Alright...16 teams have the ability and 26 weeks to make it to the chase. If you don't make it in the chase with 16 openings would you consider that a season failure?

This question was asked on Sirius XM Nascar last week. Just curious what the peeps here think.

I say yes...
 
The Chase should always be the goal. Positive growth for any team is always healthy for keeping the dream alive.
 
Aren't those back marker teams only playing for 1 or 2 spots , not 16 ? I mean after you take out the Hendrick/Stewart Haas , Gibbs , Roush /Penske spots .
 
If you improve its not a total waste, but it is freaking disappointing.

I know, let's ask Mikey !!!!
 
If you're an organization like MWR, yes. Especially when your owner says that the business model doesn't work without making the Chase.

Different deal for teams like Germain Racing and Phil Parsons Racing.

How much could your team really have improved if u have no wins on the season...?

easy, if you have better finishes, you win more money. If you are a start and park, you might be able to pick up a local sponsor and be able to afford to buy enough tires or whatever to run the whole race. If there is a big wreck and you aren't part of it, it is like hitting the jackpot. every place gained it worth thousands. I'm talking 25th place on down. Upper levels are a whole different story. You are shooting for the chase and all the publicity that makes it easier to squeeze money out of sponsors.

If one of my drivers doesn't win a race on the year I consider his season a failure. Unless you win a championship or are driving for a lesser team, that's all that matters

It depends. I'd say not making the Chase would be considered a failure for guys like Tony Stewart and Clint Bowyer, not so much for guys like Kyle Larson and Austin Dillon.

42 & 3 will have super success year..... if they continue w/ same performance as 1st 26 races. on ta '15 !

Yeah, anybody who sat there and watched that whole race had to be either a loyal Kyle fan or a masochist. LOL.

I dont forget Fontana Rev, how can I when you remind me every 30 minutes or so :D:XXROFL:
 
I would have to say if a team misses the Chase regardless of progress/status, it would have to be considered a failure of sorts.

Pretty damn sure that Kyle pointed at me after waving the flag. Nevermind, when he hung his head out the window just before the go line, and said, "Watch this Rev! Gonna getcha some!!!!"

At least Kyle won a real race this year, the other 2 not so much. Some folks do relish them "top 5" finishes though :D
 
Depends on the team. Hendrick fails if they don't get all their drivers in the chase. They did. For a team like RPM, getting Alimrola in no matter the circumstances is a huge acheivement same with Dinger at JTG.

Some teams in the back just want to improve year to year while others its imperative to make the chase.
 
Hmmm imo Larsons 42 - ever seen rly good decisions of his crew chief or kickass pit stops ? Nope.
Yea Larson abused his tires too much sometimes but at some points, cars shouldn't fade as much anymore as the 42 did oh so often.

Uh, would you be talking about Fontana my friend? I believe it is time for us to start talking about me being the reason Kyle is in the Chase. Revman Nation.
