Tyler A. Reddick

The other three didn't have to deal with any points resetting.

I am already cringing at the inevitable reset, and if this continues for Reddick, let's just hypothetical say 10 or 12 win season before the 26, Nascar better hope he does win it alah' Martin Truex Jr. 78 Furniture Row car. A 25 point head-start is nothing in 10 races, all it would take is 1 bad race.

It's all been said before hashed and re-hashed, so not trying to gang up or hammer the points system too much here, but Nascar has altered legacies with this stuff. Jeff Gordon should have more championships than he does based on consistency, 48 JJ 7-time should probably be 5-time (still kicked everybody's ass in that timeframe), Carl Edwards should have at least 1 championship if not more to his credit (basically made him throw in the towel). This is why I look at career win totals and other ancillary statistics like laps led which signals domination versus championships now.

There is a reason why fans campaigned so hard for full season points. It is the most just way to crown a champion. And this was bound to come up again.

Hopefully we can get all the way there on that change in the future.

10-12 wins before race 27 is outrageous and not happening.

If it does, he should steamroll the field in the chase.
 
Richard Petty's 27 wins out of 48 races in 1967 is something that will not be beaten. It is a crazy number of wins. I can definitely see though at the pace Reddick is going to more than double the amount he already has in 5 before the end of the season. The way the Toyota cars are dominating at the moment and really 23Xl and how well they are doing as a team Reddick is a force week to week.
