What will qualifying be like with 43+ cars on the track at the same time at Martinsville? They can not pass on the outside during the race! Will the faster cars have to push the others up out of the bottom groove to be able to get a faster time? You know how many tracks are hard to pass on, where the tv commentater says track possition is very important. I see crashes and flareing tempers coming in qualifying at these tracks. Which means racing gets more expensive for the teams that can least afford it. 10 min of qualifying may be more exciting for the Nascar fans than the 4 hr race that follows!

I know some of you don't care much for NASCAR, and I will get the inevitable "NASCRAP" response, but for those that saw the announcement today.....what do you think of the new points system, and also the new qualifying format?
Personally, I like both. I might actually watch a race or two this year past Daytona.
They needed to do something. This may generate some interest anyway.

I think this is OK to try to create more interest towards end of season. This way you have to produce in the chase right away or you are out. With all the empty seats you see at tracks maybe this will help fill a few. I think people start to say HO HUM towards end of season. I only watch NASCAR to see how TS and KK teams are doing and it sort of fills in with racing when there is nothing else to watch.

The "Chase" is a farce and now is even a worse one. This latest "tweak" to the "Chase" has to be the brain child of the World Wrestling Federation!

I will repeat, the chase has been changed, altered 3, 4 times. Why can't NASCAR just see that something they have to KEEP changing is NOT WORKING?????????

At the end of the day, Brian France gets his wish. Many people are talking about NASCAR (good or bad), NASCAR just signed new TV contracts (no doubt the TV people helped craft the changes to the Chase) and he is richer than he was last year at this time.
The racing sucks? Too bad because NASCAR is business and for BF and family, business is good. They'll "fix" the racing if they need to make more money.
