you blame him?). Here’s some footage of the wreck.

 

2017

This was Dale Earnhardt Jr’s final All Star Race. In it, Matt Kenseth’s car blew up and Kyle Busch took home the win. Here’s some sound bites from it.
