so what is going to be the new points system?

[acmerocket]

all 36 for points?
last 3?
last 10?

stop for stages with points?
stage point ,but not stop the dam race?
no stages

win and you are in?
or no more of this.

my vote would be count all 36, stage points but dont stop the dam race and no win and your are end.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I assume by 'points system' you mean the championship, not how points are awarded for finishing positions in individual races.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I'm betting 3-3-4

 

[Greg]

It will be another reset band-aid.
A POS by any other name is still a POS.

 

[BobbyFord]

Until the France inheritants are gone, it’ll be schit.

 

[RFChildress]

all 36 with a formal apology for dragging us through this for 20 years.

This is the most relevant NASCAR forum on the internet.
It’s like the France clowns do zero research.

I would hope NASCAR is doing actual market research instead of listening to a relatively small group of fans.

Ah, the good ol' days when Jeff and Jr. would wreck early and the rest of us would have the place to ourselves.

I don't recall ever leaving early for those reasons.

I remember getting breakfast, grabbing a morning beer and watching practice and qualifying…
That was a long time ago.

And practice sessions were cut down at the request of the RTA, not NASCAR. And you just spent months cheering on a team owner against NASCAR.

Being wrong about one subject doesn't make the RTA or NASCAR wrong about everything. This isn't politics.

Doesn't make sense to blame Nascar for everything was the point. Nascar has been run by committee for quite some time, even more so now.

I didn't see @BobbyFord blaming anyone, just stating what used to be.

Me neither but I was headed to the parking lots as soon as the checkered flag waved. I listened to the post race interviews on the headsets running to the car to beat the traffic

 

[RayinTX]

33-3
Stages remain
No feeling about the win and in

You have yet another case of selective reading.

You just have to read his other posts. He’s always blaming NASCAR and the France family for everything.

I try to leave other posts in the discussions where they were posted. I've had many cases of being violently opposed to someone's position in one thread, and having their back in another.

We can debate this playoff nonsense until we are blue in the face. Nobody can convince me that who ever owns NBC this week isn't involved in the playoff nonsense process along with Nascar. Whoever came up with the playoff excuse are for the children viewers needs their heads examined. F-1 isn't doing flip flops with their points system, they have plenty of younger fans, and we Nascar fans have had 20 years of this nonsense in one form or another and they don't have the numbers. That should be their sign.
Pretty sure there won't be a peep out of the top 3 or 4 teams who manage to have their cars in the playoffs every year also.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

My, I was off on an interesting jag last evening.

 

[Conover]

Well, my “bold prediction” is that it will change somewhat, with tweaking on the playoff structure and races included, and without a “leading car takes all” finale.

Stating the obvious. Other than that who knows? I’m just waiting for the shoe to drop and the start of Daytona stuff.

 

[Revman]

Using F1 as your model.....that is so good right there.

My money’s on this sadly. I also would bet, NASCAR’s tv overlords demand some type of playoff as well as nascar honchos can’t admit failure in going back to a full season championship. Points resets with 3/4 of the season done just get everyone’s competitive juices flowing

I'd take the 2004 format over this silliness. But USA Sports wants this playoff elimination drama.
