Road courses and short tracks.
When did we start rating supporting races?

I rated the Eldora race because it's a special event.
The XFINITY race at Indianapolis is a special event too. NASCAR's annual "The Most Boring Race Ever".

These are just the heat ratings. When we're done, we'll stand around for an hour, then do the real ratings.

I see what you did there.
I give it a 2 due to the late race cautions and making it somewhat interesting.
I can't go much higher than 1.5 --- no real racing. At least the late cautions did offer some hope.

The three I gave it was stretching it I guess ..... actually you may have been stretching it a bit too

Eh we are just splitting hairs either way you look at it. It has to be an awful product when your driver wins and you still give it a 3.The three I gave it was stretching it I guess ..... actually you may have been stretching it a bit too
Painted the hood on my Focus today so I just got a chance to see the DVRd race.
The beauty of the DVR is that you don't have to watch BS heat races.
I fast forwarded to the only race that matters.
WoooooooooHooooooooooooo!!! Kyle Busch

I try not to let the winner sway my rating, if I did almost all Xfinity races would be a 10
Maybe the race would've been better without the bull****t heat races.
Brian needs to put the gimmicks to rest and focus on racing.

ZERO POINT ZERO. I shut it off after seeing "heat' races. But in the mean time, you could change your tires after your 20 lap heat race?? Turned it back on momentarily--I dont know who won, but let me guess, Kbush? wow thats something new. As Homer Simpson would say BORING. ixfinity sucks ass. NOt worth watching at all. And all 1432 fans in the main grand stands would probably agree with me. This series is garbage.

Just finished watching it.
No one was hurt, property damage was minimal, it's over and off the schedule for another year. On that, how about a 1.5?

It might be time for NASCAR to outright ban Kyle from the XFINITY Series.
Nobody wants to watch races if they know who the winner is before they turn it on.

So they should ban Kimmel from ARCA?
With 4 wins on the year, is Brad in jeopardy of being banned from the Cup Series?

Kimmel isn't running ARCA.
The #1 rule of motorsports: Don't stink up the show.
Kyle Busch is racing above his league in XFINITY. The series is boring as hell, borderline on being the worst series in all of motorsports.
NASCAR won't do anything about Cup drivers in XFINITY because Kyle Busch has the most loyal fanbase in racing. But, they should.

I wouldn't go as far as ban Kyle Busch. I'd make a rule saying that Xfinity teams have to be separate from the Cup teams. Which means Kyle Busch won't be able to rely on Joe Gibbs parts when he races in Xfinity.

Apples and oranges.
What Kyle is doing is similar to a scenario where Tom Brady joins a college football team.
Did you see the grandstands? About 1000 people, max, attended that race. Take the Cup drivers out and the popcorn salesmen will be bumping into each other in the stands.
I wouldn't know, I don't watch amateur sports.

Sad that cup drivers have hurt attendance this bad, when the main reason for letting them race is that they are supposed to draw fans.

This is the issue. It isn't cup drivers stinking up the show, it's that certain teams especially one in particular bring Cup level (in development and attention to detail, not in the horsepower sense) equipment to a feeder series.
It's become the worst racing series I can think of. Until some drastic changes happen I won't tune into another Xfinity race, period. Their "chase" this year is gonna suck so bad.
What are the developmental teams feeding?

Was he kidding or were there only 1000 fans ? If so then What can the TV cameras do to avoid the angle?

I would be shocked if there were more than 100 fans in attendance based upon what the TV showed. Not joking.
