Rate the race: Pocono I

[MRM]

I didn't see this anywhere. Rate yesterday's race.

10 for the double file restarts. Most of the race was a typical ho-hum Pocono race. I'll still give it a 7.

7 here

Let's see. 22 lead changes with 12 different drivers. A last place car gained 42 spots to win the race. Several drivers such as Ryan Newman had mechanical difficulties and ended up towards the front. Fords pretty much dominated the race but were not out front for the money shot. Reutimann, JPM, Hornish and Ambrose ended up in the top ten. And last but certainly not least, an owner-driver won a race for the first time in over ten years.

I give the entire race a solid 10.

And I thought the television coverage was the best I have seen in a long time.

I'll go an 8 --- simply because of the looooong middle part of the race put me to sleep.

 

[Digger]

8.

 

[mike honcho]

[Eagle1]

I'll give it a 9, I didn't get bored even during the middle of the race.

 

[Magnethead]

8.5

8 and I give TNT and double file restarts alot of credit for that. Not as boring as Pocono has been in the past.

The new restarts did not really help keep me watching the race, because they got spreed out really fast. I think it wil be better at Dega,Tona, and the short tracks.

8, I wasn't thinking through half the race that it was too long. TNT did a nice job

 

[kelloggs5TLfan]

7

TNT coverage was good.

 

[tkj24]

I'll give it a 8. Good race for Pocono

 

[Spike]

I'll give it a 5. Not great, not horrible, just the standard routine boring race at Pocono.

I'll go an 8 --- simply because of the looooong middle part of the race put me to sleep.

That was a great race by Pocono standards! And it was over in under 4 hours. It might have been like 3 hours 58 minutes, but still. I give it a solid 9.
