NASCAR Needs to Eliminate the “Playoffs”

November 22nd, 2009

I love NASCAR. It is in my blood and because I am a redneck. NASCAR is a sport that you don’t want to toy around too much with, especially the point system. When It was Winston, the point system was just fine. Perhaps there could be some tweaking. Under the old system, a driver didn’t have to win a race to win the championship. He just had to stick in the top 5. With todays racers and the new car, that is virtually impossible. How points are given under the new system, eliminates that. With the “10 race to the chase”, only the top point 12 contenders are vying for the championship in the last 10 races. What this does, a team that “hung around” until they are in the chase for the 12th spot, can win the championship. That is a fine and dandy for sports like football, basketball, baseball, etc, but it does not have a place in NASCAR. With the COT, NASCAR can eliminate the “10 race for the chase” and let the teams and drivers fight it out.

Labor Day is the best time of the year.

Labor Day is in a few days and for most, it marks the good and the bad. NASCAR is 1 race away from the Chase, the NFL is 1 week away, school is starting, the weekend bar-b-ques come to an end and it is time to get back to the grindstone at work. If you live in a tourist dominated area, peace and quiet returns. June 21st on the calender may signal the end of Spring, but Memorial Day weekend signals the beginning of a summer vacation, the end of school and start of vacation season, backyard fun and getting those projects done, repairs around the house and the blockbuster movie release. Also when Labor Day rolls around, it is time for the new episodes of your favorite fall shows. New automobiles come out. We get a 4 day weekend to relax from the adventures of summer. It is a shame that we cannot be paid like the school systems. Work for 10 months and then have 2 months off.
