This race gets a ten from me. This race had pretty much everything that makes a race exciting. Well, except for a helmet throw... that would've been nice to see again.
 
I'll go a 9.
I'm dating myself, but watching them run the high groove at Bristol brings memories of when it was asphalt and that WAS the groove. All I needed was smoking right rears and hearing the tires squeal to take me back in time.
 
I'm giving it an 8. I was at the spring race and thought it was better than this one. Not by much.
 
9.

I know it's hard to pass but when a driver needed to make the pass, he had to be fearless and that is pretty awesome that wasn't easy.. just get a guy loose and pass.. No you had to really be on the wheel.
 
8. It's an honest 8. Since the repave, I can't remember seeing slide jobs work.
 
I'll give it a nine! I thought it was a great race, and guys were actually able to pass on the bottom. Carl Edwards was a good example of that.

Best moment for me was new dad Harvick 'holdin back from fellow new dad Hamlin.
 
I was amazed at how many drivers overcame problems and worked their way back up front. Kyle is fun to watch, he saved an out of shape car several times. I enjoyed watching the final laps with Kensith and Kahne running side-by-side clean - which probably pissed off the locals.
 
9/10. Much better Bristol race I've seen in years. Needed a photo finish to be a 10
 
B+

Like Harvick, I still miss the action that came with the old Bristol, as do the numerous fans that attended the race dressed as empty seats.
