Rate the Race

Also someone long ago figured out how to take care of his tires, while everyone blew tires and had to pit he went slow and won the race, very smart man, doesn't mean from a fans point of view it didn't suck watching a guy go slower to win. Same thing with fuel millage racing, no one is taking away the stradegy, some very smart people sitting on those pit boxes, no one is taking away from the drivers who have the skill to backoff and conserve just enough to make it to the end with out losing the lead "BUT!" From my point of view I don't want to watch some of the best drivers in the world in the most competative racing series in the world "slow down" to win a race, also only 6 cars on the lead lap? This is the stuff NASCAR worked so hard back in the 80's to fix. Almost every race was like this, only 4 or 5 cars on the lead lap cars winning on fuel millage, NASCAR went to work to fix it, different aero packages less testing, so on and so on. Now here we are again, only 6 cars on the lead lap and fuel millage win, sorry but it sucks! So please I am not "finding" things to complain about those of us who've been around have seen all this before, it's boring and it sucks. Nascar fixed it once and they need to fix it again.

Thank You Dwayne for typing all that out for me, I agree 125%
 
I'll give it a 6 not bad but not great.
As far as this fuel thing goes I say bring back the 22 gallon fuel cell. Afterall tires are lasting longer these days why not a bigger tank to match.
 
Yeah, so if you feel it's gonna be a gas thing, you just ride around all night half throttle and win it under attrition. Y'all may feel differently but to me that ain't anything close to racing.
I raced motorcycles, turned Pro when I was 15. Never held back one lap in my entire career. If you all want to call lifting to save fuel racing then maybe watching grass grow will be entertaining also.
When I raced, I showed up to beat everyone else on the track.
 
An 8 imo.
I like long green runs, just let the competitors figure it out and tough crap when they don't, competition demands the integrity to allow it happen . Fuel milage runs isn't my favorite thing, and I wish they would go to bigger fuel cells to at least make tire management a bigger issue.
But I will always prefer fewer or limited cautions. If that means the leader wins by a lap that's still better than the phantom cautions. Nascar has to have faith in just letting them race, and run as many green laps as possible.
 
People who want to complain about fuel mileage races wouldn't complain if they liked the driver who won, too me it makes it a bit of an exiting race, who's gonna run out, who's gonna make it, and from the race being boring from what most say (i missed most of it) you'd think y'all would want something exiting to happen, that adds something to the race right there but I guess fans want to complain. From what I saw i'll give it a 6

Bean a MWR from the beginning, it's great to see them climb to the top after what happened to Mikey at Daytona, it was good to see Bowyer win I'm not knocking that. Sorry doesn't change anything fuel mileage races still suck! :p:D

Well certain members here wouldn't then, one certain member here once said whatever it takes to win, but that's only when it comes to certain drivers he likes, I won't say any names he know's just who he is.
 
Fuel is just as much a part of racing as tires or anything else for that matter. A fuel millage race doesn't bother me a bit regardless of who wins.

I actually found this last one to be exciting. That was a huge gamble by the 11 and 48, and Brads mistake made it pay off far more than they thought it would.
 
I'm going to change that a bit. Brad and Pauls failure to agree on a strategy and instead taking the middle ground. Listening to some radio chatter yesterday, Brad seemed to want to go all out and then pit twice. Paul wanted to save and try to make it in one stop. They ended up doing a little of both, and it cost them.
