no one has complained over the years about the point system, while earnhardt senior and gordon where taking advantage of it, but now that a ford team has one it now becomes a problem hey?

Not just any Ford team, but a Ford team run by the Cat in the Hat; and not just any Roush team, but one that doesn't have a predominance of Southerners </sarcasm?>

that may or may not have anything to do with the France (eeek) family's love of prestige and cash money.

Now, with that out of the way... I was wondering last night when I first read this (and I think the new system sucks) whether Dale Sr. and the King would maintain their 7 respective championships were we to go back and recalculate the old stats by the new rules. curious, huh? I've gotta go study for a few hours, but it's an interesting question in my view.

My first blush opinion is that Dale might have more than 7... and Harry Gant and Martin might have won a championship.
