NASCAR considering overhaul of points system,Chase
NASCAR is planning a vast restructuring of the points system in its premier Sprint Cup Series that would greatly emphasize winning races and feature eliminations in its Chase playoff system, according to multiple sources briefed on the plan this week.
In addition to expanding the Chase field from 12 to 16 drivers, a win in the season’s first 26 races would virtually ensure a driver entry into the championship Chase. If there were more than 16 winners, the 16 with the most wins and highest in points would gain entry.
Once the Chase field was set, a round of eliminations – similar to the NCAA tournament – would take place after the third, sixth and ninth race of the Chase, culminating with the championship determined by a winner-takes-all season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
This is the stupidest goddamn thing I've heard of in a while.Well other than obummercare bending the cost curve down but I digress.This should pack em in at the track and I also predict TV veiwership will skyrocket.They should get a new monkey to throw the darts at the idea board.
I have a great idea maybe they should throw footballs to each other during the race or dribble a basketball or incorporate in another way some stick and ball type activities.The possibilities are endless.If it's stupid and gimmicky believe me NASCAR has thought of it.
