Jeff Gluck (@jeff_gluck) has asked all of Twitter for their honest opinions on the day after every NASCAR Cup Series race since 2016. It's a very simple question really. "Was it a good race?" There are only 2 answers (Yes/No), but people have different criteria for what they consider to be a "good" race. Was the decision based solely on the quality of the racing? Did their favorite driver win? Did NASCAR make a questionable officiating decision? Did the race go green until one late caution that made for an exciting final restart(s)? Did an unpopular driver win? As we can see, there are many factors that can go into this 'Yes' or 'No' decision. Thankfully, Jeff has saved all of the results in a table on his website along with some additional information, including: number of votes, winner, track type, day/night, and time of race. So, I'm going analyze this data, try to make some interesting interactive visualizations, then share them through Streamlit.
