The most wins is last in the chase....just doesnt sound right.

if it is broken, i'm sure it is nothing that can not be fixed with some duct tape.
;-)

unfortunately l can not say the same for my boy is engine, swaybar, and cup chances

Some fans like the chase. l am not one of them. l am stubborn and ''old school''

Even without it though, he still would not currently be 1st in points.
But he'd definately at least be within striking distance.

Que Sera Sera..

Winter: Kyle would have lost the point lead if this were the normal season right now? Wow, those two races must of been worse than l thought if it wiped out a 200+ point lead.

l can not tell if it is broken or not at this point, l like the chase, but it can absolutely ruin a season, but it can also make someone u never expected(like Greg Biffle, for example) a champion contender.

You can tell how badly they all think u HAVE to win to get this championship, l can not believe Mr. Ed said he hit the wall on purpose to try & win the Kansas race.

The only thing broken in NASCAR are the officials that fine $$, points. and races to certain teams and let other drivers get off with just a few points.

If they did not have the chase, Kyle would not be in 12th place right now. He would be in either 3rd or 4th & within more than the 311 points he is out right now. You do not win a championship because u have the most wins, that is how we got the chase when Kenseth won his championship but he was consistant all year when he won it. The chase is nothing more than for marketing & viewership for Nascar. If Dale Sr was alive l do not think there would be a chase, he would have raised hell when they brought up the idea.

Maybe not but it is happened before. huh? Interesting though, it is kinda like all the drivers that are in the chase start all over. Each one of them have the same chance at winning the championship.

Yes. Greed ,marketing and a dictatorship have broken a beautiful wonderful sport.The chase is the worst of all the so called improvements implemented. l will still watch. l love the racing. l just don`t have as much respect for the championship anymore.

They all play by the same rules. The Chase changed everything. Kyle Busch has done so poorly the last 3 races that both Johnson and Edwards would be ahead of him under the old system. NASCAR pays off for consistency, not necessarily wins. Bill Elliott won 11 races one year and finished second to Darrell Waltrip because Waltrip was more consistent with Top 10's.

He is over 300 points back, so he would be hosed anyway.

l liked the question. Is NASCAR broken. l think YES! It made me realize that NASCAR just is not what it used to me. An example is Jeff Gordon would have AT LEAST 2 additional championships under the old points system. The new system is crap. 'The person with the best final 10 wins', throw out the rest of the season. That has never been NASCAR, & l am sad that it has become that. Consistency over the entire season was what it was all about. They could have just weighted race wins a bit heavier. They should have kept the old system AND added a final 10 playoff contest. THAT would have made sense. Sometimes l just shake my head.

l think we need to go back to the old system and drop the chase. l think the person who is the best over the whole season should be the champion, not the driver who is best in the last 10 races.

yes, it is broken and it needs to go back to the way it was.

l think it is great that NASCAR let is them have 26 races to get their act together to battle it out for the 10 race chase. If u can not get it together within those 26 races u will never be able to be a champion. Over zealous drivers will never be great, but an intelligent crew in it is conviction will dominate. And l know this from building race cars & competing against the rest. Ever heard of the saying ''it is all show, & no go''? Well, at the beginning of the season when we have time to prepare for the chase, when the crucial chase begins, we know its time to ''go''.

There is only one way to fix this. If we went back to the old points system & rewarded the championship with a full year of race results & then had a chase also as an extra incentive. As long as they reset the points it will never be fair. That is the dumbest thing I've seen NASCAR try to do is give a championship to a driver that was at his best for the last 10 races of the season. You can not tell that retard Bill France that though. He will keep it like it is as long as people r talking about it. l think for some reason he thinks it drives up ratings. Executives can be so blind sometimes & forget where they came from.

To the powers at NASCAR it is not broken,just bent a little.
Listen to the media throughout the year and look at the top 5 or 6 in the chase?The medias darlings are all right there'
Drop the chase,get rid of the top 35 in owners points and chunk provisionals out the door and let the fastest 43 race,and at the end of the season the one with the most POINTS win and not the Owner with the most MONEY.

l have to say it is broken, NASCAR is scrambling to keep its fan base. l agree that if a guy in 20th spot gets it together and wins what would be required to win the championship in the final 10 races. Let him have it he earned it.This starting over with 10 to go is nuts, why do the others even show up. l know l Know owner and crew points. But really should not the best team get the trophy. Right now this is not the case

To me if anybody wins who would not have won the championship in the original format, l do not think they really are worthy of being the champion. This is all for marketing and sponsorship dollars. But, in the process it takes the prestige out of what used to be called a champion. l barely can remember the champions from the chase format, cause it is pretty much a crap shoot on who has the least amount of problems in the chase who wins it.

It is not broken.Even if the Chase did not exist and the points had not been reset,Kyle Busch would still not be leading the points.Kyle has lost 393 points since Loudon(he went from +80 to -313).Had the points not been reset,Carl Edwards would currently be the leader by a small margin.That makes sense because Carl has six wins and 2nd place jimmie Johnson now has five.

Ok nascar is not broken and do not dare try to fix it the last few championships have been so close that it took the last race to decide winner yea they are tryin to please the fans with more exciting racing for example yesterdays race come on you think ol carl would have done that if he had even a 50 point lead no freaking way yall ol fogies gotta come to the realization that things do change

When the s in NASCAAR was Changed from ''stock'' to $ and it became NA$CAR it became very broken most likely beyond repair
