Rate The Race: Charlotte Coke 600

Big fat ze-ro. Glad Truex won. However the racing was awful. 14 cars on the lead LAP. Little passing, at least on TV.

AND THEN THERE'S THE COMMERCIALS...

More downforce reduction coming. Get used to this.
 
1, One leader all day/night long is BORING, even if it was "my guy" 4 hours of nothing new. I liked Martin much better as a single team. gibbs racing I dont like and never will. Cant stand foreign cars anyway.
 
Rated a ZERO, who wants to see one car dominate, and I would be surprised if the car passed inspection by a independent inspector.
 
4, the view from the stands wasn't much better than tv sounds like, weather turned out ok. Restarts were the only racing I saw, after 10 laps seemed liked everyone was running the same speed, Harvick was the only driver who moved through the field. Worst 600 hundred I've been to, but I love Charlotte.

And the only reason that was intriguing is because the 78 team could screw up a one car funeral.

I think that is overly simplistic and overly harsh.

I don't think the loss in the Daytona 500 was a screw up, not sure what Truex should have dome differently. Maybe some action was available? But I don't know what it was.

In Texas, faced with a decision to pit or stay out, was there any right answer? The trailing cars were going to do the opposite, and either way the 78 was a sitting duck.

The broken screw that balanced on the hub... wasn't that just a random "act of God" sort of event?

In Dover, Truex had no way to get around JJ with the locked gears.

Whatever the case the 78 team has managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on multiple occasions and until that changes I would not count them as race winners until they cross the stripe. If the 18, 48, 99, 20 were out there with a car like that only an act of God could have stopped them and like someone else said the stands would empty early.
 
Listened to this one on PRN. Only watched the last 20 laps. I'll eventually watch my DVR'd copy. I do have to say that the PRN broadcast was pretty bad IMO. I'm usually a fan of both the MRN and PRN broadcasts but PRN seemed to spend more time on Sunday night BS'ing about anything other than the on track activities. Not a lot of fun to listen to.
