Even if Mark and Kyle don't make it, this has been the most exciting year I have ever seen in Nascar. Well I like it just the way it is.

To say that that's worthy of inclusion into the Chase. Just doesen't work for me. If anyone who won a race were included. What happens to some one like Front Row Joe? Who wins the first Chase race after the field is frozen. Too many teams included would make it like Hockey. With the regular season counting for almost nothing. I do agree that winning needs to carry more weight. I plan to address that next week. Bad idea…….While I like to see someone come out of left field like Brad Keselowski & win a race.

Not a bad idea if you ask me.ANYTHING to me that gets to the spirit of racing...that's WINNING. Things that get my goat are like Jimmie Johnson asking Martin to let him pass for a lousy 5 points and this "points racing" mentality. But like Dawg says, playing it safe could bite you in the butt if something goes wrong. @yankeegranny. Not a bad idea if you ask me.ANYTHING to me that gets to the spirit of racing…that’s WINNING.

Seed them in the chase by the number of wins, and go to points if drivers have the same number of wins. Who cares if there are 10 or 20 drivers in the chase. What matters is they are WINNERS, and I would not count a rain-shortened race toward the chase.There are no other major sports where you could compete for the championship without winning at least one event.
