Enough Is Enough Full Season Championship.

[Blaze]

I still think the following is the most obvious solution:

Uh then you risk SVG winning the championship by just winning all the road courses, and maybe running near the back most of the season. That's why that's a horrible idea.

One less win for Denny and we would be looking at a champion not even top 20 in non playoff points this season.

So you are implying that road course wins don't count the same as the other races?

No? I'm saying that the most wins shouldn't be what crowns a champion....nowhere did I imply such a thing. I was SAYING that SVG could win the championship under that format with 6 wins(if he wins all the road courses in a season) but be below 20th in points because he ran bad everywhere else.. I'd say the same if someone won all 6 Super Speedway races and was below 20th, or just 6 random races at different tracks.

In short. Crown a champion by who gets the most points over the season. Not wins, not who wins the right races. Just who's the best from race 1 to race 36.

Like when Newman won 5 races and Kenseth won only one race but because of points, Kenseth won the title. (like what was suggested before all this back and forth)

Yes..that's what I want.

I was replying to a post, that was saying the champion should be who has the most wins, saying that's not a good idea.

Newman actually won 8 races compared to 1 win for Kenseth. But Newman also had a lot more races where he finished close to 40th position. Refer to the link at the end of this post.

I favor a full season point system but that doesn't mean that the old system was perfect. I would like to see more bonus points for winning and there should be a larger gap from P2 to P1, than P40 to P39.
I think the awarded points should be progressive to increase more between the top postions.

But even with the flaws, it would still be better than any of the resets.

I don’t know man, we could just call it the Ricky Bobby Cup.

I would like the full season point system to be restored as previously stated.

But they could still do a 10-race tournament like or similar to the current one. They could even pay more money to win the reset tournament.

Just don't use the resets to determine the championship. The historical record deserves better.

The historical record deserves better.

That is one of the saddest parts of this whole years of the playoff game show contest mess. They threw away almost a whole generation of driver statistics on who can win the lottery, I don't care if it is 10 races or the mess they have today, it just different shades of B.S. to me at this point.
