There seems to be a common thread between the top four.

Dover spring race was also close last year with a 9.46

I knew Spring Dover was the #1 race last year, I forgot it had that high a rating.

In the time I've been doing this, I think the record for lowest rating was the June 2015 Michigan race, which got a 3.52 I believe. That was the race where it kept raining on and off and was called just past halfway, and something like 30% of the laps that were run were caution laps.

Odd that race was rated so low don't remember that race being that bad.

I think it got rated so low just because there wasn't much of it.

We were at that race and it was a miserable day but we enjoyed the racing that we did get to watch. I think I scored it a 6 or 7 which is pretty low for a race we attended. I tried to find that thread but we lost it when we had the forum meltdown.

I always look forward to the start of a new cup season as the racing is pretty good up until around Memorial Day and then it goes south quickly, IMO. I didn't see the Phoenix race but I was very surprised to see it rated as a 10 by some of the forum members as a 10 means the perfect race.
 
Well, for the second time in three years, the Fall Martinsville race takes the crown as the Racing Forums race of the year. Average rating for the season was 7.22.

Thanks for all the hard work in keeping track of all of this @ToyYoda!

A weekly thread that I'm always interested in. It's interesting to see what people think of the televised race that we're shown. It's got to be a royal PITA rooting though all those responses to dig out numbers.

My pleasure! Glad you enjoy the thread.
 
Quickie comparison of the 2017 ratings versus the 2016 ratings...

#1 best race: 9.46 in 2016, 9.51 in 2017
#9th best race: 8.03 in 2016, 8.03 in 2017
#18th best race: 7.63 in 2016, 7.47 in 2017
#27th best race: 6.93 in 2016, 6.61 in 2017
#36th (worst race): 3.68 in 2016, 4.45 in 2017

Really not much difference between 'em, IMO.
