so what is going to be the new points system?

Versant as an independent spinoff from Comcast can buy, sell or merge with other networks more easily than they could when part of Comcast. Who knows what direction they will go.
 
The change to the fastest lap rule.

The entire point of this is to sell.

NBC transferred NASCAR rights to Versant because NBC no longer has any use for NASCAR. They have NBA and MLB back.

This is the objectively correct answer. There are no alternative answers which are valid because this is the only one. We can argue about that even and it changes nothing about whether or not this is true. We've even discussed it already at length on this forum with you, @HoneyBadger, indicating your displeasure with this arrangement and the negative implications of NASCAR being cross marketed with the WNBA and PGA as Versant has openly stated their intentions to do.
 
Just the fact that he says it, knows it and accepts it I can move on with it. His losses in whatever version of the post season system nascar used is why I hated it at the time. It’s like the closure I needed to move on . Signed a fan who says Jeff Gordon is still his racing hero.

Did they run all of this **** past Mark Martin, or is he back in retirement mode now that he has saved the sport?

Can we expect your Mark Martin obsession to continue through the season, or will some other metaphorical squirrel catch your attention?

The fact that you don't like Mark baffles me, he essentially retired as a Toyota driver.............

I don't love that he disappeared until he was stroked by the Hall. I don't love that he speaks for "the fans." I think that Mark is fueled by attention, and overestimates his reach. I don't love that he says he is fighting for something, and "we" (not the capitalized WE) won. It is hard to watch. I just want him to go away....but I doubt that he will....already started the full season championship crusade to gain more approval. For the life of me, I don't understand why he cares so much about the championship....it's not like a change in the system is going to get him his.....I also don't like the way he got after Joey when he bumped him out of the way for his first win.....I don't love the higher moral plane narrative that he has used his whole career----didn't like it with MTJ either.

Your gripe with Hendrick at least has roots in something illegal he actually did, however distant. It appears you're taking shots at Martin only because you don't agree with him. Very presidential.

Appreciate the validation on my Felon crap.....NASCAR hasn't gotten a hold on what "fans" are thinking in forever. That is why we are where we are...but all of a sudden, Mark has that figured out. It annoys me. Not sure that I have taken any shots at him personally....just don't like the way he shows up these days. Nothing to see here really. Not sure that I give three ****s about what the Felon did, but I give several ****s about his power and influence in this sport which was noticeably absent (as was Gibbs) when Denny et al. decided to make things better for them. The Felon also brags about others developing drivers for him. He's in bed with Jim, and has screwed him royally. Nice guy.
