I'm going back and forth on this one.

On the one hand, I think there should be some sort of win bonus that
applies only to determining whether or not somebody gets into the
chase (but not take any chase spot away from somebody in the top 12 on
points using the actual method - increase the chase to 13 or 14 if
necessary), although they would start with a points disadvantage.
(Something just doesn't feel right about the possibility of a driver
finishing 13th, but if he would have had one more point, he would have
ended up winning - but I think this is more a problem of the way they
adjust the points after Richmond (it should be some combination of
points and wins - say, start with 5000 for 12th, give first through
11th 5000 plus some fraction of their points ahead of 12th, and then
add 10 for each win.)

On the other hand, what if somebody who was 13th were to win, say,
four of the chase races, and end the season with the most wins? Do
you suddenly decide to change the points again and decalre him the cup
champion?

Here's yet still even another compromise: maybe - MAYBE - have a rule
saying that if somebody ends the season with more wins than anyone
else but doesn't finish in the top 10, they get an introduction at the
awards banquet (they don't really need two sets by some comedian).

Really? So if someone has 6 wins and 20 DNF he should be in the Chase?

My POINT is (sorry you missed it), other than KyB's wins, he hasn't been
consistent. So, too bad for him.

enjoy the rest of your year pulling for juan pablo montoya, who did
not win ANY races, but still made the chase regardless, due to his
winning, easy going nature, and his wherewithal to continually do the
right thing at any given point in time. so very unlike kyle busch,
who did the wrong thing at the every turn. it is so good to see kylie
boi miss the chase, and by only 8 points, too!

bwahahahahahahahaha!! now quit worshipping your false idols, chump.
it seems like GWBush would have gotten on that punk!

lol!
