The police busted through the crowd during the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Dani California." I looked around, wondering who was fighting. Then I saw it. A set of legs bobbled through the air.
Body surfing and the Red Hot Chili Peppers during the Nextel All-Star Race, who would've thought it was possible. The four-song, 15-minute set was part of NASCAR's continuing effort to make the sport hipper. The show was the first time band performed at a sporting event and the first time NASCAR scheduled a performance during a race. The Peppers performed at about 11 p.m. between the first and second race segments. Fans lined up in front of the stage at Turn 1 by 9 p.m. Giant screens broadcast the show for the people sitting in the grandstands.
Fans jumping, shaking fists and surfing made the sprawling grassy area feel as intimate as Tremont Music Hall.

having Tonya Jameson cover the infield at Lowes Motor Speedway is like having Ken Garfield review a GWAR concert. Ridiculous. Par for the course, though.
