Nascar DOES NOT NEED PLAYOFFS!! Every team competes against every other team for 36 weeks. Motorsports is not like stick and ball sports where you can only compete against one team at a time, so they need playoffs to determine the best team. You are trying to create game 7 moments every single year, but not every season needs to come down to a nail biter. It’ll happen naturally every few years, but when you create fake drama that comes down to the last race, it becomes forgettable. Get rid of these stupid playoffs.

Plus having a boring season like 2000 is not great in modern times.

​​​@@Marko137-em8nxL takes. Playoffs suck, one of the contributing factors that lead to the sports dwindling popularity. Too complicated for casual fans to understand, too inconsistent for hardcore fans. Meanwhile campaigns like Gordon’s 1995-1998 , Larson’s 2021 campaign, harvicks 2020 campaign, MTJ’ 2017 campain and Johnson’s 2006-2010 are getting celebrated today

Please can someone tells me how the playoffs work?

All I know is if a driver wins a single race during regular season is he automatically enters playoffs.

Basically each playoff round is 3 races, if a driver that is in the playoffs wins in these 3 races, then they’re automatically advanced into the next round. If you don’t win, then you have to earn enough points in these 3 races to stay above the playoff cutline and if you don’t earn enough points, then you’re eliminated from the playoffs. For the next round the playoff bracket is decided by the amount of points a driver has earned in the last 3 races that were in the previous round. Then it’s just the same formula until the championship race in phoenix where 4 drivers compete for the championship and whichever driver who is competing for the championship finishes ahead of the other 3 drivers, then they win the title. Hope that helps:)

Why not just make the final race of the playoffs have 3 races on the same track.
