Would make it hard for the fans in the stands to see them after driving "straight" for 500 miles hugh Tina?!! LOL! You're so funny.

I'm sorry, but we wouldn't be in much better shape if we were still running the old points system. I also hated the old system, so it pisses me off that everyone wants to bring it back. At least I know that my favorite drivers will have a shot at the title if they make the Chase cutoff point. It's truly agonizing to watch a driver realistically (not mathematically) wrap up the championship by Indianapolis, and if your guy falls to ninth in points by the fifteenth race, then you pretty much know that he won't compete for the title. I went back and looked at how the 2000-2003 seasons would have concluded had there been a Chase. Now, I know that the results wouldn't have been the same had there been a Chase in place, but Bobby Labonte would have won the Chase by a mere 32 points over Jeff Gordon. Tony Stewart would have had the lead going into Atlanta (btw, Stewart won the most races that year), but had a bad finish in that race. The points margins for all four seasons were between 10 and 50- Homestead would have been exciting, just as it was in 2004. But things changed in 2005 when Hendrick and Roush rose above the rest of the competition, with Gibbs being the only team to keep up until they replaced Roush as Hendrick's strongest rival last year. So I don't think the Chase is necessarily the problem- it's Johnson and Hamlin dominating the circuit, neither being the crowd favorites. Had there been a Chase just ten years ago with Gordon, Burton, Jarrett, Rusty Wallace, Earnhardt, Mayfield, Mark Martin, and Tony Stewart all going for it, you can bet that the Chase would have been bursting with fireworks. The Chase isn't doing its job right now, but that means it needs work, not that we should throw it away. I'd rather know who has the championship by Homestead than by the twentieth race.

OMG Tina this ones funny!!!! I'm trying to picture it, now if i was in the stands watching my favorite driver on a straight track, does that mean i will only see Jeff Burton one time??? If its a 500 mile race does that mean 1 or more states would have a Nascar Race each Sunday??? LOL. Too Funny!!!!
P.S. I think Nascar should stick to
oval tracks, it would be best
for everyone involved!!!

Not enough room for a 500 mile straight track!

Hey, that's a great idea. Send that one to Brian France.
He just might get more people to watch the race that way.
Diversity, what a great way to add some. Have them all
qualify for the 1/4 mile. Top 11 drivers run solo runs. And
then it's just keep running till ya lose. I know, it does sound
like drag racing. But if we don't tell France that, will he know?

They dont make the stright tracks in the chase because why should they i mean who ever has the fastest car is going to win. Also how would all them drivers fit on one of them going in a stright line.

Because they would then be a drag strip. How straight would you want it to be.

Some of the drivers would never find their way back.
