I don't like the way nascar determines the champion. IMO it was a hollow championship determined by 10 races, now by a single race. That doesn't mean I have to stop watching the races during the season, does it? I still enjoy watching the races, so why should I stop? I just think the championship has very little credibility due to nascar's continually altering the points for dramatic affect. How is saying that "getting bent out of shape"?
It's an internet message board. The reason we are here is to voice our opinions. What is pointless you telling people they need to stop doing that....
Hey everybody, you need to stop posting your opinions about the new point system at a place specifically designed for the purpose of people posting their opinions, if you don't like the new point system!
Good luck with that.
Your opinion is based on the fact that its a "hollow championship" even though all evidence will point to the fact that the person who wins will have not only earned a spot in the chase, but earned their way all the way through the rounds and into the final four where the driver will once again earn the championship by finishing better then the others.....How is that hollow? Your opinion of why you dont like the new system is based off some random idea in your head that somehow someway the guy who wins the championship didnt earn it? Please explain to me how he didnt earn it?
People come on here and bitch and moan about the way the product is, but then they park their asses in front of the TV to watch it. Its stupidity. If you dont like something dont watch it. I have never been able to understand why people complain about something when they have the power to change it.
My wife watches the stuipid as hell real housewife shows. I find them to be stupid. It would be like me watching those shows and bitching and complaining about them. You dont have to like the change, but this thread has been littered by people complaining about it. If the changes are so bad turn it off. Otherwise have the ability to let it play out and actually see if you like it. People are so resistant to the idea of change.
Im not telling anyone to not state their opinion, but if you have the opinion that the Championship is determined by 1 race why are you watching the others exactly? And why will you be watching the 9 leading up to that 1? And why will you be watching the last one? Because you like racing right? That still exists there. No matter what, the cars, drivers and teams are still racing. Or are you a glutton for punishment or someone who just likes to spend their time and energy on something they dont like?
Thats where I get disconnected from others. Its one thing to have a discussion about it. Maybe say what you like and dont like, but it takes some serious close mindedness to not look at the changes made and see some areas of excitement. I agree with you about the final race determining it all. I dont really like that either, but not because its hollow. I just dont like the idea of 13th through 16th having 3 races to advance while the guys who earned(theres that word again) their way to the final four only get 1 shot at it.
A lot of the detractors are seeing the new system as a 1 race for it all and deeming it "hollow" instead of looking past it and seeing the excitement that will be in every race, the decison making that will have to take place and the fact that it will force nearly every guy to have to race instead of sandbagging when they develop a comfortable lead in the points.
I guess I just choose to look past the areas that I dont like because I am able to see the areas of improvement.
