Race: good 9. Love short track races
Winner: 10. Very happy for Kurt. Could almost make a movie outta him :D
 
race: 9/10...great short track racing :D
winner: 9/10..happy for kurt..he's been though a lot since that win at dover...and tony wins as an owner and now has 2 cars in the chase...but that means a lot more pressure on tony and the 14 team now that the 4 and 41 got the job done..and got the job done early in the season..
 
Alot of unusual suspects in this race so that was a let down.

Gordon, Stewart, Hamlin, Busch all sucking really hurt the overall rate of this race.

A solid 8 for the overall race and a 9.5 for dat battle and finish.

Also as bonus, Clint got to experience just a tiny bit of what Gordon did last week. Win in hand then someone snatches it away.

Not too bad.
 
That race was a ten. Hell, I would have even given it a 10 had JJ won it. When the whole is closely run, and the leaders are that close together at the end, swapping the lead without getting all into each other, you couldn't ask for a better race.
 
excellent race. actually amazed that there weren't more on track incidents. some fun with brad and kurt. rookies looked good. very enjoyable race.

btw... i think ricky and danica better break up before they are both out of work.
 
Great race. Extremely fascinating. 10.
 
I'd give it a solid 9, the lull with a little over a 100 to go kind of brought it down. Some excellent driving going on today even for folks with evil cars.

7 is still two points above average, at least on my rating scale.

I'll go an 8 on this one.
Record # of lead changes pretty much sums it up.
Pretty impressive how Kurt was able to come back from his skirmish with Keselowski.
I'm a Michael Waltrip fan but I didn't care for him suggesting Kez should retaliate at Texas.
Way too much speed there to do that.
Maybe Waltrip meant in the garage.

Great race.

kez gets kleenex whiny award after his pit wreck.

Here 'tis, 9.9 !

Congrats to NASCAR for making racing so much fun to watch, again. It took a long time but the latest generation of cars are awesome and the racing is the best!

Congrats to Kurt, he's come a long way.
Needs to give the name of his Anger Management person to Kez. He seems to need one after yesterday.
 
9. Great racing, this is how it is supposed to be. Didn't look like many in the stands, though.
 
Another good race. Martinsville has the coolest trophy in all sports. One of the announcers said "If the right side of the car is messed up you're racing, if the left side of the car is messed up you're in the way" - I got a kick out of that analogy. Kurt had both sides messed up. It's looking like a pretty good season so far.

The stands were almost completely full. There were a few on the backstretch and in turn 1-2 but overall the turnout looked great to me.

I took some pictures, like I do every time for the turnout, because it's interesting and people are always saying it's bad.

I attended last fall's Martinsville, this daytona 500, this year's first bristol and Martinsville and so far, every turnout has been great with the exception of bristol.

Take it for what it's worth but I'd be happy with the turnout, were it me.
 
9 excellent race. Have to leave some room for the classics.

Kurt back in the winners circle is cool. It's been a long road for him since the Penske implosion. It will be good to have him in the......playoffs?
 
I'm giving it a 9. Could have given it a 10 if not for that long stretch where not a lot happened and JJ out front during that whole time.
