2. If I could rate the race on just the winner it would have been a 10+ but the actual race was a dog, IMO.
I agree. It's like going to dinner, having the worst appetizer and entree, but finished with a good desert and saying it was a fantastic meal.
Apparently so. While the ending had some drama and the thrill of a first time winner, the race overall was a real turd. I give it a 3. Was going to give it a 2 until the ending.I was reading the race thread and didn't expect such high ratings. Appears that the winner has a big impact when it comes to rating the race.
Just curious, let's say your watching an NFL game and the Patriots are down to the Falcons by... oh, I don't know, let's say 25 midway through the 3rd quarter. Man most of the game the Falcons really stunk up the show...but wait, the Patriots come back and win in OT...For me one of the greatest Super Bowls I ever watched. Does every lap need to be exciting or is is the overall finish that makes it great?Apparently so.

If there is one thing I have learned from actually attending a race in-person, it's that the broadcast can leave a lot to be desired. I'll be at the July Pocono race. Hopefully I will find it just as exciting as you found today's to be!Just got home. Great day at the track. Blaney gave 18 his nudge right in front of us. Place went monkey nuts. Duel to the end was exciting and a nail-biter. Race had everything I wanted and nice weather and easy trip....a TEN.

10 10 10 10 10...even win Kyle was leading great strategy racing great race. Thank God Jimmie was ok after that!
The winner should not influence the rating of the race. Of course I'm excited if Kyle Busch wins but I will rate the race poorly if it was a snoozer. Now if the winner had such a dominant car (like Harvick at Dover in the fall two years ago, I still give the race a good rating due to the fact that I appreciate when a driver and his team put on a world class effort and are banging on all cylinders.I was reading the race thread and didn't expect such high ratings.

Not 21?5 until the last ten laps. 12 after that.
It is not uncommon for races to get good ratings even if they ain't very good.
LOL. There has never been a consensus on here about what makes a good race, not even close to agreement on that. There is no right or wrong, just personal opinions, and they vary widely. Who is to say how someone else *should* rate a race?The winner should not influence the rating of the race.
^^This^^The reason this example is flawed is because the Falcons scored 28 points in 2+ quarters on the best team in the league. The better example would be if the game was 0-0 at the end of regulation and both teams had punted 10 times. Then the Patriots scored the winning TD in overtime. Exciting finish, horrible game. Last year's Super Bowl was the greatest ever because it had action from start to finish.
Today had nothing until the end. Busch had a 5+ second lead most of the race. There's was almost nothing, literally, happening for 350 miles.

In my opinion the few that come on here just to slam the race week in and week out should be ignored. Not put on ignore just ignored. That's what I do.
What is funny as heck is that many of the some ones complaining about the race being boring will sit there and watch endless the quarters or periods of stick n ball whatever with no scoring. Whole stadiums of them singing, chanting, jumping up and down...cheerleaders doing flip flops and then come on here while the race is going and tell us talking about the race how great the "game" is and how boring the race is. man.. stick n ballers and they talk about racing fans.
