7.5. Cautions at RA take too long to clear.

Doesn't get much better than this.

The part I saw, 7.5.
Had to go eat perfectly cooked rare filet mignon with family. Yummmmmmm

9.5 that is what stock car racing is about. Now how about a couple of dirt races to give those who came from the dirt a shot to show their skills.

9 because of the anti-climatic ending.
It would have been great to see Bill run better, but he did great for 62.

If they want to show their skills on dirt, there are dirt series for that.

They asked four Truck drivers who are locked into the playoffs if they could name a track they wanted in the playoffs what would it be. 3 out of four picked a dirt track. They're's your sign.

Hell, half that race was spent dirt tracking. 7.5

8, just too many commercials

My sign they're in the wrong series and that they'd be happier somewhere else?

9.9 I just loved how the two pro's took each other out of any chance for the win.

8, only for the simple reason pretty much the 1st 2 stages were pretty much completely run under caution. Racing was awesome and I was thoroughly entertained.

Nah...dirt is a gimmick in the upper series...I'll pass.

There’s nothing gimmicky about Eldora

IMO this place needs cautions by sector, I give it a 7

Eldora is still a gimmick, put 2 or 3 of those type races throughout the top 3 series and watch the popularity dissipate.

Maybe not but just maybe you'll get more today from the trucks.

9.8 - Heck of a good show.

I thought there was great racing all over the track. I was looking forward to a more dramatic finish, but 2nd & 3rd had other ideas.

More true dirt racing than I've seen when the trucks race at Eldora, that's for sure.

-1 for fox buffoons missing most of last 10 racing laps.

The Xfinity race was covered by NBCSN and they didn't go to commercial during the last ten laps.

 

[JDL]

I only could bear the first 15 or so laps, it never went green for more than a few laps and took an eternity to get back to green. I wish I had waited it out.

7, coverage wasn't the greatest, racing was good

It was a rough weekend for race fans who crave on-track, head-to-head competition, but Nascar's action was the best, as it usually is...

IndyCar IndyTrain at Gateway gets a 1.5 because not enough pit stops, which is the only way trains racing on a single track ever change up their running order. Leaders can't pass the lappers... that's bad.

F1 Spa-Francorchamps gets a 1.5 because a Ferrari win is worth a half point bonus. Bravo for the halo, which probably saved the life of Charles Leclerc.

MotoGP Silverstone gets a 3.0. It's sad to score IndyCar and F1 lower than MotoGP because the Silverstone races were cancelled (standing water after a botched repaving job) but there you have it. Maybe next week, when F1 is at Monza, IndyCar is at Portland, and MotoGP has a bye week, LOL.

Ironman National MX gets a 5.0 due to the hub-deep mud, a very unfortunate trick by Mother Nature. It was the finale of an excellent season. I'd like to see a deeper field of riders who can win races and compete for championships. But the scarcity of competitors up front is even more dire in the international FIM Grand Prix MX series.

Nascar as per usual offered up some excellent on-track competition. Mosport and Road America are two amazing racetracks for stock cars. The amount of dirty driving at both was off-putting... especially the trucks which I rated 7.0. Xfinity I rate 7.5. Fox showed the clip of Ryan Blaney winning at Mosport a dozen times... how it should be done. Just my opinion.

I did too...I was thinking this was the trucks rating
