Yes, one driver dominated. But I well remember when races were won by laps over the field, not seconds.

Better divide the rating.

Open --- 10
All-Star --- 9

1.5/10

After this, it's going to be another 27 years before we see Cup race here again.

4 out of 10: The Open was good, And not every race can be a gem, but holy hell NASCAR needs to fix the short track package yesterday..

If NASCAR can't fix their short track package for Cup, then maybe North Wilkesboro is better off as a Truck Series only facility.

6. Most of the old Wilkesboro races I’ve watched were similar to this; run it during the day and a full field and I think you get a better race

5 - A blend of 9 for the challenge of the track and the great return to a classic speedway….a 3 for the race itself.

NWB return - 11
Open - 10
ASR - 5

Run it during the day and no fake caution at the midway point. And oh yea, fix the short track package

5. And that’s attending live, and all points for nostalgia. Open was good because the entire crowd seemed to HATE Gibbs and was pulling for the 34 to fence him. Nostalgia was amazing, but they need to iron out a lot of the fan experience to compete. Once the feature started, it was downhill. Sadly I wouldn’t pay to go back if this car package is what they bring.

3 for the race but 10 for the open, the track and the rest of the weekend experience. I never like all star races as much as points races though.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I'm I wrong or after Larson took the lead there wasn't a pass for the lead again, and not a pass in the top 5?
Briscoe was as fast if not faster than Larson last 50 laps and came through field, but by then it was so spread out that he had no shot. Don't know if tv covered that at all.

We were sitting in C coming off 4, and the 34 dirt tracking every lap after Gibbs junked him was frankly amazing. You could see the right front tire turning right as he gassed it up.

I'm wading through a backlog of races recorded while I was on vacation.

Open - 7.5. Good toward the end of the segments when tire wear kicked in.
ASR - 6. By the time the tires were worn, Larson was long gone. Other than the tire strategy call at the first caution, there wasn't much going on; at least, not that Fox showed me.
