2023 R-F Race Ratings

ToyYoda · Feb 22, 2023

Once again, it's time to take a look at the average ratings from the Cup and Xfinity Rate the Race threads according to the fine people at racing-forums.com. Will be calculating the same way as in years past: highest and lowest ratings dropped (unless there are 10 or fewer ratings, then all will be counted), ratings for TV coverage, ratings solely for the winner (i.e. Chase Elliott won, so it's a 10), ratings for only a small part of the race (i.e. I only saw the last 10 laps but I give it a 7), and overly convoluted ratings won't be included, anything less than a 1 will be counted as a 1, anything more than a 10 will be counted as a 10.

…and they’re keeping Daytona and getting rid of Fontana

Greed runs everything.

Dover Cup race is 5th.

Obviously, the usual suspects didn’t complain loudly enough in the race thread.

I think people were just being biased as we have a board full of massive Denny Hamlin fans.

The All-Star Race won’t count in the season long tracking, but it got an average rating of 5.70. The Open seemed to be more popular, but there were only a handful of ratings for it.
