Best Race: NASCAR @ Kentucky, just for the fact they ended up showing that what NASCAR has been trying with the cars for years is shit, and what they had that day is the best thing they had in years. Also I notice a lot of people are voting Indy @ California. I can't in good faith vote for it. Sure, it was exciting, but I just do not like the Indy guys running around like the NASCAR guys at Daytona and Talladega. Still think back to Vegas in 2011.
