You could be 16-0 in the NFL (the most popular sport in America) and not assured a spot in the Super Bowl. As a true fan (which most of us are), that race was much more intriguing to watch than what the we'll see in Charlotte in a couple of weeks. The champion is already crowned, so why even have the race? Why haven't the moaners and groaners realized that it's not all about them. The format was presented to the drivers prior to the season and there wasn't lack of drivers signing up racing all year for the big prize. Sure, I would have liked to see RTJ win the championship, but he has won more than $1,000,000 this year. Guess what.....I bet he'll run Lucas again next year!
