I totally missed the race and hoping to watch on the NBC App later. I’m floored absolutely floored Harvick missed the championship race next week. Incredible, it shows what an incredible WWE gimmick inspired way this sport has crowned its champions since 04. This was bound to happen sooner or later I guess...your best driver during the season gets jobbed in an effort to produce “Game 7 moments.” They tried to replicate 1992 but they missed the point in that 1992 happened organically in a much more fair points system. The Chase For The Cup/Playoff points system has been a gimmick, joke, stupid and hokey...I will die on this hill. Feel bad for Harv, he once again has a career year but no championship berth to show for it. He’s in good company with this system screwing Jeff Gordon many times and Carl Edwards too. To me....you can talk about aero packages, tracks/schedules and the new cars but the biggest problem NASCAR has is the way their crown their champion. I’d love to see them go back to the Winston Cup full season points system but emphasis on More points for wins. Alas that’s another discussion for another day, waiting for that nbc app to load the race later.
