I'll give it a 2.5
That was horribly boring.
But at least Jeff took over 2nd place and Jimmie won. So it wasn't a total loss.

I cant go over a 6. I don't like Pocono anyway. 
As much as I dislike Pocono, I will have to give today's race a solid 8 ! (And NOT because JJ won!) There was some drama, and just overall good racing today!

) but since Robby got a top 10 i will give it a 5

They really need to shorten this race. Ill give it a 3 it would be higher if someone else besides Jimmy Johnson won. I like him but hes turning into the Jeff Gordon of the 90's when he won everything. To me its getting old. But thats just my opinion.

Lots of action and "drama" in the race.
I give it a 9 for the action and the top ten finishers,
but have to give it a 1.5 for the "drama".

Back in the day, Pocono was a very competitive track. I really don't understand why it isn't anymore.
Jimmie ran great. Not much else to say. Tony drove like a rookie again and this time he only took himself out.
I'll give it a 4 I guess.

I gotta go with a 6. It was a little above averagte but only because the bottom half of the top ten was having trouble. Take that away and it was a 4.

My belief is that the tracka are not wide enough for the speeds they are running. If they want alot of passing at these speeds I think they are going to have to makethe new new tracks, and the tracks they have now with the safer barrier there goes another 30 inches.
BTW I give it a 3, This is the second race in a row I fell asleep. Make note to self "DRINK MORE MT DEW" :lol:

Lappy, an "in person" Pocono race is like Talledega or Daytona, you cannot see what is taking place. I've watched races at Pocono, Dayton and Talledega from the pit, the garage, the infield and the grandstands, all with the same results. Those races are better on television. The excitement and other fans around you make the difference but that is true at any track.
The Pocono race is exciting. The distance is right. One or two long, unrestrictor plate races are good as it shows durability of car, driver, pit crew and overall strategy.
NASCAR has changed so many rules and made the sport more inviting to the modern day fans who have no idea of the way races were won and lost. These are the same fans who might not say it but think it when the attention span spreads beyond the one hour and forty-five minutes psychologists tell us they have as a limit.
They are the "we want it to happen.....now!!! DAMMIT", crowd NASCAR is catering too.
Any race over the time mentioned is too long and gets complicated. Thus the changes to shorten a race. A long race, three different turns for setup, different banking, potential for equipment failure, strategy, all make the overall picture at Pocono a good one.
Point being the interview with Jimmy Johnson when he said Pocono is the most physically and mentally demanding track other than a road course. If this is too long, try a short track where the winner walks away after thirty or fifty laps.
To me, for race fans who appreciate what takes place to win at Pocono, it becomes more than an entertainment event that requires everything to be just right, as it was with Johnson and the 48 team yesterday, OR a driver man handling an ill car and bringing it home for a good finish as Ryan Newman did yesterday, aided by the "lucky dog" rule.
There was "drama" yesterday. There was the unknown of durability and there was the uncertainty of a G/W/C finish with strategy involved to plan for such an event.
This race was a solid 8.

I ho hummed my way through the Sunday paper while it was on and glanced up once in a while. Very disappointed in Ryan's car and if it wasn'he wrecks and DNF's he would have finished somewhere in the 30's. Finishing 13th was a miracle!!! GO RYAN!!!!
