Kyle won the regular season championship, and he never had to win to advance.

He wouldn't have won the regular season championship in 2015 though.
For reference, here were the points at the end of the regular season, before the playoff reset: https://www.jayski.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/31/2019/09/2019-26cup-points-pre-reset.pdf
Truex was WAY back.

Good guess
Should I start a thread called "Joey Logano is the 2019 NASCAR Cup Ssries Champion"?

Logano?
That's hilarious!
I didn't know he ran that good in the playoffs.

Kyle had the best average finish all year, it'd been him.

Wins give more points.. it can skew the average finish.. if anything I'd say go by average points per race.

Stage points. Joey had 358, Kyle had 277. But I guess if old system means sans stage points, it wouldn’t matter.

Well...something was already posted that showed Joey would win. See post 9.

This is a pointless/useless thread because there are way too many variables. No-one can say because the drivers are most certainly going to race differently under a different points system. People used to lay back and save what they had until the end of the race under the old points system. Matt Kenseth was a great example of that. It didn't work out so well for him in stage racing.

That would account for stage points.

No they took playoff points out while also keeping stage points. You can't really have one without the other. Silly stat.
This is without stage or playoff points up to IMS.

It is am impossible question. Different rules or rewards and recognition results in different strategeries.
All we know is the rules as they are written for the given season and the one that satisfies those demands is the worthy champion.

That's up to IMS. They've been plenty of races since then.

IMS was last week dude. November 10th it says but also says 2018 now that I looked at the date so that's weird. Everything else on the site says 2019

You're confusing ISM (Phoenix) with IMS (Indy).

Would have been a 5 car battle for the championship instead of 4, and we would have seen an epic late season implosion for the 18 car. Way to go NASCAR ya played yourself

He's right I did but that stat I posted didn't. It was from last week at whatever the track is called now.

Why would I click tho when you mentioned one track, the track that happened to be the regular season finale. That one is on you.
