I'm not a big NASCAR fan, but I do catch a couple of races a year on TV. Why they would take some of their premiere races and make them all but meaningless is beyond me.

That's the next step of course: promoters killing each other to host races that matter in the championship chase.

Why give points to someone who finishes 43rd? If someone blows an engine five laps in, he didn't earn anything, so cut off the points somewhere like halfway down the field. That will also cut back on some of these drivers who are just in the way 100 laps down joyriding for points.

I heard on the radio this morning that Jimmy Johnson would have won the "Trophy Dash" and Kenseth woud have finished seventh under the new rules. I had no problem with Matts win because he did finish in the top 5 or top 10 in many races and I say that even though I have a problem with Roush.
I look at the new rules as just setting up a new series with the Elite 10 class and everyone else in the Consolation Series running in the same race. Why doesn't Brains France just come out and run the 10 car 10 race Trophy Dash and a 10 race Suckers Series. This is going to make the fans of the Schraders, Bensons and the others feel like second tier supporters. To make it complete France should tell them they have to sit in the cheap seats...

You're brutal. lol
