It's criminal

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Yes, artificial excitement is criminal. It doesn't matter if you bought it. It still distorts the history of the sport.

This thinking is exactly why the rulebook is so screwed up. It has been revised the last 8 years based on commercial availability. (Everything is for sale)

If a nose or roof is available, it's legal.

Rumley device wasn't for sale, so it wasn't allowed to remain legal.

Air shocks are legal because a chassis manufacturer had hundreds of thousands of dollars of inventory on the shelf.

Every sport has playoffs. The best team doesn't always win. We are in that era. I am old but not set in my ways. I have no problem with making things more entertaining for the fans. What on earth is wrong with that?


History being messed up? History is always messed up then. Four drivers going for the prize is added entertainment.

What's wrong with that??? Taking away what Ricky has earned (points) and giving them to others so they can all be even with only one race to settle the championship is liberal BS. The others want to be closer in points? EARN IT!!!

This sounds like a step closer to the WOKE era ! ! Hope it works out better for Lucas than it did for Butt Lite ! !

Denny Hamlin spoke to this very thing on his podcast for Nascar's playoffs. When it comes down to 1 track, the drivers who excel at that track are usually going to win. His solution, and I think a fair middle ground, if you just HAVE to have a playoff is to have it be a round just like the others. Make it 3 races. They want to compare it to other sports. Well you don't play 7 games in the playoffs and 1 in the World Series. You don't play 1 Superbowl and 3 games in the Conference Championship. The format essentially stays the same in the playoffs for all sports (and I know some have a different best of formula depending on the round). Why not have 2 seasons. Run half the races, and award a champion in that half, then reset and run a second season. Crown another champ. Then if you want, have the DTWC where you take the top 2 or 3 from each season, (more if you have the same guys in the top in both) and let those guys run a winner take all super championship type deal.

What was ever wrong with the accumulation of points over the entire season? Has always seemed that driver should be the champion, regardless of the car type or the racing surface.

[Josh Bayko]

If the champ was decided on one race, it should be at a track that none of them have ever turned a lap on. Some track that is a modified or sprint track that doesn’t ever have late model specials. That way nobody has any advantage.

What was wrong is, as one poster stated, it didn't include liberal bullsht.

We don’t agree on much but I’m 100% on board with you here.

While the playoff deal sucks, this has absolutely NOTHING to do with politics.
