Why not replace the chase with...

Either go back to the old system where the champion is the driver who scores the most points over 36 races. Or, since so many fans put a premium on winning, why not declare the champion based soley on who wins the most races. Only 1 point awarded each week, that going to the winner. This would cause teams the fix wrecked races cars now to just park them in the future as they would have no chance to win the race. As far as prize money, I suggest paying a different amount down to 20th place, everyone else below that gets the same amount, again making fixing a wrecked car not worth the time. And as far as after the last race, if a tie exists between 1 or more drivers, they come back the next Sunday to Homestead for a 100 lap shoot out for the championship. Using this year as an example, going into the race tomorrow, Edwards and Stewart are the only drivers who can win using the chase formula. Using my suggestion, 6 drivers would still be in the Hunt. Stewart, Kyle Busch, and Harvick have 4 wins. Jeff Gordon, Kenseth, and Keseloski have 3. Seems like a better scenario for TV viewing with 6 still in the hunt instead of 2. And the best reason for this system is this; each and every week all drives are going all out for the win. No more just riding around for points. What does everyone else think? thanks
 
This is what you do with the Chase. Everyone who wins a race makes the chase. If you don't win a race you don't make it......simple as that.
 
Interesting. It would be a Herculean effort to stage a race with just one week's notice when you consider what all is involved, even if there were only two cars in the field.

Maybe just put the two who are tied into the ring and let them duke it out for the title.
 
Eh I still say that if they're going to go with this playoff idea, then they should really do it proper. Split the Sprint Cup up into two division, East and West. For the first 26 races, have both division run their own race. Then when it come time for the playoff, drivers who are in the top 10 in points in either division will move onto the next 5 races. The top ten after 5 races move onto the final 5 races where they battle it out for the Championship.
 
Here's what we do with the chase. Love with it, 'cause it ain't going nowhere:rolleyes:

But all the JOONYER fans in the West (or the East) would stay away in droves if HE wasn't there! ;)

Dirty is right. The Chase is here to stay.
 
I say ..give each team an oval shaped ball...line em up on pit road and see which team can punt ,pass or run the ball down to the other end of pit road.That should keep you guys happy.
