Nice work. Interesting how the old points system would be closer in points (for the top two) than the new point system.

[lawdog]

The best thing about this is the two guys who should be battling it out for the championship are the two guys who have a chance. I know they like to say 5 do, but honestly Jimmie has this about in the bag and Kenseth is the ONLY one who may have a shot at him...

[PierBridge]

Do you guy's really think if the old points system were still in place that these would be the current standings....?

No chance.

[LMITOUT]

Do you mean that people would race different (with no chase), hence the standings posted above would also be different? ie....not so conservative and racing for a good finish rather than racing for the win.

[TNFL]

You're right, if SMOKE wasn't out of it there would be a lot more DNF's from the top guys.

[JohnMickish]

Or more DNF's from Smoke.

I do know that the 24 had a few himself.

[lawdog]

Only because you put the hex on him!!!

[lawdog]

Jimmie Johnson top point scorer and Chase Champion, following up Stewarts equal effort last year. This makes Kurt Busch STILL the only fake champion who was mathemitically elimnated with 3 races to go under the real point system when he won his phony ballony Chase Championship...

[JohnMickish]

Very true, but no matter how you do the math the trophy still has his name on it.

Hey lawdog, I don't know if I agree with your signature, be a veteran and all. Have you ever seen the movie "Patton"? The opening line says something to the effect of "it's not to die for your country, it's to make that other S.O.B. die for his!"
