Rate The Race: 2019 Daytona 500

[Johali]

9.5 A damn good Daytona race. One of the best at this track. And I don't count the wrecks. I just rate on the aszkicking action all race. Passing everywhere all race.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

9.5 best 500 in years. Screw the wrecks, we knew they were going to happen

The first 180 laps were great, the last 20+ were a circus. The majority of the race was good. But I'm ready for Atlanta and praying there won't be pack racing. If there is adios...

8.5 I enjoyed the heck out of it.

It'd be nice to say screw the wrecks, but they were still enough to take a couple points off for me. Fun race though for the most part.

Enjoyed the hell out of it. So glad these guys got up on the wheel and put on a show for the fans.

6. The hour long final 10 laps really dragged it down

1, typical plate race. All the passing in the world is meaningless when 9/10 if the field gets destroyed in the last 25 laps.

Great racing before most of the field got taken out in that series of late wrecks.

6, they need to bring more wreckers and figure out how to clean up those huge wrecks faster. It took forever to finish that race.

Great racing all the time. The wrecks at the end were avoidable but I can't blame the drivers for going for it. I take a wreckfest over a snoozefest at any time.
Goodbye restrictor plate!

10 What an awesome finish, and for Coach Gibbs and in honor of JD Gibbs

8. Too much red flag at the end for my taste. Overall a good solid 500 with driver's working both lanes.

8. The passing was really solid throughout the race and I loved the pit strategies, but that red flag drag at the end brings it down.

5 It was a good race until 30 laps to go. After that it was awful.

Best in recent history IMO. Finish was lame but I wont let that spoil the awesome racing I saw. So glad it didn't turn out as a 490 mile train like I thought it would.

7, I simply do not like the crashfest at the end of these races.

 

[saltysenior]

a solid 10......magical (????) change from the single file previous car races this week......2-3 wide.... underdogs running up front.....both lines able to advance....a good national anthem and the stands were full for a change...What more could yo want??

The late-race wrecks weren't much of a deterrent because you pretty much knew they were coming.
