I thought it was a pretty darned good race this evening......not the best so far this season but pretty far up there!! :D Jimmie showed 'em how it's done.............and Jr maintained his points leads (barely :) )

I'm going for a solid 8.........damned good demonstration of racing dominance by the 48 team!! :cheers:
 
I haved taped it. I was visiting family for most of the day, but caught the last 60 laps. I give it a 8.
 
Maj will probably give it a high rating, and I will give it about a 7.5 for now.
 
I'll give it a 8. A dominating race by Jimmie Johnson and the 48 Lowe's team.
 
I'm going to go with a 8.5. Unbelievable dominance by the 48 team.

All in all a pretty good race. Not a lot of cautions so it may have seemed boring to some but there was very good racing through out most of the field. :D
 
For excitement, nothing better than a 3. Johnson's performmance gets a 10. Dull dull race for the most part though, even with Sadler showing up pretty good. Matt did a whale of a job coming from deep in the field too.
 
I usually like Atlanta racing quite a bit, but this one was a snoozer. I'm sure it was because Jeff wasn't a factor all night though. I really like Jimmie Johnson, but I found myself watching less than 100 laps of the race.
 
Does "I'm at the wrong track!" have anything to do with you getting bored with the racin? :) It was Charlotte, not Atlanta.

Oops, I meant Charlotte. I usually like Charlotte and Atlanta, but even if it was at Martinsville (my favorite track) it would have been boring to watch Jeff run around aimlessly several laps back.
 
I went to the Coke-Cola 600 And I have to give it a 7. I have no problem with Domination by the 48 Team, props go to the 48 Team :cheers: Not much excitement, I even seen a guy over from me Snoozing. ^_^
 
I give it an 8. Everbody going a lap down sucked, but the racing was good for the most part.
 
I was dissapointed Kasey Kahne faded at the end but over all was pretty good. I give it a seven.
 
Rate it a 10 for the entire #48's performance,pure domination,led over 500 miles,and when Jimmie Johnson threaded the needle among 3 cars laste in the race as He's making His way back to the front was totally awesome,probably the move of the race. ;)

For the rest of the racing,I'd give it a 7,too many fine drivers a lap or more down overall IMHO.
 
This was a solid race. 48 and 38 and 3 Dodges had the track figured out. The fact that drivers were being put a lap down early did not diminish the excitement of the race. JJs pass was one of the finest I've seen this year. The red flag at the end only added to the thrill as to whether JJ would be able to hold off everyone. I'll grade the race 9.5. :)

The only downer was Bobby hitting the wall and Lil'E keeping the points lead. I would love to know who threw out the ice bag to bring out the one caution. Also, conspiracy theorists want to know if Andretti was auditioning for a job when he braked in front of Ryan to bring out a caution thus keeping Lil'E from going a lap down. :blink:
 
Casey stated in a post race interview that he fully expected to get third... good move for him on the final stop..
 
Glad i didn't waste my time watching it, i did watch the Indy 500 though and thought that was a great race . Much better than recent years. The Charlotte race, although i didn't watch it(kept track of it on race-cast )seemed to be rather dull unless you were a Johnson fan. Sadler had a good run , but when you lead 334 out of 400 laps....to me that is boring. Just my opinion, of course,the dominance shown by the 48 team was quite impressive,but then again that is his track afterall...lol! ;) ;)
 
Didn't watch it, but any car that can lead that many laps has to be a 10.

Race gets a 10.
 
To me, the race was very exciting!!!! I don't need to see
wrecks every 10 or so laps to make a race a good one to watch.
All the passing, and rubbing and bumping that were going on
behind Jimmy was just classy racing. Didn't really understand Newman
bumping JA twice, but his blowing up toward the end made it all
good again! LOL Was really sorry Kasey got loose that last lap and took care of Bobby
but smelly stuff happens.
Surprising how two cars from the same stable can be so opposite!!!
Jeff had a crap car and Jimmy's car could do no wrong!!

Lowe's had quite a weekend!!!!!
I gotta give the race a 9.5+!!!!!
