The Race for $1,000,000

This Saturday night is NASCAR's annual Sprint All-Star race at Lowes Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. This race is truly one of the best of the year, and it doesn't even count for anything. The winner gets no points, but he does get the $1,000,000 prize. To get into the All-Star race, one must have accomplished at least one of the following: a) won a points race between the last All-Star race and this All-Star race, b) been a previous All-Star race winner in the last 10 years, c)placed 1st or 2nd in the All-Star shoot out that takes place before the all-Star race (only those not already in the All-Star race compete in this race), d) won the fan vote for the final All-Star race spot (fans vote for a person who is not already in the race, if the person who received the highest number of votes comes in 1st of 2nd in the shoot out, the person who received the next highest number of votes gets the spot). This race is always exciting and dramatic, so I'm really exited to see what happens.
