Surprising stats.

[ted@economy]

The stat is limited imo. With 10 races to go there was a different set of needs. Some guys simply needed more points than others or had a more urgent need.

The goal has been changed it is no longer to be p1 in the points for the regular season, it is to be in the top 10 with the most wins. Some like Stewart and Hamlin abandoned point racing hoping to get more wins.
That much is obvious but you would think folks were tricked with the number crunching. While this thread isn't about the worthiness of a chase title people still like to use their set of numbers to claim some one more worthy was cheated.

Sorry to go off topic, a pet peeve.

I'm not sure what you are saying Greg . Is it that Stewart and Hamlin are the only two that picked up on the fact that winning is important?

No I wasn't trying to be exhaustive, just two that came to mind.

I'm sorry you don't find this thread interesting. I'll be sure to include some T&A next time.

T and A is good. I didn't mean to say it was not interesting or worthless. But I do think it should be understood that after some were sure of making the chase, that only winning bonus points counted. If Johnson, Brad or some others had benefited with anymore points or had to have them, they would been more conservative and accumulated more.
