^I thought the new engine being the hang-up for potential new manufacturers entering the series meant it wouldn't be a spec motor. If it was, why would they care how many horsies it makes?

How is Carl Edwards a Hall of Famer? Even by lax NASCAR standards, he shouldn't have been elected based on his self-imposed shortened career and lack of a Cup championship.

I think they're stuck between a rock and a hard place on this one given all the race manipulation last year. If the same thing happens this season then they'll be forced to change the format.

^Boooooooooo

I don't really care what the playoff system is at this point. I just wish the broadcasters would stop bringing up the point standings every two seconds and showing the +/- cutline graphic for half the race.

Eliminate the "win and you're in" rule for both regular season and playoffs, cut the playoff field back to 12 with three rounds of three races each.

^NASCAR should give it up and end the season in September.

The best way to determine a champion is most overall wins. Tiebreaker would be total points.

^But they do have the most money...coincidence?

Yippee, now let's get to the playoff rule changes, and God forbid, more horsepower.

Just so we're clear, the "innocent until proven guilty" principle only applies in criminal court. In civil court, the burden of proof is much lower.

^At least re-adopt the name to describe NASCAR's post-season. Calling it the "playoffs" doesn't distinguish it from team stick-and-ball sports which have little in common with motorsports.

Fox isn't only on cable.

^Yikes...and every Xfinity race is on network TV. I still can't believe the Coke 600 is streaming only.

They should at least eliminate the "win and you're in the next round" rule during the playoffs. Whoever wins the first race in the round of 8 has the unfair advantage of being able to ignore the next two races and put all time and effort into Phoenix.

Sunday was a true indictment of the playoff format. Something must change systemically. Suspending crew chiefs and spotters isn't going to do the trick.

I have high standards for Miami. 9
