I thought the All-Star Race at Bristol was OK. I expected it to be classic short-track racing, but with a field of 20 cars it kind of reduces the amount of chaos that usually happens there. 

I'm not a fan of the number placements. There were some that were good, (e.g. Bubba's car didn't look too bad, shame he got wrecked by McDowell) but most were bad, with my least favorites going to the JGR crew. The underglow is a nice addition, although I would like to see it applied better than each manufacturer getting a different color and have it so that it matches the car's sponsor.

 
That was my thoughts too. The number placement is very dependent on if the design team cares to make the number bigger as well. The teams that used text logos didn’t help either. I was more disappointed that the underglow didn’t go under the whole car.

Plus the race showed that you need to have bigger fields for the exciting chaos Bristol brings. Sure, short track racing for a million bucks is nice, but it doesn’t work with half a field.

Plus, you notice that Justin Haley took a 2nd year team and car and flat out beat Clint Bowyer? I think it either proves Spire’s CGR alliance is working (although outside that, the 77 is just a Rick Ware Racing car), Justin Halen is overachieving, or Bowyer isn’t as good as we think.
