NASCAR has had its fair share of strange and bizarre happenings over the years, and the All-Star Race is no exception. In the past, 'One Hot Night' ended with the race winner in the hospital, the first All-Star Race had the winning car (suspiciously) blow its engine just as it crossed the finish line, and there was also that time NASCAR let teams roll out the backup cars (mid-race)…after they all crashed due to a surprise rain shower.
Five years ago, NASCAR hosted another All-Star Race to remember, but not necessarily for the action on the track. The entire world felt strange to begin with, as it was taking place in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this, the event was moved from Charlotte Motor Speedway for the first time in over 30 years, heading to Bristol Motor Speedway in the middle of July.
