Rate The Cup Race: Martinsville I

[Johali]

"Please keep your reply's to one rating number 1 thru 10, 10 being the best. And your comments short and to the point. Discussions/debates can be held in other threads. It makes it much easier for @ToyYoda to tally the results". It's not an easy job scanning through the debris. And while I'm at it, Thanks to him for doing it.

9- Action everywhere.

8.5 good short track race

 

[HoneyBadger]

7.5.

Best race of the year. But that's not saying much, sadly.

I'm sure the racing was better in person though.

Regardless, more short tracks.

5...not how you can go higher when ONE car (thankfully a Penske) led almost all 500 laps. There was no racing out there.

8. People bitch when someone dominates then bitch when there's parity because it's "artificial". I thought it was competitive throughout the field but they should have been more aggressive.

 

[dirtguru]

6 not as good as the fall race. Hate to see one car dominate so much.

 

[Turtle84]

7.8 still too much downforce. Dirty air being discussed as a passing factor post race @ Martinsville by the talking heads. Unreal.

 

[DIDIT]

8...good racing, drivers passing, coming and going depending on length of green.

 

[kyle18fan]

5 at best

 

[LewTheShoe]

8... Heck of a battle between the 2 and the 9, with 18 and 12 right there as well. I always enjoy Martinsville as an iconic, historic venue, and this race was less affected by the 2019 rules package... so that's a good thing IMO.

So cool seeing the Glenn Wood #16 circle the track.

 

[nascarwoman]

7.5 Enjoyable, but have seen better.

8 on TV just wish I could have been at the track to watch what I wanted.

 

[Nitro Dude]

I'm not going to rate this race because I don't want to rain on any of the short track fans parade, but I did catch myself dozing off a lot and I never do that when a NASCAR race is on. The excitement everyone is talking about must have happened during my half a dozen naps because it looked like they never got out of low gear while I was watching. The best part was watching Chase Elliott doing an outstanding job all day and landing a second place finish. On to Texas.

 

[Revman]

10. Everything I need in a race.....what I want of course is a Toyota win, however.

 

[Nitro Dude]

Did you snooze when he passed Brad and led a bunch of laps?
Where you asleep when KB was banging on his rear bumper?

No, that's the parts of the race I did enjoy...but that wasn't enough to make it a great race imo. I was not complaining I was just stating the facts.

Really good racing everywhere. Yes the 2 was the class of the field, but the 9 and 18 were right there too. Close battle for the lead and it came right down to the wire.

I think we're a bit spoiled by Martinsville and our standards are really high because it's such a great track with several memorable moments. The fall races seem to have some kind of wild finish every year lately, so a race like what we saw today pales in comparison.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Please don't wander off the topic. We were asked to keep this as the rating thread to make it easier for ToYoda to do the figures. There is always the race thread to discuss whether or not it was good or not so good.

I love Martinsville, but this race was kinda meh.

4...single file top 3 last 150 laps yawn.
