I see the C4C coming to the Busch series next season! It's been a two man race since about half season............and still is. But with 3 to go, it looks like Martin's got it in the bag. 10th or better average in each remaining race and the trophie's his!!

 

[racer8]

I agree that C4C will end up in the busch series. I just hope they will review it and make some changes first.

 

[slick-nick]

Ya know what's really sad? Ever since this Chase for the Cup came into play, the top 4 in the Trucks Series are closer together than the top 4 in the Nextel Cup Series...

 

[TonyB]

The C4C doesn't garuntee a close championship finish. What it does is virtually eliminate a blow out in the championship.

Yep. I noticed the same damned thing. Kind of ironic.

And that's about all any points system can address.........the C4C is a start. Tweaking is very much in need.......but the concept is on the right track.

 

[buckaroo]

Maybe they should add more bonus points. I heard about some of the bonus points the IROC drivers got. Sounded interesting to say the least. But, you also need a calculator to figure them all out.

If the team and driver have the talent to "blow out" the remaining of the field, why not.

I still like the older system better, especially if they would do a little adjustment to the points like adding more for a win.
