So much discussion following the Daytona “miracle” for Burton, which shows Nascar’s “win and you’re in” system is a disaster. My ideas are posted below and let’s hear yours. These should be based on retaining the “playoffs” as NASCAR will likely never go back to a pure points system. In my suggestion the regular season champion earns a huge deserving bonus:
Regular season: No more “win and you’re in”. Maintain current points schedule for finishing and stage wins, but race winner a large bonus in points. How much? Whatever makes sense to make it significant. Let’s say 25 points via a poster’s recommendation in another thread.
REGULAR SEASON CHAMPION: Make this mean something. The regular season champion is automatically in the CHAMPIONSHIP RACE as one of 4 drivers.
Playoffs: Maintain the same format as current “win and advance” including the bonus points for winning. While they are not relevant to advancing in the first 6 races they could play a big part in the final 3. Championship race remains as currently done.
Those are my ideas…let’s hear yours!
