The wait is finally over. NASCAR’s annual All-Star spectacle is around the corner.

What was supposed to be a routine media briefing ahead of the Sonsio Grand Prix suddenly turned into one of the most spicy and revealing moments the IndyCar Series has seen in recent years.

While the NASCAR Cup Series’ trip to Texas Motor Speedway delivered another win for Chase Elliott and yet another heartbreak for Kyle Busch, the biggest post-race controversy centered around Ryan Preece.
