Vote A Driver Into the 2007 All-Star Challenge

Tuesday May 15, 2007
You can help make a driver's dream come true this Saturday night in the NASCAR NEXTEL All-Star Challenge. You can give one driver a shot at $1,000,000 who would otherwise be going home. Vote as many times as you like by visiting the NASCAR.com All-Star fan voting page. Voting is free and there is no limit to the number of votes you can cast.

I've been voting for one of the nicest guys in NASCAR, Kenny Schrader. I'd love to see Kenny and his Wood Brothers team get a nice payday on Saturday night.

Kenny Schrader is my pick

(2) jason says:

I agree with Steve… Ken Shrader got 2 votes from me, Mikey got 1, & “Herm” Wallace got 1. I would like to see all 3 of these guys in it.

(3) Bob in Indy says:

Yeah…… Ken Schrader needs a big win as his career is winding down. Super nice guy too. When I was in high school in the 50’s, there was a Kenny Schrader racing on a 1/4 mile dirt track in Valley Park Mo. (And winning too). Valley Park is a couple miles from Fenton Mo…..NASCAR’s Kenny Schrader’s listed home town. Does anyone know if these two were related, and how? Thanks.

DALE JR. IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

May 15, 2007 at 9:32 pm
(17) thekingcobra63 says:

Joe Nemechek is my vote, the guy never gets any credit for being one of the class guys on the track.

May 15, 2007 at 11:32 pm
(18) Mari24May says:

Would love to see Michael Waltrip get a break! Go Mike!

(23) glen H says:

I have to give Mike Waltrip my vote. I like Schrader but of all drivers, Mikey needs a break. Lets all vote for Mike and get him in one more race this year. By the way I am not a Toyota lover. He just needs it more than anyone else.

May 16, 2007 at 9:57 am
(24) Teresa says:

I agree with glen H. Every week, Mikey outqualifies drivers locked in, misses the race, and still keeps up a positive attitide.

May 16, 2007 at 11:43 am
(25) bill clinton says:

Bridget, hate to tell you this but, Dale Jr. is already in the All Star Challenge. You and Patti need to hook up.
As a reminder to all, here are the drivers that are in;
Biffle, Jeff Burton, Busch Brothers, Junior, Jeff Gordon, Hamlin, Harvick, Jarrett, Johnson, Kahne (Yes Holly, he’s already in), Kenseth, Bobby LaBonte, Martin, Mears, Newman, Tony Stewart, Vickers. From there they have the winner and the runner up from the “Open”, then one driver who is voted in by the fans. Steve has a link to that page in his section above to cast your vote for your driver (who is not already listed above).
Leave your comments here, but cast your OFFICIAL vote there.

May 16, 2007 at 12:35 pm
(26) Brian says:

i think kenny wallace should be in the all star challenge

May 16, 2007 at 12:37 pm

(29) patti says:

WELL BILL,JUST WANTED TO SAY WE ALL KNOW HOW IS IN AND NOT HOW IS IN BUT SOME OF US LIKE TO BRAG ON THE DRIVERS THAT WE LIKE SO THERE OK

May 16, 2007 at 12:41 pm
(30) Keith says:

Leave the politics out of this site clintoon This site already lacking integerty from the comments come on here. change your screen name

May 16, 2007 at 12:44 pm
(31) patti says:

good for you keith someone needed to say that but maybe he likes that name ha ha

May 16, 2007 at 1:08 pm
(32) bill clinton says:

No politics involved. Just trying to point out the obvious to those that do not grasp it.
The topic is choosing who you would vote in, not bragging on your driver.
Keith, Patti, obvious you take life a bit too serious. Get a sence of humor.

May 16, 2007 at 2:01 pm
(33) Keith says:

Clintoon I have a sense of humor, I don’t take any web site messages boards serious, I just think using clintoon name on here is playing politics on this site, I really don’t care who people votes for. There is a place for everything but this isn’t the place for being political, even if you are trying to be funny with your name.

May 16, 2007 at 2:15 pm
(34) Stewart says:

i too don’t think this person should play politcs on here or what ever they call it we get enuff of ths thing on tv not here

May 16, 2007 at 2:27 pm
(35) 1969RS says:

Good argument for Mikey, but I have cast my vote for Kenny Schrader.
As for Clintoon, geez, lighten up! At least he took the time to list who was in the ASC and where to go to make your vote. At least he / she didn’t sign it “Hillary”!

