im not an idiot, i know it wont happen, just saying thats the only way i would sign off on itOriginally Posted by Vegas39
Yes agree 100%. Casey Mears a good example. How fast would Geico pull sponsorship dollars if that was case
Worst idea I may have ever heard in a sporting playoff. I'm just stunned still. I would have bet anything this wouldn't happen. At least not now or anytime soon. I'd like to hear what drivers think.
I mean talk about EVERY team pulling out any strategy to pull out a WIN. Good and bad teams. Lots of dumping to win gonna happen to if a driver in 2nd doesn't have a win I'll tell u that for a fact
And it's just gonna make my job of picking winners that much tougher as well.
Glad as I didn't bet championship odds either. Talk about a pure and total crapshoot. Unbelievable.
I mean the chase has worked out GREAT the last 5 years for the most part imo. Several have came down to last 2-3 races. Hell Edwards and smoke had to go to a tiebreaker to see who won the title a few years ago!?!? And really if Jimmie had a problem 3 were in the mix last season @ homestead
i just don't understand
RaceHub just came on FS1.
Lets see if we can bet some angry comment from these drivers and commentators tell the truth. How anybody could like this is beyond me.
Besides last east race will be exciting, but not fair and not worth the other 35 races
And if u win a race during the chase u automatically make it to next round even if u wreck the other races of that block? Unreal.
Win Daytona 500 and what's the rest of the season even mean? Sucks. And this is gonna change who wants to win and who cars if ur already in with a win from first 26 races.
And anybody that bets championship odds after this announcement is off their rocker imo. Talk about ZERO value. Wow. Only point would be to take a longshot I guess but still a waste of $ imo.
Even going ong into last race is a crapshoot. I hope nobody bet anything. Cause odds on them ALL should skyrocket. And I mean by a lot.
have a few small futures but yes this really screws those.
Could have a champion not win a chase race
. Yep.have a few small futures but yes this really screws those.
Could have a champion not win a chase race
Well nothing u can do if u already bet on them.
Jimmie s a odds to win are worthless to below 3-1. Hope no1 took anybody near those odds. I wouldn't bet anybody under 20-1. Dega being a cut off spot is totally brutal too
Yes the dega race will be insane . Imagine if ragan in chase and wins dega again ha ha
I hope he does again ill have him. I owe taking him for the next 5 years min. Haha
at least on plate tracks
Actually might make it easier..i think we would all agree that after 3 races the 12 left have a shot. After 6 most likely only 2 outsiders...3rd leg is martinsville texas and phoenix...martinsville is 3 guys to win...hambo jefe and jj. Texas can add happy and brad. Phoenix cand add carl...off to final will be jj, hambo, jeff and harvick...easy peezy.
Some one save this
ok was just reading under this new system had it been in place last year your champ would've been Dale jr

It has taken me a while to post, after sounding off on facebook and twitter. This is the dumbest format I have ever seen in NASCAR. As a live long fan, I am disgusted. It may work 1-2 years, but it's going to blow up in NASCAR's face when you have someone like Jimmie, Kyle, or Matt that wins 10 races and dominates the season. Yet they lose the championship to someone like Dale Jr (who I pull for and finished just 1 spot outside the "Championship Round") at Homestead with a solid 3rd place finish. This is 10 times worse than what the BCS was to college football.
Whoever thought of this must of been crazy.championship bets no point at all unless youre betting kyle or matt
I totally disagree but we shall see. But no way it's easier imo. Exact opposite.Actually might make it easier..i think we would all agree that after 3 races the 12 left have a shot.

picking winners at at every race will get tougher than ever.
Oh oh well I'll just have to adapt and see what happens. Guys that win early in season could care less to push it for wins after they get 1. Then every hobo will pull out any strategy no matter how risky to win. And gonna be a lot of pissed of drivers getting wrecked for wins
