Then Byron would be guaranteed to win unless his race was catastrophic. That wouldn’t be very exciting honestly. But to go along with this idea, do that exact thing but make the champ 4 its own 3 or 4 race round. So there’s a mini season of their own to duke it out.

@Dave Hollis Yeah, EVs are meant for the typical douchy yuppies who think they’re saving the environment every time they drive them.

No one would watch, people who drive electric cars are the same who wait outside for the new iPhone and people who watch NASCAR would never watch EV racing

​​@John Haas No, it’s not. Since you’re such a know-it-all of everything, why don’t you explain to us how the playoff format works? Go on, we’re waiting…

It’s like they want to piss off their fan base.

I agree with every word you said. NASCAR big wigs just can’t admit they’re wrong in certain areas just like politicians.

@Stephen Holloway I remember “Rocket Man’s” season and it was great as far as wins go, but, he was a prime example of the term “wreckers or checkers”! Along with 8 wins (incredible!), he had 7 DNF’s (also incredible). The points system worked to crown the best driver for the season. Trying to compete with the NFL???? Been downhill ever since.

@tobylou8  It’s not like they were the only ones that wanted the points system to change though. Remember some fans thought that Ryan should had won just because he had the most wins that year. Besides there was people who didn’t think that Matt should have won the championship that year because of his 1 win. It’s not like it was just the Frsnce Family alone is to blame for the change. Maybe the anti Kenseth fans sent them letters or emails, NBC, TNT, and/or Nextel could had talked them into it as well. I’m only saying in this case it probably wasn’t just the France Family that made the call far as behind the scenes goes.

He got to say “Diverse” so that all his friends know he’s a good person!!! LOL

@Stephen Holloway Because the France family thought they could compete with the NFL and College football! No, really, they thought that! A “Playoff” system would keep people from watching football and stay tuned for racing. Seriously, they really did believe that! They also didn’t like Kenseth winning a title in 2003 with only 1 win because he was a model of consistency. They wanted winning to matter more. The Irony is that the winning-est driver this year may not win the Cup and a driver with the least amount could walk away with the title. If that happens, expect more fans to walk away from the sport.
