Rate The Race

:) :) :) :) :) :) great side by side racing for the lead all day and it really didn't come down to fuel milage.
 
I will go for a 7. Would have given it an 8 if Harvick hadn't been caught up in that crash.
 
8, Dale Jr. won, for me it be 10 if Harvick hadnt been in that wreck.
 
I'll give it 9.Great side by side racing,greats runs by the 17,97,15,22 and of course the 8 car. :cheers:
 
7.5 This was the best racing I've seen on that track bye the WCup cars.
there was passing all day & the cameras couldn't keep up.
 
A---5... and that is just because of all the cautions I thought the race itself was boring.
 
Veddy interrrresting !!!

Especially how people rate a race on where thier favorite driver finished.

This brings to mind the question, when giving the grade for the quality of racing, what does where your favorite driver finished have to do with how the race was rated???

Some days a driver is a hero and the next day, a zero, but what takes place in front and behind him is what makes the race good or bad.

And while I'm on the subject, what about the breaks where the wrecks are shown. Nothing but the wrecks. Only the wrecks. Get the message here???

One thing for sure, this week on each NASCAR show where they review the racing, will they show the great side by side racing between Busch and Newman ?? How about the side by side between Newman and Gordon ?? Or Earnhradt and Johnson ?? There was better racing at Phoenix than at 80% of the other races this year.

We are all expected to share our opinion, but to rate a race on where your favorite driver finishes when there were great battles going on all over the track, makes the logic behind that opinion, suspect.

Oh yea. Rate the race. I'll give it a nine (9). I thought Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, and too many others to mention without covering the majority of the field, drove hard all day and showed what racing is all about.

Now that is just my opinion and it is based on what occurred during the race not where any one particular driver did or did not finish.
 
Gee Whizzer, I gave it an 8 and as you can well see my favorites didn't fair so well. ;)
 
I gave it an 8. If I rated the race by how well Ricky ran, I wouldn't be rating very many of the very high these days.
 
Absolutely one of the best races I've seen in a while. Great side-by-side battles all over the track. Hard driving by everyone.

Kudos to moving that wall in turn 2. It used to scare me every time cars came up next to it.

I give it a 9. :)
 
9...but NBC still hasn't figured out how to get a good shot of the cars coming through the dog leg...better than last year though.
