Thanks for the update, because I may have missed the standings the other 36 times, Sunday afternoon........:rolleyes:

Gee, that'd make for an interesting season if somebody sewed up the title with nine races to go, wouldn't it?

I never had a problem with it when it happened before. I wouldn't today. This Chase has also robbed us of some closer finishes to the season as well. Having watched this sport for so long, it's a real bitter pill to swallow ever time I see those points reset at the end of the 26th race. The Chase is nothing more than an attempt to manufacture excitement. It's also been hinted at being changed again. Brian France wants to create the game #7 excitement in the Chase. News to Brian France..... There isn't always a game seven. Sometimes there are only four. That's what makes some seasons special and talked about for years. We've lost that.

Spot on! This is a completely different sport than any of those that do have the possibility of a game 7.
 
I love the Chase, best thing NASCAR has done in the past ten years.

The other thing about other sports is the 'regular season champions' get something to show for their accomplishments entering the playoffs. Home field advantage, division champions, week 1 bye, first round against a wild-card team, something.

NASCAR, that doesn't happen. In this case, Harvick was relegated to third in points despite being the best driver all season.

And all of you who want the winner of the most races to win the championship, ask yourselves this, does Denny Hamlin really deserve the championship with his overall performance this season?
 
I'm not a fan of the Chase. It takes an entire teams efforts for the season and wipes them out. Clearly Kevin Harvick and his RCR crew deserve this years Cup Championship. It also gives an opportunity for someone who hasn't run as well for the entire season to steal from the team that has (that's why JJ has 4).
