Rate the Race : Daytona 500

[Clutch]

I'll give it an 8. Absolutely hate those White flag cautions. It's like going on a date with a real cute girl and then you find out she's a man.

I'll just take your word for that as I don't have your experience

Best race of the year so far … the last 30 laps rocked …

I wouldn't even rate it close to what some of y'all stated so I ain't sayin anything at all. It was fun watching Gonzo win.

It was a real yawner for me. Over-hyping by Fox, Stewart and Kenseth out early, Gordon taken out, and no Busch brothers. Except for Jeff, those are 4 drivers who probably would have been up front making for a more exciting finish. I also didn't like that Joey L won but at least the 48 didn't win.

Yeah - same here - fun there for a bit but needed more wrecks...and finished under caution.

First 170 - 5/10
Last 30 - 9/10
Average - 7/10

Weighted average would be a 5.6

Didn't read all the threads here yet but there was no reason to throw the yellow at the end. The track was clear to the finish line.

8/10

Would've given it at least a 9/10 had the race ended under green.

Definitely the best plate race in many years. The "big one" is my least favorite part about these races and it is always a good thing when 35+ cars are running towards the end of the race.

The race kept me entertained throughout. My driver stayed near the front for most of the entire race. He probably had the best car out there but effed up in the latter stages.

Yes he did, but, he admitted it in an after race interview, he is a good guy, glad to see him finally happy in his own skin.

Nothing has changed with him. Maybe it just took you longer to see it?

Sounds like a carbon copy of my driver. But your's finished.

8. Loved the green flag stops. It was not a wreck fest. Danica made a great save.

I never give a number score, but I'll give the race a "hell yeah." Any race where you have no idea who's going to win that near the end is ok by my book. I mean I was on my feet with 20 laps to go. Sure, the ending fizzled thanks to Almendinger's engine going boom, and we never found out what might have happened if it went green the whole way, but eh, it happens.

No not at all, have been seeing it for a long time now, it was just a casual comment.
