Not many good texas drivers left.I thought Terry was a pretty decent person. Oh, may I mention on lap 196 during caution Tony was warned not to bump draft the pace car.The pace car is a Corvette.

 

[6 Shooter]

Yep - It looks a bit like this 1...

The pacecar is a Corvette.

 

[vett boy]

Thats the one,except the scratches on the back.May I mention IF tony had made the chase he would now be in !st place if he wins Texas.

 

[6 Shooter]

There you go using that "IF" word again.

The chase sucks , period . Put it back the way it was. The championship should be a total of how you run the whole season, not 10 races. This isn't football.

Your right Glenn and this proves it.

I've heard there are some changes coming to the chase next year, but I don't think it'll be like it was.

I'm hearing NASCAR will allow racers up-to 500-points back be-included.....
:eyerole

Since NASCAR always talks about Top 5s, Top 10s, and Top 20s in their finishes, why-not spread-out the points awarded more than they do now?

I'd propose a 20-point gap between each position from #1 thru 5, a 10-point gap between 6 and 10, 5 point-gap between 11 and 20, and the current 3-point gap between each position from 21st back:
MAKE these guys want to pass cars, instead of riding-around, content with an 8th place finish.
