Not one of my favorite tracks, but I'll always watch these boys race regardless.

Yeah, I know a 5 is average, but one of the popular threads created after the race on this forum was a Kasey Kahne interview during the race.
That interview, by the way, was the race highlight for me, also.

On to Dover.
 
6.5

Pretty standard racing here. It was abit more tedious than other races because this car might as well be an unmoveable brick once you get back around 10 or so place. Cant do a thing with it fast car or not.

You know its a joke when you can keep up front with 100 laps old tires on while guys with 4 fresh get stuck in the back. lol
 
7, but one of the better NH races because qualifying and the yellows really mixed things up.

Didn't see much of the race, but I did see Kaseys' interview and that was priceless!
 
I think Kasey is in shock over how badly his chase is going. Even so Long-gone-o is beating him.
 
4. Isn't a race if you can't pass. Only major position swapping was in the pits.

An eight is self explanatory, I'm a race fan, I like racing, I'm healthy and watched cars racing yesterday and I saw a lot of action back in the pack especially on raceview, hence an 8.

Don't buck the system. This is a Loudon hate forum. There is never a good race at Loudon. Don't you know that? You've been here long enough.
 
I give it a 6. There were lots of green flag racing, which is good. But overall it was a fairly dull race.

Some of the worse races of the year at Loudon every time and this one was no exception. On the other hand, they get huge crowds there almost always (and presumably why they get two race dates each year)..and in New England no less. Go figure.
 
A couple drivers had to gamble to get past problems and it worked. I felt bad for Truex for not getting a top 5; he's still doing well and he is the best available driver driver at the moment. After just two Chase races it looks like there are three who can contend for the Cup, and they are the right three representing the 26 race season. All three have to have a bad race to get the next ten back in the hunt but that is unlikely - but then there is Talledega.

That's because you don't see all the racing that goes on, there are passes further back in the pack, you have to be there to actually see this.

That's why I quit rating these things. It don't mean jack unless you're there and unfortunately television will never put us in a seat at one of these venues. This isn't any other stick and ball sport where the camera is showing us all the action.
 
Not bad, I'd say 7.5 or 8, the last couple laps with Kyle vs Matt was pretty good and I bet if that race lasted 2-3 more laps Kyle would've caught up and possibly passed.

The race was better than the NWS New Hampshire race, that was a yawner.

The Kahne interview was kind of funny, I'm not sure what was going on there.

I stopped rating them long ago too. It makes no sense . You get a super speedway race like the last Daytona 500 with hundreds of passes and folks call it boring. You have really complicated driver skill tracks like Pocono and New Hampshire that don't get a lot of passing and folks call it boring . Just WWF fans in my opinion. If anybody really cares how many passes there were , (on track , not in the pits) those numbers are available and usually astounding. If all you watch is the two leaders , I fully understand the ratings .

Yup you got me there. 1. You've obviously never heard of "sucks" sports attire. I've got a shirt for every sport i play that reads "running sucks" or "soccer sucks" or "football sucks". It's sarcasm for something you love. And I've totally bashed NASCAR & it's fans when I watch the race every weekend & support it as much as possible. Go figure

Comments are what I'm talking about, it took me a minute to figure out the racing sucks thing, never noticed, but go back and read your comments, pretty negative.
 
I'll go with a 5. Not much action from what I could see. Would rate it a 4, but I'm thinking since I watched it at a bar with no sound, my opinion may be lower than it should be.
