I can't believe somebody didn't point this thread out to me before.
I'm a Michael Waltrip fan. I'm one of the original Michael Waltrip fans from the days when he was driving the 23 for what would become Bahari racing, during the long, long, long years when everyone remembered me because I was the only person they had ever seen at the track wearing a Michael Waltrip shirt or hat.
I hate the new points system, refuse to EVER call the Cup Champion anything else and think Brian France needs to be sent back to school in a work-study program with Junior Johnson, Bobby Allison or Cale Yarbrough.

I am glad you found us!
I am gonna wait til the season end to decide about the points change.
I do agree with you about Winston cup though. Its gonna be hard to ever get use to Nextel. The main thing that upsets me is they refer to EVERYTHING as NEXTEL, like it has ALWAYS been Nextel. For Example they said the other day that J. Gordon was a 4 time Nextel Cup Champion. Well he is not, he is a 4 time winston cup champion, noone has been a nextel champ yet!!!!
Ok im done ranting LOL
Hope to see you stop by more often MorningGirl

the new points thing sucks if i was a head bye 500 points after 26 races then i loose 495 i would be pissed.
also it hurts the little man alot from race 26 to 36 your fucked the best you can get is 11 place for the year.
under the old way you could be 15th in points at race 26 and at race 36 be in the top 5 not any more.

It's the top 10 plus anyone else who is within 500 of the leader, so it will definitely be 10, could be 11, 12, or more if they're close enough to the leader.
Here's my favorite scenario......... Junior or the 24 (i can't even type that name) have a big lead that's erased after race 26 and eventually finish 2nd to the guy (doesn't really matter who) who was in 4th or 5th and 350 points back at the end of race 26.
Or even better, the big one at Talladega takes out all of the top 10 except the guy in 9th who hasn't won a race all year. He wins Talladega and goes on to win the Championship.

In Nextel Cup racing, following the 26th race of the season, all drivers in the NASCAR Top 10 and any others within 400 points of the leader will earn a berth in the "Chase for the Championship."
All drivers in the "chase" will have their point totals adjusted. The first-place driver in the standings will begin the chase with 5,050 points; the second-place driver will start with 5,045, etc. Incremental five-point drops will continue through the list of title contenders.
