A short track somewhere
A solid 8.5. Got a little snoozy towards the end prior to the final caution but most of the race was excellent.
 
A good 8 easily....I really enjoyed the race today...
 
7 due to the tire issues.
That said, NASCAR deserves thumbs up for trying to improve competition by doing stuff like removing roof cameras at 1 and 1.5 mile tracks after determining that they benefit the leader.
 
8, really enjoyed it. Phoenix has had some good racing recently.
 
10

9

Would be a 10 if Kez had of got JJ. Much better racing than Daytona.
 
Solid 7. it was a good race but the fact that taking 4 tires is still ZERO advantage is a problem. Not to mention that whoever had the lead couldn't really be caught unless it was a caution or the leader had a **** car.

The best Car for most of the race was Kez

I think Wolfe made some calls that hurt them. Kez had to re-pass a lot of cars today.

Glad to see you had a great time.

Yes, sir.
I'd probably rate the race differently if I wasn't there and watching on FOX (which I'll be doing tomorrow).
Perfect weather, tailgaitin', chicken wings + good times = 10.
 
I can't believe everyone saying how great a race it was. I think it was about the tuffest race for passing in the last 7-8 years I have seen. I honestly thought I was watching a race at new hampshire, which had been in years past one of the tuffest places to pass at. To the untrained eye this might not be obvious but if you take a car that is stuck in 19th place and they can't move up and you put them in second or third and they hold the spot that tells me passing is next to impossible. look at all the fast guys in the beginning of the race, mark martin and kahne for example once they got shuffled they were never a factor. I don't think the problem necessarily was passing the leader I think the problem was passing period back in the pack. I think the gen 6 car is a fail for the first 2 races.

Keselowski, Busch and Hamlin, and some others, passed a lot of cars today. But the racing sure wasn't anything special with this new car.
