I like that it creates weird bedfellows and listening to all the driver strategies trying to find a partner over the radio but I dont like that they cannot control their own destiny. However the restrictor plates this year have produced some surprise winners and close finishes so some good some bad. <br /><br />Sonoma was still better!

No stars!<br /><br />Tandem racing is a Chinese fire drill, a pot luck crap shoot, a typical NASCAR committee product which is ruining true racing. <br /><br />Get rid of the restrictor plates and knock down the banking at Talledega.<br /><br />Return to traditional NASCAR racing1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-66590091492017934042011-07-05T08:02:44.532-05:002011-07-05T08:02:44.532-05:005 Stars?

Easily ranks in the bottom 5 races of the season in terms of entertainment. I give it 2 stars at best.<br /><br />Nascar needs to let them run 15-20 MPH faster so they can't stay hooked up in the corners...that will lead to some more exciting racing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-27302929182560151662011-07-04T18:24:00.395-05:002011-07-04T18:24:00.395-05:00If that was a 5 star race then the scale must be u...If that was a 5 star race then the scale must be up to 100. Why not just put all the car numbers in a hat and draw the winner.

So here we are one year later and look who's hooked up in a tandem draft... You got it, Bad Brad and Kyle... I was waiting for Harvick and Kyle to hook-up but then I had to think again... LOL!<br /><br />I'm sorry I wasn't able to watch the end of the race live. Watching on tape and knowing the outcome sure cuts down on the intrigue...

This is one of the extremely few races we've ever seen where more than half of the field led a lap, and they weren't under caution. There was intrigue for me throughout, whereas Kurt Busch led all of last week during similar long green-flag runs.<br />Thanks!jmayer1843https://www.blogger.com/profile/03979602470480690327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-34126025844521495542011-07-04T10:35:41.254-05:002011-07-04T10:35:41.254-05:00While I won't be as harsh as Anon was, I would...While I won't be as harsh as Anon was, I would still give this race 3.5, 4 stars, at most. Thanks for the link to your rating system. <br /><br />I felt that the racing was borderline boring during the mid-section. Green flag pit stops, and the new style drafting create a LOT of lead changes.... not actual competitive passes on the track.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-9088270552340124412011-07-04T09:15:54.160-05:002011-07-04T09:15:54.160-05:00Anonymous - Click on "5 Star Rating" to ...Anonymous - Click on "5 Star Rating" to find the rating system and see which category describes this race the best.jmayer1843https://www.blogger.com/profile/03979602470480690327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-68492940811817362692011-07-04T00:10:10.928-05:002011-07-04T00:10:10.928-05:00You are blind or clueless.
