Was wondering about who would have the championships with this year's chase, and here they are, couple of surprises

1975 = Dave Marcis
1976 = Cale Yarborough
1977 = Richard Petty
1978,1979 = Bobby Allison
1980 = Cale Yarborough
1981 = Bobby Allison
1982 = Darrell Waltrip
1983 = Neil Bonnett
1984 = Bill Elliott
1985 = Harry Gant
1986 = Dale Earnhardt
1987 = Bill Elliott
1988,1989 = Rusty Wallace
1990 = Dale Earnhardt
1991,1992 = Harry Gant
1993 = Rusty Wallace
1994,1995 = Dale Earnhardt
1996 = Dale Jarrett
1997 = Bobby Labonte
1998 = Jeff Gordon
1999 = Bobby Labonte
2000 = Jeff Gordon
2001 = Tony Stewart
2002 = Kurt Busch
2003,2004 = Jimmie Johnson
2005 = Greg Biffle
2006 = Kevin Harvick
2007 = Kurt Busch
2008 = Kevin Harvick
2009 = Denny Hamlin
2010 = Jimmie Johnson
2011 = Tony Stewart
2012 = Kyle Busch
2013 = Dale Jr

So, Harry Gant would be a 3-time champ, Dale Earnhardt only a 4-time champ, and Dave Marcis would be a champ

So if I counted correctly, only 9 times in the last 39 years would we have had the same champion under this format.
 
Chase formats always seem to get Elliott that second title. Though here not in the years you would expect.
 
We better lay low. You know how some people feel about "what if" champions on here.

Let's go live under a rock :D
 
If you win a race, you get a chase ticket. More wins, more chase tickets. All chase tickets go into a bowl at the end of the year. A scantily clad sprint girl will then draw a random ticket from the bowl.

The sprint girl will hold the winning chase ticket up in the air.

Meanwhile Clint Bowyer is set up 500 yards away with a bolt action 30-06. If he can shoot the chase ticket without hitting the girl, then ladies and gentlemen, WE HAVE A CHAMPION! If not, we move on to the "contender round". You don't wanna know what's in the contender round.

DRAMA!
 
Damn I wish they had the format earlier, biffle and kyle busch would have championships
 
Interesting but as for realism it is about comparable as to what if the races had run on plastic tires.
The finale wouldn't have not been at Riverside for one thing as it was for several of those years.

I am glad they didn't have that BS system then, those titles were a lot more credibilie than the gimmick in place now.

And of course Nascar wasn't as stupid prior to Brian..

El Stupedo may have stumbled on to something. The racing is better this year than it's been in a long time. If that means the championship is bogus, so be it. Now I wont have to watch boring banquets.

The banquet is black tie butt kissing boring with or without a good points battle.
Aside from the eye candy wives it has no redeeming value imo.
 
As exciting as this Chase format has been, this thread makes me very disheartened about it.
