What a mess.
Have there been other years like this, with shenanigans to try and get people into the chase?

Logano had a win Gordon did not.
Don't see how Gordon gets in ahead of him

They set the standard already. 50 points. Originally Posted by yisman

This is starting to get really messy.

Logano ended up 10th in points so his win only gives him a bonus for the Chase. Gordon would have been in 10th which means he wouldn't have needed a win to be in the Chase. Originally Posted by Crony

My 2 cents, for what it's worth...
NASCAR got what it deserved by allowing this can of worms to open years ago when it looked the other way anytime teams worked together in giving each other points,. A point early in the season is worth just as much as a point in the final race before The Chase. Richmond only magnified it.
I feel certain that Bowyer spun on purpose, mainly because in all of his post-race interviews, I never found once where he flatly denied it. He repeatedly danced around the question. At least he's not a liar, I guess.
I found it interesting that Rick Hendrick would pile-on with the rest on this deal. His teams have a history of helping each other to gain points.
While this should end blatant attempts at points-manipulation in the future, it won't eliminate the practice. I think teams will now just work on being more discreet. If the teams of Logano and Gilliland had worked out a deal prior to the race, nobody would've known.Nomination(s):This post was nominated 1 time . To view the nominated thread please click here.

Better call than I would have made, Mike. I was stunned by what they did. Originally Posted by 5mike5

About a third of the field for The Chase is now tainted. There will be even greater controversy if Bowyer, Newman, Logano or Gordon win the title...or if Truex has a dominating final 10 races.
Pretty tough trying to close Pandora's Box years after you've opened it...

i think they were in a very bad/tough situation, BUT they opened a can of worms and they are all out now
