RATE THE RACE: Dover II

[HoneyBadger]

Race: 1.5
Coverage: 0

Dover don't need two races, especially when the crowds are dwindling every year because the races there are too long and boring. Their fall race would be better served in Las Vegas or Gateway.

400 miles is long? Today was boring? Considering that today's event was predicted to be rained out, there was a very good turnout.

You guys always bum me out. I really enjoyed the race from start to finish. Dang good racing and some interesting pit strategies.

I remember forty years ago when I was lucky to find out who won the race until my NASCAR newspaper showed up a week later.

 

[muggle not]

I will give it a 5 rating.

Stands were half empty, when I looked.

 

[PettyBlue]

Dover's still my favorite track. I saw a lot of good racing today. 7.

6

 

[Curves]

about a 6 for me. some good racing, not enough lead changes imo

 

[MRM]

The first half of the race was an 8, the second half was a 3. Then again, it might have been better, but we were stucking seeing battles for 15th when passes for 6th were taking place.

Some good moments, but too far between. Dover is one of my favorite tracks, but this was a snoozer because of Jimmie dominating.

Oh well. No matter what you do to make the racing better, it's impossible to avoid someone that's just having everything go their way.

7 was a good race last 100 laps could of been better, only other complaint i can make is the broadcast, but what do expect from a channel owned by Disney.

 

[BobbyFord]

The only reason I would rate this race as high as a 2 is because it cured my temporary bout with insomnia. It put me to sleep halfway through.

I listened to the last 100 laps on MRN. Sounded interesting enough on the radio.

Yeah, but the MRN guys are so good that they could make snail racing exciting.

I watched the DVR today, if it wasn't for the wrecks and the outcome I would have thought it was a different race

IMO TV will never do this sport justice. There is way to much action for television to cover it properly. The playing field is too large and the action is occurring everywhere.

I've gotta be honest, I've been to some really boring races at Dover.
