I did not see much of this race so i do not have much of an opinion, but i can say from what i did see, it was not all that exiting, even though it was a very well known race, for it bieng the first time NASCAR came back to "The Rock".

Note: if you would like me to go back to listing the ENTIRE results, please tell me!  i need you feedback!
Thanks-JT

I personally loved this race.  We saw really good passes.  I even saw 3-wide racing into Turn 1!   Also, The Mercedes Team got its first pole since 1955!  Romain Grosjean and Sebastien Vettel had very good days as well.  Alonso wrestled that twitchy 2012 Ferrari to a solid 9th, while his teamate Massa fell to a 13th place finish.  Overall, i think this was the best race i have seen in a while.

This was a very calm race.  Unlike usual races at Texas there were only 2 cautions, a track record.  Many people complained that the race was boring.  In my opinion, they were right.  Not much passing.

April 14th Race Weekend

This weekend was a very big weekend.  The races included the NASCAR Nationwide series as Texas, the NASCAR Sprint Cup at Texas, The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Rockingham, The GP of China, the IndyCar race at Long Beach, and tha ALMS at Long Beach.

A notable race in that lineup was the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Rockingham.  That was the first NASCAR race at Rockingham since 2003.  Surprisingly though, it semed to me on TV that the stands were slightly empty.  Another notable was the GP of China, where the Mercedes team got its first pole and win since 1955.  Nico Rosberg gave Mercedes the pole and the win.  Michael Shumacher qualifyed second but finished last after he parked the car when a wheel was loose.  Results of the races are coming up.