May 16, 2007 at 3:44 pm
(36) Scooter says:

Im voting for Rusty! Just kidding. Got to go with Schrader. It would be great to see him win or even place 2nd before retirement. Also- leave ole Bill alone maybe thats his real name! How is that being political? Sounds like he was just trying to be helpfull, and look what he gets for his efforts. And by the way Patti its WHO not HOW.

May 16, 2007 at 4:17 pm
(37) 1969rs says:

Yeah, ya gotta love Schrader. Hearing him on Speed explain what was going thru his mind just before he smacked the wall Sunday, was a major LOL.
“I closed my eyes ’cause I didn’t want them to pop out”.

(42) stratton says:

shrader ??? he never could drive in nascar , why would anybody pic him ?

May 16, 2007 at 6:00 pm
(43) leeroy says:

to bad stewart nots runnin good or i d pic him

May 16, 2007 at 6:41 pm
(44) Bob says:

Stratton, You are correct “shrader” couldnt drive in nascar however schrader could so that why we picked him.

May 16, 2007 at 10:27 pm
(45) thekingcobra63 says:

Man, I am I the only JOe Nemechek fan in the country? Schrader is ok, but if anyone needs a break it’s Nemechek. The guy had to give up his team for Mark Martin and start fresh, having to qualify those first races and fight his way into the top 35 in points like a rookie would have to. Show a little love at least for the guy.

(57) Willy says:

What about Petty?

May 17, 2007 at 10:43 am
(58) HRC -R-HC=JOKE says:

what about petty? he was never good as a driver he was riding on his dads tails now all he does drive to help pay the charity thing he does for the kids. Plus try to keep the petty name in Nascar (Fading fast)He is good for the bottom 5% of the drivers. Has he ever won a race?

May 17, 2007 at 10:55 am
(59) Willy says:

That may be true,but if Jr was on that list I bet he would get votes.

May 17, 2007 at 11:01 am
(60) HRC -R-HC=JOKE says:

Willy???? Jr a better driver than k petty ever was, jr more popular than k petty, point?

May 17, 2007 at 11:20 am
(61) Willy says:

Just saying that petty is a good guy with a good cause and my opinion is jr is just as guilty of riding on his dads tails.Not saying I dont like him,just wonder where he’s gonna be in 10 yrs?

May 17, 2007 at 12:06 pm
(62) HRC -R-HC=JOKE says:

Willy, Yes petty is a good person and doing a good cause. As well most of the drivers are. There are many drivers out there doing good things for others, they prefer not to make a big deal of it, like look at me look what I am doing. As I said before K Petty always have been riding on his dads tails (as well in a lot of family teams in racing Uncers, Kinsers, Waltrip, Wallace etc.) more so of JR at least JR is a better driver where as K Petty could not get in the top ten most years of his driving years. Where jr going to be in ten years? Who Knows, where are you going to be in ten years? Is nascar going to be around in ten years? Lot of companies was good ten years ago and now, you do not see them or downsize so much you do not recognize them.

May 17, 2007 at 12:25 pm
(63) HRC -R-HC=JOKE says:

Willy, let me clear up myself Jr is riding on his dad tails also cant deny that but jr far better driver than k petty ever was.

May 17, 2007 at 12:35 pm
(64) Willy says:

Didnt mean any disrespect,I hope both names are around for a long time.

May 17, 2007 at 12:43 pm
(65) HRC -R-HC=JOKE says:

Willy you didn’t direspect we have a differant and yet the same view on things

May 17, 2007 at 1:09 pm
(66) Stewhead says:

Well, it’s like this. I would vote for Schrader, but Robby Gordon promised to donate all winnings to VJGC so he got my vote many times. I just wish he could back it up with a win.

May 17, 2007 at 1:12 pm

Kenny Wallace deserves a break he is definitely a good driver but not had a competitive car since he left DEI.

I would like to see Kurt and Kyle Busch in the Sat.5-19-07 race. Tony Stewart is the last driver that I hope would ever race again, he is a menace on the track and very dangerous. He is so eager to win that he dont care who he knocks out of his way , one way or another,and in my groupe thay all agree with me.

Other Guides are also reporting a sharp increase in duplicate comments. This seems to be a server issue and not a problem with people double-posting.

Sympathy vote: M. Waltrip
Should have stayed with DEI.
Whiner vote: Denny Hamlin
Hope his pit crew takes him out early.

I’m voting for (drum roll)…..Clint Bowyer!
