Throughout the week you can send us your best questions, jokes, rants and just plain miscellaneous thoughts to happyhourmailbag@yahoo.com or @NickBromberg.We'll post them here, have a good time and everyone's happy.

It's the most wonderful racing weekend of the year! While many people think of Memorial Day as the start of summer, for me it's moreso the three races that will happen on Sunday. Yeah, it's fun to sit around the grill outside with friends and family and enjoy not having to work on Monday, but watching racing is more fun, right? Especially 1,262 miles of it.

Just make sure to get a walk with your dog or a quick gym session in between races. Don't become a couch potato for the entire day, OK? Exercise is important. (Yes, I'm mandated to say that by the powers vested in me.)

Let's have some fun, this beat is sick. Well, some people are sick of talking about the All-Star Race fan vote. Others are not.

You or Jay need to followup on the "All-Star Voting Scandal".

Danica: 500K legit votes

Josh Wise: 84,000 votes from just one voter? Obviously and Internet BOT vote program and not a person. NASCAR won't release the actual tally of votes...hmmm?

That's a smack in the face by NASCAR to GoDaddy, sponsor of full-season rides and races. Also a smack in the face to SHR and their 4-car support of full-season NASCAR racing.

As a sanctioning body, NASCAR has to VOID that obvious "BOT voting" by the Internet geeks who are just doing it because they can. They aren't fans, they are hacks enjoying "messing up the vote", and toying with NASCAR.

GoDaddy and SHR should be LIVID!!! - Greg











@NickBromberg I can't wait to see what knee jerk reaction changes #nascar makes to the fan vote. No way this INJUSTICE can stand! — Darrell (@Furi0usD) May 22, 2014

As you can tell, Darrell's tweet is sarcastic. I'm pretty sure Greg's isn't.

Why are people so concerned with stuffing the ballot box in a fan vote? It's not like it's against the rules - heck, I tried to find the rules when the voting was going on and was unsuccessful - and NASCAR wants to make voting as easy as possible.

If it was a rule that only one person could vote one time, then sure, I see where the anger is. But how many Danica Patrick fans do you think voted more than one time? And Patrick voters had the opportunity to mobilize like Josh Wish's voters did. They didn't.

There's also no proof that the people voting for Wise had a bot, and the 84,000 figure was proven to be quite the embellishment as well. If people voted 20 times a day and it was within the rules, again, what's the probem?

That said, I'm not going to be surprised if there are changes to the fan vote next year. I honestly don't know if it's a good thing for the sport to have Danica Patrick missing out on the All-Star Race to a driver who got the benefit of a small (but loyal) internet following. In a sport of millions of dollars, it's funny to see what $55,000 (the cost of the Dogecoin sponsorship) can accomplish, but it's also easy to see how a sport of millions of dollars wouldn't want that relatively small amount to have such a large impact.

And one more final note before we move on. If you want to be in the All-Star Race, win a race. It's as simple as that.

I have always heard that if your car can't be driven from the track after a crash, that it was mandatory that you have to get in the ambulance and go to the Infield Care Center. Saturday night Kyle not only refused, but also brushed off NASCAR officials as they followed him down the track. Shouldn't he be fined or in some way sanctioned for this ? Also, I was not surprised to see him do this. I always knew the real Kyle Busch would come back out sooner or later. So much for the "new Kyle". - Joyce



There was a second replay that showed a worker at Charlotte looking like he told Kyle he had to go to the care center and Kyle relented. This is a non-story. He was mad about crashing. The end.

All-star race qualifying, amazing! All-star race, blah. It's time to change this race up. Take the top 15 drivers in points from the prior year in each series. Match up the weight of the chassis, and match up the horsepower in the engines. Then have them all compete in one All-Star race at Eldora. Heat races are each series drivers competing against each other. Say top ten of each go to the Feature Race which is where all three series compete together. How great would it be to see Johnson's Chevy SS, going against Blaney's Ford Mustang, against Wallace Jr's Toyota Tundra? - Tim
