RacingOne Rating
On a scale of one to 10 campsites for title sponsor and big NASCAR supporter Camping World, we'll give Sunday's race a solid nine. By far the best race we've ever seen at Dover International Speedway and definitely one of the top three of the 2008 season. The COT can put on a show at one mile tracks or less and we can only hope that will evolve to bigger tracks, because what we saw at Dover has us wanting more. The odds will be long we get it based on other mid-sized track races this year, but we'll see what happens as it's on to Kansas Speedway next Sunday.
