The caution wasn’t his fault but it put him into a situation where he frequently fails. Boohoo this format all you want, but Dennis doesn’t have a champion’s mindset.

Dennis is a consistent choker. More of the same on display.

It’s certainly a nail biter.

Negativity also sucks.

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

To me, this is a damning indictment of how broken the funding structure of the sport is. If Denny Hamlin can’t find funding, it’s a bleak landscape.

NASCAR consolidating the rights before the 2001 season made this possible. When the tracks had to individually negotiate TV deals, the partners couldn’t demand these kind of changes.

The networks demanded expanded playoffs in every other sport. Networks love playoffs.

“Changing points formats results in different champions” Great deduction and wrong thread.

Corey Heim and Connor Zilisch are the best drivers in their respective series, but that doesn’t translate to being champion under the system we have. And there are times when the best driver wouldn’t win under a full season system. Mechanical failures and Rick Ware Racing drivers are an ever...

And you have just found a flaw that would be present in any system. I would prefer a full season format, but I also acknowledge that the playoffs are also a legitimate way to crown a champion. Everyone starts the year with the same set of incentives. I like watching drivers and teams respond...

Why don’t we just have a full season system that gives the trophy to the guy with the lowest average finish?

We are all very aware of 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup Champion, 10 race winner, Rusty Wallace.

Gibbs and HMS It’s like a Yankees/Dodgers World Series.

Ross Chastain is in the best spot right now

NASCAR is also a giant corporation, not the family-owned general store on Main Street.

NASCAR’s issue is that they see this stuff as a feature, not a glitch. They want the chaos of it all.

Brendan Gaughan and Davey Allison would like a word. Some of these things, like the existence of idiots, is endemic to auto racing. Sometimes things happen outside of the driver’s control. If Hendrick engines hadn’t been unreliable at Talladega in 2002, Jimmie Johnson could have been a rookie...

Some of these people stub their toes on their bed posts and blame the playoffs, I, myself, yelled “****** playoffs” while stuck in rush hour traffic on Friday.
