No. I thought it would have been hilarious if they all had a big staging duel and no one made final runs lol.
 
Different but not really better.I don't mind it so much on the shorter tracks.They better not even say it was a great success and change qual for the Daytona 500.

The boys in the booth strokin' that shaft! JFC
 
It was nervous......my throat was tight when I thought DP might win the pole
 
That was disappointing - just have them run a heat race at RP tracks. I don't want to watch cars brake checking to slow down others momentum they are race cars after all. Find the system that gets each driver trying their best to go as fast as they can... So they can actually stick to the 100% rule

That's what Earnhardt said as well.

This is how worthless and meaningless poles and where you starts means here.

Only thing Brian Scott take take from this is that he'll be in the shootout next year. Good for him.

This'll be the highlight of his year for sure
 
When they first decided to do this and everyone was all excited about it i had my doubts. But, the more i watch it the more i like it. I love all the strategy and chess games they play. I also like that all the SHR cars made it into the final round.:p
 
Don't ever think I have seen something that NASCAR did without a vision for how it would turn out. Wonder if I will feel the same way at the conclusion of the Chase. After seeing this qualifying stuff on all tracks, I don't like it. Not even a little. It is contrived and weird. I would prefer to go back to single car qualifying with the order based on speed from practice. However, instead of the stupid, you are fast so you go last--you get to pick your qualifying spot (early or late) dependent upon track conditions (weather). I will never understand why NASCAR couldn't figure that out as a way of avoiding the sandbagging crap.

Watching replay right now after listening on the radio live. Dumber than I thought. The end of Session 2 was a cluster. How stupid.
 
No one wrecked.. so it may have been stupid but they pulled it off. We can only hope the race will be as exciting and wreck free as qualifying was lol.. hopefully a faster finish though :D

Knockout qualifying on plate tracks don't work out so well.

You're not allowed to say that or you may have to be reintroduced to the new chase rules by some posters on here.
 
Drivers have spoken on Dega qualifying:

"It’s wild, it’s crazy, it’s intense, it’s entertaining," Jeff Gordon, a four-time Sprint Cup champ and six-time Talladega winner said. "It's what it needs to be.

"You’re going off of speed, which is what I think qualifying should be."



"It was way more fun than our normal qualifying session for sure," Kevin Harvick, who will start eighth on Sunday, said. "For us, it just didn’t time out exactly right there at the end. I thought we were in the right spot, (there was) just a little bigger group ahead of us."

To me, I was exciting...way more so than watching one car turn a lap.
 
I liked it... they were all able to keep their cars under them and get it done in exciting fashion. Except that last round but to me that just added some humour. I wonder how they'd have set the field if no one would have gone.
