“This is a full metal rodeo for a big ol’ bag of dough,“ said the 62-year-old Gossage, who saw hosting the All-Star race as a perfect ender for him. Texas is the third track in three years for NASCAR’s annual non-points All-Star race. For the 17 drivers already qualified for the All-Star race, the starting order was determined by random draw. “I’ve been a part of this event where we’re not locked in, and that’s not a super fun place to be the afternoon of the All-Star race,” he said. “It feels like another points race, and I don’t feel any different this week than I do going into other events.“Loading...
