2017 R-F Race Ratings

[ToyYoda]

Mar tins ville! Mar tins ville! Mar tins ville! Gooooo Martinsville!

Great work. I'm sure it sucks to sort though all those posts to come up with that number. Thanks for the hard work keeping us informed.

It takes some filtering, but it's not too bad. I toss the highest, lowest, and any overly convoluted or otherwise ambiguous ratings. Excel is my friend.

Yeah, but back when you started doing these updates, you used to look more like this.....

Time is taking its toll on you. Stay well.

Thanks, Yoda.

Too bad Iowa ain't on the schedule.

Thanks, Yoda.

You're welcome.

Yeah, I'd love to see the Cup guys at Iowa.

I don't keep the non-points events as a part of the rankings, but for those that are curious, the average rating for the Open was 7.67, and for the All-Star Race it was a....3.86.

If a vote wasn't split between the Open and the ASR in the Rate the Race thread, I applied the rating to the All-Star Race. There was also one duplicate vote I threw out.

I don't usually post the rate the ASR either but this year it just seemed the thing to do. Lots of controversy surrounding it.

WOW! A 3.86 is getting into Brickyard 400 territory.

 

[ToyYoda]

Ironically, the Coca-Cola 600 had an average rating of 6.00.

12. Charlotte (5/28): 6.00

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Hmmm- the 3 short tracks are the 3 highest rated races, and the 3 quad-ovals are the 3 lowest rated races.

Well too be fair this insanely fast Gen 6 car is beyond awesome on short tracks as they hold speed so well

Spring Dover will not repeat as R-F Race of the Year. I have a feeling this one would have been much higher if not for the finish.

1. Bristol (4/24): 9.27
2. Martinsville (4/2): 8.94
3. Richmond (4/30): 8.66
4. Kansas (5/13): 8.31
5. Las Vegas (3/12): 8.08
6. Phoenix (3/19): 8.03
7. Talladega (5/7): 7.62
8. Dover (6/4): 7.61
9. Fontana (3/26): 7.59
10. Daytona (2/26): 7.46
11. Texas (4/9): 6.80
12. Atlanta (3/5): 6.55
13. Charlotte (5/28): 6.00

 

[Efisher131]

Going to be hard to top Bristol but the road courses have a shot

 

[JBone88]

The two race ratings most impacted by the finishes were Las Vegas and Dover.

Dover was a damn good race that was downgraded by a poor finish.

LV was boring as sin. But the Kyle/Joey pit road fireworks propped it up to a top 5 ranking.

Don't forget Brad blowing up with two to go. The ending was damn good for that one absolutely

I would be surprised if the Brickyard was not the least ranked race this year but if Chase or Junior won it could overtake Bristol for the lead.

I think I gave Sonoma a 7 as it was a decent race but, IMO, not as good as some I have seen there.

I gave it a 7 as well for much the same reason.

Looks like I didn't miss much.

IIRC, Indy was in the 3's last year. I'm sure it'll come through again.

It takes some filtering, but it's not too bad. I toss the highest, lowest, and any overly convoluted or otherwise ambiguous ratings. Excel is my friend.

You can also highlight all the cells and it gives you the average at the bottom right.

It's amazing how many people expect to be able to use a tool they've never seen before without any instruction.

I am surprised KY scored as high as it did as there seemed to be a lot of 4's and under.

Inexplicably there were three 10's believe it or not, although only two counted toward the average as I always drop the highest and the lowest.

Do you drop the ones like: "10 because my driver won"?
