Kyle Larson's Cup Series wins. Granted, the All-Star race already had some good history, but it risked becoming stale prior to the edition. There is something about night racing that brings out the absolute beauty of racing.

Everything seems brighter at night, and the racing seems more edgy, so we would be missing so much had the All-Star stuck to days instead of nights. We would have missed the outcome of the edition of the race, the edition of the race and the edition of the race, just to name a few.

The racing wouldn't have been as electrifying as it is today. The racing world rejoiced on February 15, when Dale Earnhardt finally got the biggest win of his career in the Daytona It had taken the elder Earnhardt 20 tries to finally accomplish that goal, as repeated losses had haunted him over the course of his Winston Cup career. But what if Earnhardt didn't get the win that day? Earnhardt's legacy was already established prior to that date, so we wouldn't have to worry about labeling him as the greatest driver who ever lived.

He was The Intimidator prior to the Daytona He didn't have to worry about a tarnished reputation. He wouldn't seem as established as another seven-time champion, Richard Petty.

Petty had won seven Daytona s to go along with his seven titles. If a win was all that Earnhardt would have lacked in his career, then I believe he would have been fine. That win did not define his career, and it wasn't an official benchmark of greatness for Earnhardt. Derrike Cope won the Daytona ; where is he now? Although winning the Daytona got the monkey off of Earnhardt's back, it wouldn't have been too big of a deal if he went without it.

He was already our most beloved star, anyway. To this day, his impact is still felt among those who were fans of the Alabama Gang and the Allison clan in the early '90s. But what if he wasn't in the helicopter crash that ultimately took his life in July ? It's safe to say he would have won multiple Cup championships and would have possibly added on to his Daytona win. He would have been the greatest driver of the '90s, instead of Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon.

On top of that, his popularity would have soared. His career statistic would have listed at least 70 or 80 wins and anywhere between three and four championships. Allison was one of the greatest drivers to ever take to the high banks. If only he could have raced a bit longer. Rather, it was the scuffle that broke out at the bottom of Turn 3 between the wrecked race cars of Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough, two men who thought for sure that one of them was going to win the race.

Donnie's brother Bobby, who had just taken a shot to the face from Yarborough's helmet, proceeded to channel his inner Dwayne Johnson and attempt to "layeth the smacketh down" on the driver of the No. But what if it never happened?
