But the question is, where to? Homestead? Nashville? Daytona?

While the options are all as enticing as the next, NASCAR spotter Brett Griffin wants, not a change of venue, that too, but before that, a change of approach.

“We gotta talk about the health of the sport, and running that race at Phoenix is just bad every single year. I said it when it was Homestead every year. Like I love the Homestead racetrack, but running there every single year,” he continued. “Who’s gonna be better if we go to Homestead every single weekend? Kyle Larson!”“Stop taking it to the same damn place every single year.”

Will NASCAR move the All-Star race? Kevin Harvick has his say

In a recent interview, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver described why he can’t do anything about the All-Star race. “That is out of my pay grade,” he said.

“We have had some great races as we have gone through the season and going to different venues and having different things happen. If it was mine, I would do things probably in a different way, but it is not mine, I just drive,” Harvick continued.

“It is like I tell my son, make a couple billion dollars and then you can buy it and decide what the schedule looks like.”
