If Hendrick can't get better at Phoenix they may as well just do that. NASCAR does not want to admit that this format only favors winning at the right times/tracks and if last season did not prove that then nothing will. Chase won Texas but would have made the playoffs regardless had he not...

Sorry but I am not buying that for a second. Yes Kyle had other focuses and everyone knows that going in but the 5 car is supposed to be his main priority and that's what we are talking about here. People work their asses off to get to a top-caliber championship car like that. It's totally...

That's a good point but I think it kind of goes to what I am in saying in that the NBA was facing a lot of controversy about that this year like when the 76ers were resting all their guys and fans were pissed and questioning why they should buy a ticket when the teams are playing that game. I...

I just can't imagine Rick saying it's cool to not run for a championship. Too many people put way too much work in for that. Again - just my opinion. If he ends up allowing it I will eat some crow for sure but I will admit it. I know he technically allowed it last year but that was knowing...

I just disagree - I highly doubt very many watching the 500 will think "hey I am going to check out NASCAR because of that Larson guy." Maybe some will sure but that will have little impact and it's all about obligations to TV and tracks to me. If NASCAR is not doing everything in their power...

Yeah I get that but what I am saying is do you really think that Mr. H will tell Kyle to skip the 600 if it comes up again and miss the chance to run for a cup title? I think not but if I turn out to be wrong I will be the first to admit it. LOL Plus there is nothing wrong with the rules...

LOL. I seriously doubt Mr. H will have Kyle bypass the chance to win a title and prioritize the 500 over the 600. In my view they all race for NASCAR but you are not wrong in that if Kyle wanted to do it all costs and Mr. H was okay with then it would happen regardless of NASCAR's rules. I...

But that's exactly what I am saying. It seems contradictive because it is. NASCAR wants the big names on their big stage. That's why they are allowing others to come in and putting things in place to penalize their guys if they miss a race. It's really not complicated at all and makes...

I'm not sure why it's surprising that NASCAR is taking steps to ensure they have as many big names in their big races as possible. Anyone who is a star in NASCAR (like Larson) that wants to try this just needs to understand that NASCAR should still be their priority and if things don't work out...

Right? I have not looked but he is probably the championship favorite and if not close to it.

Man this is cool. I am so happy for him. There were rumors he was going to return a few years ago I remember. I wonder if this is like an audition and if things go well he might get a more full time ride. I know his health prevented him from running those longer races but always wondered why...

Come on - we have all rewatched some of his stuff on YouTube. Great for NASCAR ratings. If I was more talented in video editing I'd create one of those old style 80's commercials trying to sell a musical collection where the titles of the songs scroll up the screen and have it be all about...

NASCAR needs another Tony Stewart type personality.

Well the good news is NASCAR is considering changes at least.

Must have been fun for you two when they got into it at Fontana. Still one of my favorite all time interviews there with Tony. "I'm gonna bust his ass." "Thank-you Tony." Thank-YOU." Gold.

I can't feel sorry for Larson for any bad luck he had because he had so many other examples of issues of his own making that cost him points. Dude is wheelman for sure but he needs to learn to sometimes realize it's not there and take his foot off the gas and settle for top 5-10 instead of...

For me at least, while I openly admit I don't like Joey I have no issue with him winning. I don't see Byron or Reddick as champions yet and I figured if Blaney won everyone would freak out and be like "here's the next big thing" when in all reality winning a title in this format really does not...

My vote goes to Bell. For me, he is the driver that put the most complete season together as far as getting wins and being consistent all year. I would not argue that hard against Larson either but I really feel like they fell off after Sonoma and despite a few more wins and dominant runs...

Are you saying you would go back to season long points with no playoffs? I want season long points and playoffs but that's just me.

I don't think anyone is disputing that Joey won and won fair and that he is a great driver. What people are questioning is does this format really produce a result where people can look and go = "Yes - That guy was the best this year." There have been controversial winners before like Terry...
