And be honest. Rate the racing that we saw, which was fantastic. I can't give a bad grade just because I don't agree with the call to end it early.

The racing --- 9
 
For what we saw, definitely gotta say an 8.5

I loved it, would’ve loved to see it go the distance, can’t always get what you want, but yeah what we saw definitely a good one
 
9. Awesome racing. I hate rain, but even the ending couldn't ruin it. This sport is awesome.
 
9.0 Freaking race had me on the edge of my chair. I'm not a big fan of pack racing but I look for entertainment and excitement and this race had plenty of both. Seeing great saves by a few of the drivers, watching them as they work their way through the field and the crew chiefs layout plans for the race as it progressed made this event a spell binder.
I had tossed in the towel on Bristol being a track favorite a few years ago but this race was like the Bristol of the past. It might even make me a believer in pack racing. Sure beats the races with everyone in a loooooooooooooooong line, no passing, little planning by crew chiefs and half the field 3 or more laps down.

Great racing but running out the clock hurt the race.

It really reminded me of the old Talladega & Daytona races. Skill absolutely mattered on Sunday night. Daytona & Talladega with their long straights have become way too much of a freight train the last few years.

With as much cornering as there is here and as tight as the corner radii are it seemed handling matters a lot more than at Daytona and Talladega and you can get more done on your own.
