Fixed.
What format? Have you researched all of NASCAR's Championship formats?
I don't follow DNF's much, so I thought that number was a little high. I was really surprised when I saw Elliott's DNF number, but that is for his whole career. Even if Larson has that many wins, 17 DNF's is way too much imo. He's the true definition of checkers or wreckers.
That’s where a good crew chief comes in. He will help keep the driver in check when needed.
Sorry, those 30 DNF's aren't for his whole career?
Exactly...this also would apply to point penalties so the crying about Martin finishing second in 1990 makes no sense to me.
Tbf, while I fully believe Byron is the best and most deserving this year and a future multi time champion, and he has finally broken out and proven it, I'll admit he may still not be quite ready. As was said last year with Bell in the final 4, they have to lose one to really learn how win one. This is kind of feeling like that now for Byron honestly, so no surprise if Larson wins. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Hard to disgree with your logic.
Lack of mistakes. He has the fastest pit crew and they need to be flawless also. Larson won the spring Martinsville so they have a good book on the track this week. He's a threat to win that race.
I agree. If you're going to tell me every day how great he is, then I expect fewer unforced errors. I have always been very hard on drivers and teams making dumb mistakes, whether they are my favorites or not. One of the things I have always preached since my days as a youth baseball player; "Don't EVER beat yourself. Make your opponent go out and beat you".
The Hendrick cars have the speed this year. Rudy is a good crew chief for Byron. I think Byron needs a bit more aggression. He is going to have to take it away from Larson or whoever is in the way at Phoenix.
Eh, besides that, most of his crashes were on plate type tracks. Chastain took him out while he was leading the race, Hamlin did it twice.just think how could Larsons numbers would look if dennis wasnt on the track
^^ This all day everyday
Yeah this format, win and you are in, was designed to reward hard racing. It weeds out pretty fairly drivers who got a lucky win in the regular season by the eliminations in the lower rounds. The downside for some holding on to the nostalgic past formats is that it pretty much wiped out the who is the GOAT ratings by this new format. There are a number of sheets on the web of the "old" points system rankings.
The counter to that is I'm glad you are answering for yourself. When you look at the stands today just say to yourself, look at all of these idiots in the stands and at home watching this race, it will give ya a false sense of superiority from your recliner . lol. Remember when you are pointing a finger at them, you have four other fingers pointing back at you.
Not true. But you do the research
What are you talking about? Most of the tracks have torn down a third or more of their grandstands and Still can't sell out, and TV numbers are nowhere near what they were in the early 2000's. MIS for instance took about about 1/3 of a mile of grandstands that were full TWICE a year 20 years ago.
Trolls will go back 20 years into the make believe to make a point lol. Go back a couple more and Nascar was a shadow of what it was, add 5 years and it was over the hump and falling until they got rid of ol' Brian. I wonder why they don't compare to those times lol?
