7. The last 50 laps didn't save it for me.

Honestly this was an awesome race. Never lost my attention over the course of 400 laps.

Richmond has had a couple of great races this year.

We can all say that the last stage was great, but the 250 laps before that were mind numbing.

8.5, I agree this one was good but the spring was terrible other than the last 30 laps.

7 wasn't great but one of the better Richmond races in awhile

10 - doesn't get any better than that. 17 used his stuff up. 20 came up short. This was a good outcome for the 19 team.

7.5 first 300 laps sucked last 100 were awesome

The people who saved their stuff were up front at the end. That’s how it works.

Only got to watch the last stage --- 8.5
Clean racing for the lead.

I like this race, but passing in the pits is not racing 6

8.75. Great run by Bell at the end. Adam missed the winning strategy by 1 lap.

6.5, and that's being generous.

Idk, I just think these new cars need more power at the short tracks. And generally speaking, I haven't been a big fan of the racing at Richmond for the past 15 or so years, so I can't just blame the car.

The first half of the race was a snoozer. Yeah, there was more action toward the end, but this place just doesn't feel like a short track.

I don't know if that fixes it to be honest unless we go to like 950 HP. Bigger brakes, tires & a sequential gearbox is just going to race differently

7, lowest I could go on a short track

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

6. Richmond is a snoozer every time, which saddens me.

I have never liked this track.

[DIDIT]

Can't rate, didn't get to watch. But, hearing drivers like Blaney and Elliott say they can't figure this track out, has me feeling a bit more positive about Richmond. Racing shouldn't be easy.

 

[Conover]

6 - reasonably good but more racing the track than others

 

[RHRFan#1]

I'll vote 6

had some good moments but mostly a snoozer

 

[FLRacingFan]

8.5, I agree this one was good but the spring was terrible other than the last 30 laps.

I agree this one was better, more action on track throughout the race. But overall, both had a lot of what I’d like to see in a Cup race - technical track with multiple lines available, high tire degradation, green flag pit cycles, and an element of legitimate strategy. Lots of battles where guys were able to fight side-by-side for multiple laps. It’s evolved from being the single-lane sealant racing from years back but it’s still great imo.
