Slack used tongue in cheek sarcasm in his statement which I applaud him for. Were I in the same position it would have sounded more like this "Fuck the MLBP! I'd rather watch paint dry than a baseball game."

The MLB's All-Star Game is also known as the Midsummer Classic. MLB apparently felt that Mudsummer Classic was too close to Midsummer Classic.

The 'Summer Dryslick Classic' has kind of a ring to it.

I'll take baseball over NASCAR any day. Even NASCAR on Dirt. That said, the controversy over the name is bullshit. I don't see at all how anything was hurt or even changed by the similarity of the 2 names. I guess even some rich people are constantly looking for something to bitch about.

Well, they'd make great sprint car fans then, right? We need more money and teams in the sport. This should be a match made in heaven.
By the way, this was sarcasm.

Baseball or trucks turning Eldora in 22 seconds. Don't see much difference. Both are boring as can be!
