While watching the NHL and NFL All-Star doubleheader on Sunday, I wondered why racing remains one of the few sports that doesn't have an All-Star game.

Granted, the diversity of disciplines would make it difficult to stage such an event, but fans, nevertheless, would welcome an opportunity to see John Force duke it out with Gil de Ferran, Buddy Lazier and Bobby Labonte.

There is IROC, but this annual series of four events of identically prepared Pontiacs gives too much of an advantage to NASCAR drivers. The Trans Ams are much more similar to Winston Cup cars than to CART or Indy Racing Northern Light Series machinery. And with the focus on superspeedways like Daytona, Talladega and Michigan, drafting is paramount.

So for the sake of argument, here is my All-Pro team and a method to pit all of them against one another.

Representing NASCAR are Cup champ Bobby Labonte, Dale Earnhardt Sr., Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Dale Jarrett.

From CART are de Ferran, Adrian Fernandez, Alex Zanardi (since Juan Montoya is off racing Formula One), Michael Andretti and Helio Castroneves.

Scott Sharp, Al Unser Jr., Eddie Cheever Jr. and Greg Ray join Buddy Lazier to carry the IRL flag.

Force, Ron Capps, Tony Schumacher, Warren Johnson and Gary Scelzi represent the NHRA.

Gathering all 20 of these individuals at one track would be almost impossible except for one day -- the Saturday of Super Bowl weekend.

Forget about superspeedways and road courses. Take these 20 drivers and put them in the RCA Dome in Indianapolis for a series of five events driving Kenyon Cars.

Kenyon Cars are the invention of a man named Mel Kenyon. Many diehard open-wheel fans remember Mel. He is an Indy Car veteran who made his reputation running open-wheeled midgets and sprint cars across the United States.

Kenyon's creation uses a basic midget chassis and a 1200cc motorcycle engine. At 130 horsepower, these Kenyon cars can jump. They're quick and they react like real race cars should.

Running in the RCA Dome means constructing a quarter-mile to one-fifth mile track -- something that USAC has done in the Dome for a number of years.

But here is where my scenario gets interesting. Instead of putting the 20 All-Pros on the track at the same time, one representative from each discipline competes in a 25-lap race. The race lineups would be determined by a lottery and the winners, along with a driver voted upon by the fans based upon his performance in the individual race, move into a 50-lap final.

Just imagine Force and Earnhardt twisting one of Kenyon's pocket rockets around a tight concrete oval. Better yet, how about de Ferran rubbing wheels with Stewart and Cheever?

The Kenyon cars do not lend any driver a decided advantage, while the size of the track reduces the intimidation factor. And, a hefty prize -- around $100,000 winner take all -- would guarantee a flat-out war.

There's no need to worry about the RCA Dome being booked on Super Bowl Saturday. After all, it's the home of the Colts and it doesn't look like they will be Super Bowl-bound any time in the near future.
