A brilliant idea of some nitwit, to have only the top ten drivers (by points) compete for the championship by awarding them points only for the last ten races.
Everybody else gets to compete for 11th place, doesn't matter if he wins every race left on the schedule.
Total BS if you ask me, and it has driven a lot of old fans like me away, because it eliminates most of the competition.
Why would a team risk bending cars and bruising drivers, knowing the best they could ever finish in the last 10 races, even if they win, is 11th place?
They can still win and collect the winning purse, but get no points toward the championship, therefore, no money from the points fund.
Except when it gets to 11th place.
Really stupid system, particularly in a sport where second place is considered nothing more than the 1st loser.
