Where is Daniel Trotta telling us we are screwups if we aren't excited about the playoffs.
Enough Is Enough Full Season Championship.
- Thread starter StandOnIt
- Start date
Yeah, it's a nice looking bridge; will you come down to $17 million?
NASCAR execs are on their knees praying both Heim and Zilisch win the titles their respective series. Having one lose would be bad enough, but both of them? They'd have the new format announced before the Xfinity winner finished his burnouts.
Ya know, I could accept the playoff format if NASCAR would drop 'Win and In', playoff points, and points resets after each round.
After 26 races, the top 16 drivers in points are the only ones eligible from here on out. Keep using the points accumulated so far, and using the same regular season points system. Ineligible drivers can still improve their standings but cannot become eligible regardless. After three races, cut the four contenders with the lowest points, regardless of whether they've won. Repeat for rounds two and three.
The system becomes much easier to understand, the season's top four performers will be the only ones eligible at Phoenix, poorly performing eligible drivers will fall down the standings to where they belong, the ineligible drivers aren't locked out from advancing, and the Gerbils get their cutoffs to rave about. It's still too many eligible drivers over too many playoff races for my tastes but I'd take it if that was my only remaining complaint.

A week ahead of time. Doing the work. I have to hand it to you....your effort is relentless. Phoenix is going on as planned. Champions will be crowned....and if it's a Toyota, you are going to hear about it all offseason. Can't be stopped. We'll see though, I have always said that the championship goes through Larson. This is going to be great.
Yeah, but that would be true regardless of the format. Tell me you wouldn't cheer just as loud and long if the champ was determined by a Figure 8 race, or even just pulled out of a hat.
"you can kind of suck all year but bring your best truck to Phoenix and you can win the whole championship" Corey Heim with 11 wins.
Some things are more important than who wins the championship when you have a format that encourages the opportunity for teams who are so so, Heim with a record 11 wins says they pretty much suck all year and they show up at Phoenix and win one race all season and it is the last one (champions?). Revman, no surprise suffers from a lack of perception with the yota blinders. lol.
