Sounds like from what I'm reading the drivers like the idea. I guess we will see how it works out.

Its a shame Bill Jr. doesn't have any intelligent offspring!

It's nothing more that more gobbledygook to go along with all the rest of the silly gimmicks.


I know that it's old but more than ever it's applicable, LOL!!:





They still have the silly qualifying process, they still have the silly playoff system. They'll still give a championship to some guy that didn't compete in 1/3 of the races, etc., etc., etc.

Yeah you have worn it out my friend that's for sure lol

I don't care as long as it makes the racing better but, I doubt it will until they change these cars from being so areo dependant

Ya know, I don't know why anyone really cares? As long as the racing is good, my income is not affected by what ever points system they have... it doesn't affect my life in the least... I just want to watch them race... if it makes them race harder, then so be it, I'll enjoy it that much more... I'm not tied to one driver or team or brand of car... I just want good racing, could not care any less about their point system... as a matter of fact, I didn't even bother to read it, cause it affects me in no way!!!

Kid, I know, I know, but I just couldn't resist. It's just that it fit so perfectly at the moment. LOL!!

The reason I care is because I'm really sad that the days are long gone from when NASCAR Cup racing was such an important part of how many of us spent our leisure time. I really enjoyed it. They have taken most of the joy we used to derive from it away and replaced it with sheer silliness. I do not, nor will I ever, regret the contempt myself and many others hold for where NASCAR is today. It's not some middle aged change resistant guy pining for the good old days, it's the truth.

You make a lot of sense in this post muddy ol' buddy when you ask why anyone should care and it's a legitimate question. You also know we're open minded to all good racing (unlike you), but their feeble, ill conceived gimmickry has sufficiently jaded many of us and I justifiably fear it ain't ever coming back.

I thought some of yall would like to know what theyve 'figured out' for this season. I dont care. Not watching anyway lol. I get updates off a sports app.

At this point, I believe most people have given up trying to understand the point system period, they just watch the races and know better than to think overall accomplishment matters.

Watch the racing...screw the points, they don't affect you one way or the other...Whether they have this point system or the one from five years ago or 15 years ago, it changes nothing.... Did you know the number of points each driver of your go kart races a couple weeks ago? Nope, you didn't, cause you didn't care cause all you wanted was a good batch of racing.... in essence, you can take your holier then thou garbage down the pike cause its just so much hot air... Really hated to see Cousin Carl go, he was one of the 6 or 7 fav's of mine...

GIMMICK GIMMICK GIMMICK GIMMICK !!! I'm sure this latest last ditch effort will have fans beating down the gates to come in ! This will bring in so many people that they will have to bring back all of the bleachers that were hauled away.
