7. Because we rate the race, not the winner!
42 has a baaaaaad car this weekend.
Quickest in 2 practices, fastest 10 lap average, starting on pole. Might go 2 in a row at Michigan...
That's why I've had raceview since the first season it came out. There is a ton of good racing and strategy in every race that the tv audience never sees.One of the announcers said there were battles throughout the field, I wish they would have shown more of that (they did show some of the battles).
Uh what about Larson and Elliott pushing each other everywhere in the closing laps almost wrecking in turn one.
That's the thing about racing, tv shows it so much differently than being in person
My compromise rating: 6.0. Michigan International Speedway conspires with the laws of physics to produce spread out, follow-the-leader racing. Track position and clean air are important at these high speeds. Despite that, there was some spirited side-by-side fighting, and a range of strategies added spice. The win by the 42 was awesome, the 24 and 21 were also outstanding, and the 22's late recovery was pretty cool. And karma to the 18 was also good.
The caution with ~20 to go spoiled an exciting finish. It didn't feel right to me, so I'm inclined to assume it was a bogus yellow designed to avoid a fuel mileage finish. That pisses me off and reduced my rating. And the yellow was out for too many laps as well.
OTOH, there is evidence that Nascar's explanation was truthful. Nascar said debris was present on the racing surface, and they couldn't tell what it was exactly, so they did what they always do in that situation. The evidence includes a discussion on Reddit with photos and paraphrasing of Nascar channel radio traffic. Sometimes when Nascar is consistent in its rulings, we don't like the result. So I don't know what the ultimate truth is. I shaved my rating, but only 1.5 points, not 5 points, because I don't know.
^ Your stale bait smells bad.
You add nothing to any conversation about auto racing. There's a reason for that.
The Gator's opinion has value.
But....but....but.....but what about the corner entry speeds and trail braking?
That bait smelled bad from the start, Aunty. Then it got stale. I wonder if the state of the Nascar economy is still the same today as it was yesterday? One new thing... a whole series of posts belittling how others rate the race. I mean, new is good, but c'mon.^ Your stale bait smells bad.
