What if every race win during the regular season is a "pass" through 1 race of the playoffs. Restructuring the playoffs so that the bottom finishing playoff driver without a "pass" each race is eliminated.
Just a quick thought.. idk if it's a good idea lol
I liked the 10 race format.. but there's something about seeing a team elevate when it's time that is very satisfying to me. I think every driver who has won under this format is a deserving champion and it has been more fun to watch than in previous years.
I was mainly pointing out that his season and speed aren't as bad as it seems. The numbers don't always tell the whole story which is why until that point I also had not mentioned Larson because thats not the point.
I think top 16 should be in on points and that's it.. once we hit playoffs then...
17.1 is in fact a championship season in 2024 though.. it just happened lol.. they were slow for a while but you cannot deny he was faster in the second half of the season.. and then went on to win 3/10 playoff races.
I understand.. but I disagree that the results in february-june should matter...
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?! 😅
Honestly though.. I have way more fun watching the cut off races. I enjoy when the drivers go harder for stage wins and stage points. I like the idea of a team having to step up when it really matters. I like that it requires damn near equal parts luck and skill. I...
NASCAR: Changes from a season long points system 20 years ago
Fans today: For some reason think the full season still matters.
There are basically 2 seasons per season... the first 26 are to set yourself up and that all becomes irrelevant once we hit playoffs. It doesn't matter where you...
Yeah well I doubt many more would tune in if they knew their drover had no chance over the last 1/3 of the season.. or are we not directly competing with football?
I struggle to find value in November from the results of a race run in April or May. A season long championship seems like nonsense to me. I'm surprised so many people seem to have liked it so much.
..and there's a bunch of people out there thinking it matters where someone finishes in the Daytona 500 when it comes to crowning a champion. It's an outdated system and it's never coming back.. people love to say things like "this isn't how motorsports should work" but don't really take into...
Do people not understand that nascar fans from 2-3 generations ago are no longer the target audience? Sorry old fellas but nascar is not making changes for you guys. It's not about what you want anymore. Nobody cares about how they ran races 30 years ago. They need to appeal to the next...
I just want to say this because I can..
The only drivers with more championships than Joey Logano are Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Jimmie Johnson, and Jeff Gordon.
