Remember when Jimmy Smith entered extra trucks to stop Brendan Gaughan from winning a Truck Championship? Team manipulation happens in every format.

The final result will be Jeff Gordon getting added as the 5th car.

Rick Hendrick is about to slip a few Benjamins to the 8 team.

I literally called the France family’s hold on NASCAR totalitarian in another thread. NASCAR has a ****** up governance structure and is way too secretive. Of all of their problems, the championship format ranks pretty low on the list.

Aren’t you one of the biggest NASCAR apologists on this forum?

How is it bogus? It’s a fixed set of rules that everyone agrees to when they begin the season. A championship is legitimate when it follows a consistent and agreed upon set of rules. You’re free to not like it but questioning its legitimacy is just silly.

A key part of being a champion in any discipline is performing when it counts. If you and your team **** up, you don’t get to blame the “lottery” or a “gimmick” or whatever the latest buzzword may be.

I said earlier in the thread that Larson had the most raw talent out there.

I guess I don’t subscribe to the dirt worship ideology. If you want to see the best drivers, look at the top of the disciplines, regardless of whether it’s dirt or asphalt, oval or road course.

Some people prefer to focus on one discipline. Dale Earnhardt never raced a sprint car but you’d be a fool not to consider him one of the best racers of all time.

What exactly is it that you want? If you go back to the full season system using the Latford points, Reddick is 2nd in points and very close to the points lead. There’s a Twitter account that tracks these things.

It also costs him races. There are times when he gets too into his own head.

Be careful. A lot of this fanbase calls the championship a “lottery.” In terms of raw talent, Larson is the best in the world.

For ****’s sake people… NASCAR hasn’t had a full season championship in 20 years. Stop whining and move on.

Big Bill had some point systems that makes the playoffs look straight forward. He also presided over an active union busting effort. He built the weird as **** governing structure where one family has a totalitarian hold on a major sporting body.

NASCAR fans are the biggest complainers in sports. I don’t know how the **** to make them happy.

Congratulations to Bobby Allison for his win, which entitles him to a spot in the Championship Four at Phoenix.

I would throw David Stremme in that same pile. I wouldn’t even count his time at Penske as a second chance because Brad also ran like dog dung in that #12. Stremme looked damn good as a Busch Series rookie in the Finch car.

Everyone operates under the same rules. If Kyle can’t close the deal, that reflects on him.

RTA cut their own sack off by not sticking together as a unit. They had leverage, they could have forced NASCAR to negotiate.
