A good race. Some questionable tactics. Some stupid pit mistakes.

Had to think about it. But it was a pretty good race in spite of the obvious manipulations.

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

8.5 best Martinsville race in quite a while

8 for excitement at the end.

except it may be a 0 for NaSCAR officiating depending on how ridiculous the rulings end up being.

Garbage manipulation of the outcome by NASCAR.

 

[Brentford]

I wasn't sure what to do here. After going back and forth, I'm still not sure. So I'll just go with everyone else and give it an 8.

 

[Speedbowl14]

I gotta go 5 as an overall rating. It'd be an 8 without the bs.

This wasn't a race. It was reality tv.

2 working grooves at Martinsville thanks to a better tire setup.

Easy 8.5, one of the best races here in a while. Goodyear finally brought a decent tire, so we got to see a race this great track deserves

Enjoyable race despite the manufacturer manipulation BS.

A solid 9. What a masterful performance by Blaney, nothing but absolute respect (coming from someone who almost always roots for Chevy's and Larson). He performs so well at the most critical times.

It is really great to finish with a long green-flag run, and especially at a short track.

Shame on NASCAR for the playoff elimination shiet show.

8, would have been a 9.5 without the BS at the end.

I don’t think it would be fair for me to rate the race as gimmicks, overtime & manipulations do me in. I’m going to have to start watching the race ending first to see if it’s one worth watching!

9. Martinsville rocks, even all of this drama is exciting. You never leave Fall Martinsville without story lines for a week

9.5 for Ryan... negative 10 for the decision NASCAR made to manipulate the last spot in the bogus playoffs. The 23 and 20 did not conspire together, it was a decision by one driver. The 1, 3, and 77 did conspire... heck they were reminded on the radio, and it was recorded, "the deal". That to me says that one manufacturer had a "deal" prior to the actual race, just did not know the players at the time. No doubt they boxed Keselowski in, pretty obvious.

9. Good race with a lot of respect shown by most drivers.
