8 A decent race. They can't all be 10s.

5, sure the last 20 laps were good. The first 380 were awful.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

I'll go with a 7. The race was a bit bland until the last couple dozen laps or so.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Winner bonuses all over the place…

I give it a 5.
The first 350 laps were terrible, the pit road mistakes by the #4, the #18, the #78 and the #14 actually made it interesting at the end.

 

[Racer1930]

I'll give it an 8 - since at this time of year one can switch to football at the boring times - and the finish was fun

 

[joe h]

Typical playoff race, 95% garbage, with an occasional “didn’t expect that” ending. 8 because I like the winner.

 

[1wkdpony]

Honestly, it sucked. I give it a big 0

7, the playoffs gimmicky drama is kinda getting old and it needs to be more about the race itself.

Agreed, though it sucked even when it was new.

Race: 6
Winner: infinity

Race was terrible until finish. I loved it to no end, but I can’t let my love of winner shade objectivity towards overall rating. SHR flat stunk it up, just didn’t seal it.

 

[slash14]

6.5

 

[beantownkid10]

5.

Boring as hell, with cars being unable to pass anyone in traffic (as evidenced by Harvick being able to move past no one once he got out of the fresh air).

Winner made it better though.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

10 always a great day at the track. Wasn’t a great race but far from the worst Dover race I have seen

[WhiskyBadger]

6 ending saved it from being a 5

 

[DaBiff1618]

4, one of most boring races of the year. Any other race I’d be happy to see Chase win but to see Aric lose yet another win was heartbreaking. Dude reminds me so much of Jerry Nadeau lol

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

6. The last 30 or so were good though

 

[AdoubleU24]

Over the moon with the winner, but overall the race was pretty underwhelming. Which sucks because Dover is ones of my favorites.

 

[ToyYoda]

Just finished it on the DVR, pretty snoozeworthy race. A 5 is the best I can do.

 

[rd45usa]

8 Only because they decided to show up the last 50 laps to race. Congrats to Chase and team.

 

[jws926]

I cant go higher than 6.

 

[Ford Racing]

Was going to give it a 6, but the last 50 laps bumped it up to a 6.5

 

[Speedbowl14]

5. Classic Dover single groove and strung out

 

[DIDIT]

5...I can't imagine what someone not familiar with NASCAR would think of the first 350 laps. Absolutely nothing would have peeked their interest.

A guy in front of me had his girlfriend at her first race...
"This is boring as hell"
They left around lap 275

6. I always respect Dover because the degree of difficulty is high and it is truly skill-based racing. I've seen many great Dover races, and others are bland. This one was bland. As for the playoff, it added spice IMO, but the TV guys jabbering constantly about it became irritating.

Following the Charlotte roval... that's a tough act to follow.

 

[Mopardh9]

I'll give it 4.

So sick of the gimmicky stage crap, the convoluted points system, give me the non Chase format any day.

 

[Conover]

At Dover it’s all watching guys run laps against the track and their own car. I’m sure it’s challenging for the driver and the teams, but makes for dull viewing. Chase winning and the late stuff rescues a 3 up to a 5.

Stage racing ruined the strategical aspect once again.
