Lots of good things happened during Sunday’s All-Star race broadcast at Dover Speedway. The military was honored for Armed Services Weekend; no bad weather rolled in despite the high temperatures; while there was a car in considerable flames no one was injured by it; and Mike Joy did a great job waving that green flag for the first time in his storied career. There were commercials that happened during the broadcast as well.
