2021 R-F Race Ratings

It's cool that you do this for us. Who'd have guessed that NH would be at the top and Daytona would be at the bottom?
There are a lot of "750 truthers" and plate race haters on here. It doesn't really shock me. Plus, NH has been good 4 years in a row now.

For the second straight week, the second go-round at a Cup track gets almost the same rating it got in its first race.

One correction I wanted to note, I went back and checked the Road America Xfinity ratings since this week's race was tied with it, and it looks like there may have been a couple ratings posted there after I calculated the average, so I have included those and adjusted RA's rating.

I’m sure if we did a poll for those who watched the truck race it would be top of the chart as well

Was wondering if these were all time highs…the Cup race was close but a little behind the ‘18 Spring Bristol race and the Xfinity race tied last year’s top race at Darlington. I’ve been tracking Cup since 2015 and Xfinity since 2018, here are the top races from previous years:

Cup:

2015 - Fall Martinsville - 9.48 (from memory, was wiped out in the server crash of 2016)
2016 - Spring Dover - 9.46
2017 - Fall Martinsville - 9.51
2018 - Spring Bristol - 9.67
2019 - Watkins Glen - 9.52
2020 - Spring Bristol - 9.31

Xfinity:

2018 - New Hampshire - 9.00
2019 - Kansas - 9.53
2020 - Fall Darlington - 9.54
 
Juuuuust a little bit of a difference in the Cup and Xfinity ratings this week.

Looking at the numbers, it's funny how similar the 1.5-2 mile tracks that use 550 HP are in ratings compared to where they were in 2018 in the last year of the low downforce. Without the last Las Vegas stinker the ratings were essentially even, the Vegas race brought it down to 6.8. Definitely shows that in our eyes the racing on intermediates has not improved, but to be honest we really don't think they're much worse either.

Because all it did was make them closer together. They still can’t pass, there’s just more cars on the screen at one time.

With all the races completed on tracks 1.5 miles or greater, only the spring Vegas race is in the top ten (8th).

All of the twisties are done too, with three of seven currently in the top ten, and five in the top 15.

Only one of four plate races is in the top half of the rankings (spring Dega, currently 18th).

Discuss amongst yourselves.

This is interesting, Gluck's pole shows a pretty good increase this year over the others. I could wager a guess that the change of tracks/schedule had something to do with it.
