Challenger round? Lol.

 

[JimmieGordon2448]

I actually like this

 

[FLRacingFan]

This sounds like some dumbass game show.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

This sounds like a video game.

 

[ToyYoda]

And there it is.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Brian has to hold back all the bull**** he is coughing up

 

[SlicedBread22]

no bonus points.. I like that

 

[JimmieGordon2448]

I'm surprised ESPN is covering this. They must not have anything else to talk about right now.

Peyton Manning taking a crap today must be old news

 

[FLRacingFan]

This is why you should never let a UCF grad run a sport.

Can't tell what had more BS: Tuesday's State of the Union address or today's State of the Sport address.

I'm just happy there is only one eliminator round.

Otherwise, it would be too confusing.

"That's as simple as it gets."

The graph of NASCAR's projected attendance and TV ratings for this year should have a similar slope.

The "Challenger," the "Contender," the "Eliminator" - we're now a series of "American Gladiators" events, apparently

Great question from Jim Utter. I agree with the premise of his question. NASCAR's gone "all in" with winning. If a driver wins and they don't pass tech, they should be DQ'd.

 

[FenderBumper]

Brian finally said something I like. Now, get him Volfgang.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Move em! Nice! lol

lol Good call. I thought I recognized those terms.

 

[FenderBumper]

"Yeah, we thought of it first, Volfgang"

 

[Lazyking]

Here is my biggest problem, there isn't 16 drivers that realistically can win the chase every year. This may increase more risk to go for the win but the same five to ten guys will find a way with better equipment, better resources to pick up that win.

Not only is the equipment isnt' equal, the drivers are not equal and neither is the tracks they go to. unlike playoffs in other sports, in racing, you race at different tracks that drivers are better at so one driver that dominates at a track has an advantage going in.

Brian France is an a**hole.

 

[FenderBumper]

lol Nice sidestep on ISC possibly giving up chase dates.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Did Brian just say he likes continuity? Ironic.....

 

[Blaze]

I think it should at least be three wins you have to get to in because anyone can win at Daytona or Dega. If you get one win and yoiu're in the chase over someone who deserves its, that's kinda lame.

 

[FLRacingFan]

"Yeah, we thought of it first, Volfgang"

It was their idea...just like the SAFER barrier.

 

[FenderBumper]

After 2 divorces, apparently this is the first time Brian has swung for the fence with his staff.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Anyone else get the feeling Brian France isn't even a race fan?

 

[Tennessee Racing]

I bet Tony is like, oh no don't you blame me for this BS. LOL

 

[Zerkfitting]

Kinda like qualifying.

 

[DUN24]

**** this regime. 'Diminishing points racing-exactly what fans want'

**** you Brian!!!!!

My mom just called. The dog I grew up with ruptured a spleen and just got put down. What a day.

 

[FenderBumper]

It was their idea...just like the SAFER barrier.

Didn't they 'borrow' the frame design too?

 

[FLRacingFan]

**** this regime. 'Diminishing points racing-exactly what fans want'

**** you Brian!!!!!

If they really wanted to do that they would simply crown the driver with the most victories as the champion.

Like Danica in the chase!

 

[FenderBumper]

All jokes aside, if this makes these 'gentlemen' race harder, I'm all for it. Legitimacy doesn't mean much these days. Entertainment is everything.
