Not that I necessarily disagree with your choices, but how were these ranked?
Ryan Newman's #1

I hate all short tracks! In my opinion, Richmond’s pretty much the best of all short tracks.

TC, there was no real ranking system used … just a matter of opinion, really (my opinion, that is).
If I’d have to list out the factors, though, I’d probably say that it was a combination of the racing that those tracks provide along with the drama and overall track appeal that come with.
Btw, I’ve added your link to my blogroll on the sidebar.

Newman’s #1, I’m actually the complete opposite. I live for these short-track races, whereas the superspeedways just typically don’t really do it for me. I have to say, though, that I’ve been rather impressed this year with what’s come out of Daytona and Talladega. A few more races like those and I could easily become a fan.
