Blaney wins the 2022 All-Star Race
Ryan Blaney won this year's NASCAR All-Star Race. This format was controversial because drivers from four different teams had to each drive a single car. But it was the team effort which won this race. Blaney took the win by crossing the finish lines twice, even though he was running in the outside lane. The team Penske also had a strong race day. Joey Logano was fourth and Austin Cindric placed third. But it was difficult for the team to qualify for the Indianapolis 500. Blaney became the sole driver to do this in 2022.
Ryan Blaney was trying catch a vehicle passing by when he accidentally pulled the net down. Blaney couldn't get the net up in time, so he had only to continue at his current speed. NASCAR said Blaney could continue but Denny Hamlin claimed he had broken the rules. Blaney won the 2022 All-Star Race with the window net.

How To
How to start racing abroad
First, find a local club to practice your skills and compete. Driving in foreign countries can prove difficult due to different laws. Some countries forbid drivers from passing another vehicle at any time. Other countries only allow overtaking when entering a roundabout. Some countries require cars to make a special sound when they enter or exit a roundabout. The best thing to do before traveling overseas is to research the regulations for each country you plan to visit. This way, you won't get a ticket from the police for breaking the law.
