Playoffs Should Never Be a Part of Dirt Late Model Racing

[Rocky]

I have been that guy. Made a $7500 to win race this summer because there weren’t enough for a B-main. I went and looked at the pit board, saw that I was starting directly behind Russell Erwin because we qualified under sunlight... yeah I did one lap took my $400 and went and bought a Mountain Dew from the concession stand.

The Chase is just about the only NASCAR-related thing I still watch. The rest of it is almost dead to me, which is sad because I grew up loving it and continued to for decades. If they ever drop the playoff format, I’ll probably be done with the sport for good.

We don’t need it in dirt late model racing. My interest is much more in the individual races. The Lucas and WoO points chases are of secondary interest, or less. I mean seriously, other than a handful of drivers, does anybody really care who wins these points championships?

Maybe the fans of those guys care about those championships. I don’t care.

I don't really pay attention to the points in any dirt series. I just watch the races and a good race is all I car about.

I kind of agree. I find myself more interested in the individual races with dirt racing, not so much the championship chase. Although, I have been interested in the WoO Sprints championship with only 8 points between Schatz and Sweet going into the final weekend. Same with last year on Marlar/Sheppard on the WoO late models. Does the interest go up if it is close or is it marketed when it's close? Hard to market a championship chase when a driver has it all but locked up in weeks of advance. I do like that Lucas Oil marks the points leader with the orange spoiler.

Maybe we should have the drivers switch to electric motors and go around the track clockwise 🤔

Agreed.
Points racing and calculating points and everything involving points absolutely bores me to tears. I can't watch Nascar these days because they talk about points constantly.
Points are dull as dishwater.

NASCAR is planning on adding electrification in 2022, possibly with a push-to-pass button.
