I like the format, it brings other players into the mix and will hopefully keep the interest up. Attendance has been down for years in nascar, has nothing to do with the chase format. Nascar giving teams special attention and cookie cutter tracks, cost to race you know what they say, its not how fast you want to go, but how much money do you want to spend, along with the economy - ticket pricing, hotels, gas, souveniers etc.... is what is hurting Nascar. I feel if you were good all season, you should be good in the chase. We cant start catering the rules for individuals and wanting to change physics this late into the chase. We have seen some guys starting to figure things out, they should not be punished but, rewarded with a chance to win the championship. Dont tell me nascar was interesting when Gordon, Earnhardt or whoever had a 200 - 300 point lead over second, if you do think that was interesting your lying to yourself. Of course, those were some of the guys nascar catered to werent they, hmmm. Any way those are my thoughts.
