How is Ryan Newman and Matt Kenseth (with no wins) higher than Brad Kez with six wins? Just...what? I thought this points system was supposed to reward wins.
Points before the reset. Brad was still like 11th.![]()

But doesn't he points for his regular season and Chase wins though?
No. Wins mean nothing other than advancement.. no bonus points.But doesn't he points for his regular season and Chase wins though?
No, I believe you are seeded based on how you did for the 3 races during that round. Even though they'll all have the same amount of points, they go by who had a better 3 race stretch.
Brian has different math than do we.![]()

All this over a bunch of guys who are tied? Why does it matter what order the names are in?
Which is precisely why it sucks ass and has NO PLACE in motorsports.Wins get you in the Chase. After the reset, a win advances you to the next round. After the next reset, wins again advance you. It's just like any other playoff. It's not rocket science.
On the contrary .. it seems to have a place right at the top levelWhich is precisely why it sucks ass and has NO PLACE in motorsports.![]()

It doesn't even matter what the names are.All this over a bunch of guys who are tied? Why does it matter what order the names are in?
The what? The guys that can only go fast for 4 seconds?Take that up with the NHRA because they're the ones who invented the "Countdown to 1" which is EXACTLY what the new Chase format is.
Wow, things are really circling
No, it's not. Rocket science makes sense.It doesn't. And the points system is not rocket science.

Except here, it's countdown to 4.![]()
I could live with the one reset after Richmond in the previous chase formats. But four resets is ridiculous.Even if it makes sense, it's still stupid.

Hooooly... man... ur back in February lolI could live with the one reset after Richmond in the previous chase formats. But four resets is ridiculous.
This^The chase format has been written and published before the season started. like duh?

Because everything you've worked for all season matters. Until it doesn't.It just kind of odd seem people with light years better stats and numbers being behind guys who have no wins and barely any top 5s is all.
Not necessarily the case. There are two Toyota drivers left who wouldn't have had a chance in hell in any previous format, but that doesn't change my mind about it much.But, it sucks. Because [insert driver name here] was eliminated.
NASCAR fans would be worshipping the thing if Jr won today and Kyle and Jimmie were both eliminated.

I get that... except then I look at the standings before the reset...and its obvious lol same order except Brad moves from 12th 8th because of the win and Kyle got the boot.It just kind of odd seem people with light years better stats and numbers being behind guys who have no wins and barely any top 5s is all.
