LOL. If your people are really in racing they have no choice but to say
that.

The fans hate it.

I was a FAN FOR 20 YEARS.. Did not miss a race, went to both BRISTOL RACES
FOR 18 YEARS STRAIGHT. 400 MILES AWAY.
These NEW FANS have not seen a real race or real drivers. They really don't
know better.

I HAVE NOT watched a complete race for 2 years. No big deal if I don't see
it..

Very racey, considering he was only on two fresh tires vs JJ's four.

JG squeezed all the performance there was out of his car while he smartly stayed inches off JJ's
outside rear quarter in order to make JJ loose in the corners. JJ got sideways a few times while
trying to pass inside.
Too bad it wasn't enough to make JJ spin out.

If its so wonderful, why hasn't NASCAR incorporated it into the Nationwide and Camping World series

by now?

Look at this points "battle" in Nationwide.....
1) Kyle Busch -Leader
2) Carl Edwards -155
3) Brad Keselowski -227
4) Jason Leffler -857
5) Justin Allgaier -1304
6) Steve Wallace -1356
7) Jason Keller -1426
8) Mike Bliss -1465
9) Brendan Gaughan -1524
10) Michael McDowell -1718
Do you think third place (-227 points) or anyone other than Carl has a chance in hell to win the
championship in the next 5 races?
They desperately need the "Chase"........

It may look like this this year, but in years past, in both N'wide and
Truck, there have been plenty of close battles right up to the last
race (without any stupid "Chase"). And I'm sure there will be again.

Like in 2007 where going into the last race
2nd place Reutimann was only 571 points behind
Or 2006 where Carl Edwards was only 844 points behind leader Kevin Harvick.
and Boyer was in third a mere 940 points back.
Or 2004 where Kyle Busch trailed by only 230 with one to go.
And Biffle was only 605 back in third.

2008 was closer, in all fairness.
With one to go Boyer was only 56 in front of Carl Edwards,
but 353 ahead of third place Jason Leffler.

I know you don't care for the chase, Nance,
but let's not say there were 'plenty' of good title races 'without' the chase.
