RATE THE RACE...CHICAGO!

[Awesome_Bill]

I'd give todays race around a 7. It was pretty good racing but not much of a finish. Even with Harvick running out of gas, he was not in contention at the time. At least it was better that the past trips, with both lines in action...

I don't know problebly about a 3. To me it was sort of boring except for the wrecks. I am just glad no one was hurt.

 

[Ward Burton]

I give it an 8, the beginning was pretty boring, but it got much better as the races went on I thought....Ward ran in the 30's and 20's all day, but finally finished 19th. That was the best part...that and how Jeff Burton did.

B-O-R-I-N-G....have to give it a 4 at most.Only Ryan winning saved it from even lower.

 

[Gollum]

I give it about a 5. The last 2 laps sucked. Harvick wasn't gonna win anyway. He wasn't gonna catch Newman. But 2nd would have been a whole bunch better than 17th.

I'd give it a 9.5 since Ryan won. It would've been a 10 if NBC had'nt showed Stewart & Johnson for 17 straight laps without once showing the battle for the lead at the end! From lap 21 to lap 4 all they showed was the 20 & 48! Pathetic!

 

[Gollum]

I notice that to. DIdn't know that 3rd and 4th place was so important. When you had two other cars leading the race.

I'll rate it a 7,that's about as high as any cookie-cutter track rates on My list.Glad that Bobby Labonte was alright,that was a scary accident looked like at first & kudos to Kyle Petty for stopping to check on Bobby,that was a classy thing to do IMO!

I missed a lot of it due to a family b'day party on the beach, so I'm not quite sure, but I'd say a 6, what I did see was fairly entertaining for a cookie cutter track. I agree on the coverage near the end, what was that about?!? I mean, OK, fine, they're neck and neck, show that and then show the leaders and maybe something else going on...you can't tell me they were the only ones going at it at the time.

Oh well. I did enjoy the post-race coverage...I'm hoping NBC never figures out exactly how long it takes to run a race!

I give it a 3, I dont find wrecks entertaining. Some decent racing at some points in the race though.
