Im almost scared to make this thread, but here it goes...

i give it a 4

It actually looked more like an ARCA race than a cup race, stupid moves, tires blowing up, way too much carnage, Hamlin in the hospital, two red flags, and of course the endless controversy of the finish. I gave it a 3, and I might have been generous by about 2 points.

I honestly have no idea what to rate this race. I'd think the fact that the race winner was cheated out of the win is just bogus.

The only bad thing about the race was the call.

IMO worse than Indy. No matter how bad that disaster was atleast it was handled with some level of decency. Today was was just one of the worst, most corrupt sporting events i've ever seen. This ranks up there with the USA-USSR Gold Medal game and the Colorado-Mizzou 5th down blunder in 1990.

So, pretty much everything I like.

i thought that same thing, but i thought that aside from the tires, it was a decent race. the drama and the Goodyear issues took it down.

I thought the race was ok, the tires did take a little bit away from it, but I gave it a 2 because of the call at the end. I think NASCAR needs to come out and tell everyone WHY they made the call they did.

The race was great! The officiating was a farce.

Would have given it an 8 if Smith won... 2.

It has to be the worst of the worst we have seen. Just look at the overall deal, no one is really happy & celebrating and happy. Smoke is not grandstanding like a winner, the other drivers are pulling away from the decission when ask because they know it is not right, Nascrap is showing just what they really are by taking the position they are taking, the media is fixing to tear Nascrap apart and the fans are getting fed up! So what good is there in it?

At least Nascrap still has Jimmy Spencer on their side, but he may be on a small island!
