THis is not new, and I dont know if it was posted before, but I just thought matt kenseths ideas were pretty intresting.

Matt Kenseth: There's another thing that might be kind of weird that somebody brought up to me, and I don't if it'd make any sense or not, but if they're only having the top-10 drivers eligible anyway, start 'em all out at zero and give 10 points for the winner and one point for whoever finishes last out of those 10 cars. That way, if you have a DNF and finish 43rd you're not totally out of it.

Matt Kenseth: Just rank the top-10 against each other. Don't rank them by how they finish against everybody else, who isn't running in the Chase. The way this point system is set up, it's supposed to reward winning races and not necessarily so heavy on consistency. In my book, for these last 10 it's almost more weighted on consistency because the guy who has one problem and gets his 38 points or whatever it is for last, compared to the guy who finishes fifth or sixth every week, is going to have a real problem beating that guy, so I think it's still really weighted on consistency over the last 10.
 
I didnt take the time to read the article on nascar.com but it seems that Kenseth does have a good idea for adding some improvment to such a stupid idea.
 
Its funny the whole point of this was suppose to be that everything depended less on consistancy and more on winning. Which it will until the last 10 races, then it will depend more on consistancy then ever before. Pretty ridiculous, if everything they say is true.
