Can't hate Love, he just won the system, but you can absolutely hate the system.

I don't even know what you say if you're Zilisch. Dominate for eight straight months and put together an inarguably championship deserving season and a lose it to a nonsense format concocted in the interest of media profit. Gutting.

Walking back to my car right now... Here is a random thought- wonder what Ryan Newman is thinking right now? He showed NASCAR this is a complete crapshoot a decade plus ago. NASCAR is just playing Russian roulette if they keep this stupid form of playoffs

Don't forget the two has to go thru inspection yet.

That release from NASCAR today confirmed their keeping some bastardized postseason.

We’re at the mercy of a media company nobody has ever heard of that owns a bunch of dying cable channels nobody has ever heard of (once they’re rebranded) and is focused on women’s sports.

NASCAR has nobody to blame but themselves. They’ve sold out the identity of their sport. They deserve all the backlash. And the continued decline in popularity and viewership.

He drove circles around them all year and he gets nothing.

It is the equivalent of Nascar proudly taking a dump on the drivers and the fans.

A disrespect for the work of the competition and the intelligence of the fans.
They dont even believe in their product enough to avoid the self inflicted degradation.

In what world is this a fair way to crown a champion...not one I live in.
Connor Z - 10 wins, 19 top 5's, 22 top 10's
Jesse L - 2 wins, 8 top 5's, 21 top 10's

If one trend continues, William Byron will be the champion tomorrow night.

Anyone know what that is?

The 24 car last won the championship 24 years ago. I’m hoping that’s a sign.

Jesse Love earned it but what a gut punch. I just turned to an actual game 7.

Yeah it would have been a really good race, Love would have won his second race of the season and we all know Zilisch was the champion...see.. no headache.

 

[donthaveanickname]

At least Love drove a great race and didn't just win it in a late restart.

Can't blame him for using the system to his advantage. It's not his fault champions are crowned the way they are, the playoffs are older than Jesse is.

 

[BobbyFord]

So the guy with 3 wins and 300 laps led on the season is the Champion and not the guy with 10 wins and 1,000 laps led.
Buncha clowns run this “sport.”

 

[Mispeedway15]

It was a good race! But yes I think we’re going back to the 26/10 format with a “chase”.
