I know we dont usually do this for n'wide, but thought we should for inaugural event.

I say a 7. Edwards stunk it up majorly, but lots of good action and some actually decent calls from NASCAR for once.
 
I'll go with about a 6. Carl had it won from the start but he had to pass some cars after they stayed out. Also the track crews really need to get a move on next time. A 45 minute red flag for a crash?:rolleyes:
 
I loved it. But I just love racing. I got to see some great racing at the Anderson race track right here in Indiana this past Wednesday.

Two thumbs up...
 
Road America is a beautiful course.

Smoke14, I live about 30 minutes from Anderson, did you make it to Eldora Speedway on June 9th ?
 
Beautiful racetrack. Awesome winner. Perfect 10.
A lot of people here piss and whine week in and week out about Cup guys winning in the Nationwide Series, but you gotta admit if the Cup guys weren't here in the Nationwide Series it would just be a bunch of nuckleheads running into eachother. Somebodys gotta win.
 
Awesome, I give it a 8. If Villeneuve hadn't blown his engine it would have been a great finish.

Cup cars have to go there. Would love to see Ambrose, Montoya, Stewart, both Gordons, etc... go balls out at that place.
 
Good race, shame about Jacques though.

Anyone else tired of the smootch fest going on in the booth over the #62 & 66, how much free air time did rusty's car get?
 
I'll have to give it a 9. A Ford win a 10. The ESPN coverage wasn't that bad either. I enjoyed watchpng the guy diving Danica's ride all day too. I agree the cup cars need to run on this track. I bet Edward's wouldn't object to running there in a COT.
 
I give it a 3. I hated this race, way too many cautions, stuff was so slow to get cleaned up. Seeing guys slide off the track almost every lap when they were all by themselves is not that exciting to me.
 
7.5 - great track and good racing. villeneuve was edwards only real competition. once his engine went south so did most of most of my interest. nobody else could touch carl.
 
Have to give a shout out to #35 Tony Ave....had a top 5 finish till the last lap mishap...He's an old snowmobiling buddy of mine from Hurley,Wi
 
I'll go with an 8. Edwards dominated, but there was great racing action and few cautions.

I've been racing at this race for years in various racing sims, and it's one of the best road courses in the world. Hopefully they will add it to the Cup schedule.
