It's hard to give an overall rating for this race. The first 120 laps was a real snoozer, literally. The last 80 laps were pretty good.

First 120 laps - 1
Last 80 laps - 8

I'll second your motion. I fell asleep, missed 30+ laps and felt like I hadn't missed anything.
 
It ended up being a pretty darn good race!....Who woulda figured that? :cool:
 
And just to mess up the conspiracy people...no late race caution . Nascar must be Biffle fans.

But if you really wanted to add the conspiracy theories, you can say they didn't want to throw a late race caution because of Jack Roushs accident last week since it would make a good story that one of the Roush cars won for their owner.

(Not that I believe any of that but you could argue it)

Best Pocono race ever. There was some real hard charging going on in the last 60 laps. Glad it didn't end cause of rain. Not a big Rousch or Biffle fan, but good to see the best of the bunch get a win. Hard to believe Rousch first win off season, and only Fords second.

agreed. I still say take away 1 date and make it 400 miles (160 laps), or keep both, but make them 300 miles (120 laps).
 
Well I fell asleep and didn't wake up until it was over, so I'll give it a 3.:D
