@Ben Longsure and that worked pretty good huh
]]>the system now is to get a gm car to be the champ ONLY
]]>I actually agree with you. In fact, he should’ve won the regular season championship DESPITE the fact that both William Byron and Martin Truex Jr. tied in points for the regular season (if you include bonus points).
]]>@The Great Baron O Beef DipThat was the opposite; he did 04 to 2016 with the current thing. He also made 2012 without playoffs as well.
]]>@S.KullRandomNot Kenseth’s fault; he did ehat he had to do. This is on Brian France and those who were around him as well as Steve Phelps and those in charge right now for not preventing it and changing it, respectively.
]]>@The Great Baron O Beef DipThat was doing the playoff system in older seasons (mainly the Chase era and a few years before it).
]]>Imo it should be a season long thing, but with the current points system. Do stage points as well, but get rid of stage cautions.
And if they really feel the need (even though there isn’t) to make some sort of playoff, I agree on a ten driver chase-like system. I’d keep the points system and stage points without cautions, and wouldn’t do any sort of “win and you’re in” crap; the top ten in points make it, and if someone outside the top ten close enough to the leader they get added as well, similar to the 400 point thing in the OG Chase. The points are completely re-set and the top 10 is tied, while whoever got in on the “close enoygh to 1st without being in the top 10” gets re-set to that points distance (for example, if the top 10 gets put at 4000 points and the 11th guy was 42 behind the leader, then he’ll be re-set at 3958 points). And then it’s a race till the end.
]]>Without a doubt the Latford system isn’t perfect, as you point out. It rewards getting a points lead and then driving defensively to protect it. In other words, why risk going for a win when you can finish, say, ninth and then move on? But the one thing it does reward is consistency. And if that is the metric one uses to define the best driver of the year, then it works remarkably well.

2nd-320
3rd-300
