I think the chase is working and doing what it was intended to do. Even in the races, the drivers are constantly in the same positioning as they are overall in the chase. ie Kevin Harvick finished 7th @ Martinsville and he is 6th in points overall. That does prove that the system does work but it takes till the end of the year for all the numbers to work out. I see Kyle Bush in your pic. In his case, the chase format sucks, unfortunately he has blown engines and lost tires recently. If you don't play well in the playoffs your are the first team to go home. In the history of sports, there have been hundreds of teams whoopin arse at the beginning of the year and then have problems at the end. This may be only my 2nd year watching NASCAR and i am loving every minute of it the way it looks, sounds and plays out. anyhay... add one to my post count please..
