What do you all think?
Race points change slightly with the winning driver now earning 55 points. Previously, a race winner earned 40 points.
A race win no longer grants automatic entry into The Chase.
Win and you're in' is no more.
The elimination-based postseason format is no more.
The Chase is a straight IO-race format.
The top-16 drivers in regular-season points make The Chase.
With the points leader at the end of the regular season earning a 25-point advantage over second, the seedings to start The Chase

Go #12 Blaney!
Go #88 Zilisch!

Some of it I like, but the part about win and Your in not being in there is in MHO to keep guys like SVG out of the playoffs. In other words, there is no incentive to win, except for the points awarded. Some drivers would rather not take a chance and wreck to win to get in, and will rather ride in the top 10 each week. Makes sense to me.

Remember, the chase was made because Kenseth won the championship as he should have, but didn't have a win. that is why they put in the "Win You're in rule.

Drop the chase and make the champion, the one with the most points and do away with the stage point crap. Get back to racing and the consistentcy of a driver for a year.

If You are not going to get in for winning, then the leader should not get an advantage with 25 points to start the playoffs. The leader should be the champ and forget the playoffs. Extend the season to 46 races and see who wins it.

It all goes to one thing, the Teams with the deepest pockets will win.

Go #4 Kevin Harvick
