Busch And The Championship

[A ron]

One big reality show as I have said 100 times on here. Let Dale Jr. retire and they are bankrupt. Since 2004, a Championship now means the stars aligned your way the last few races. Before 2004,to win the title, your team had to be the best ALL YEAR LONG. 2001 Nearly all the events were on national networks. Now the majority are on third rate cable networks. Mudslinger, while this may be considered a team sport, it is a Driver's Championship, not the owners championship. That's what has gotten Nascar in the shape that it's in: TRYING TO BE LIKE OTHER SPORTS.

To win 4/5 of the last races, and go from LAST in points to 32nd. is pretty impressive. And i've never been a shrub fan. He deserves to be in the Chase. Anyone whos says different is an idiot/fool, or both.

I agree that it's awesome. Kyle is the man. His accident was unfortunate, but the fact that you can skip half the season and still win the title hurts the integrity of not only the sport as a whole but to each of those first 26 races. Before 2004, every race counted the same. Now, you can win 35 races and lose the title to someone who wins one-or even none. Would be just as well off putting 43 drivers names in a hat and drawing the driver who wins.

Let me also add, this switching network crap really gets me. I had to upgrade my DirecTV ($11.00 extra) to get this NBCSHD channel. I can't stand the race callers. They are wrong about virtually everything that comes out of their ponytailed mouth.

Really?

How big of a idiot/fool or both would consider a championship legitimate when that champion only ran maybe 1/2 the races.

Now that's a special kind of idiot/fool.

A ron, you make wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much sense for some of these idiots/fools.

Take a bow A ron, very good and factual post.

And here's some more food for thought: Say Kevin Harvick gets injured at Chicago this fall and misses the final 10 races, and Busch goes on to win the title. Harvick missed less races than Busch and probably has as many or more points. Where's the integrity in this system?

[A ron]

haha thank you CIRF

[stockcar5]

I'm surprised there is even a post about Nascar anymore. Do you guys really waste your live watching that junk?

[A ron]

Agreed stockcar5

[kidrock]

Yes some of still watch it maybe not like I used to you but, I still do. oh those silly choices we make in life.

When Kyle gets to the 30th position, he'll go ahead of Harvick in points on the chase board...your point is null....

But other then that, I get a big chuckle out of the h8rs of Kyle and NASCAR getting their collective feathers all ruffled...that alone is worth the price of admission...... CIRF "SAYS" he doesn't even watch NASCAR, not being very truthful are we CIRF? if you weren't watching, you'd have no idea, #NASCARWINS LOL

My point wasn't that Harvick would be ahead, my point is that he should be. My point is that this is just another hole in the Chase System. Busch gets the benefit of erasing all those points between 30th and 1st, how is it fair for someone injured in the chase to not get the same. Yes I know those are the rules. Every race should count the same. The Daytona 500 pays more than any race of the year yet it pretty much means squat when it comes to the Championship. You can not be in any right mind and tell me it's okay that a driver can win 35 races and lose to person who averaged 15th.

And as I said earlier, I'm no Kyle hater. He's the man. What he's doing is amazing.

Come n, that isn't even reasonable...when in the modern era has anyone won more then 7... heck 31 could have won the championship and never won a race...something wrong with that too? Aric Amarolia won a race and got in to the chase with a rain win, something wrong with that? Those are all anomalies that happen.... so what, lends itself to the mystique of the race.. Daytona means as much as any other race, ask Joey Lagono or Jr.... you win your in, to the rest its points....I think your confused... everyone in the chase format has the same option as Kyle or anyone else..they set the pressident with Tony Stewart, this isn't a Kow tow to Kyle cause NASCAR screwed up at Daytona, this is something set up a minimum of two years ago with Tony S. ....And personaly, I love that in the last race, its all or nothing you win or finish highest of the four and your the champ...makes for a hell of a show..
