Re: 2010 NASCAR Season: You might be a redneck
Have they booted the Sprint Cup guys out of Nationwide yet?

Originally posted by Larch View PostIt sounds like they will use a combination, at least that's the way I read it. Owner's points will still get you in (top 35), but from there it will be your practice speeds. I like it, I understand why they do it, but I reall dislike the start-and-parks. This way if there is a one off for Boris Said or Terry Labonte or even some rookie getting a few races in this year, if they are faster they can still race and not have to watch some other team start-and-park, while they were willing to run the whole race.

I'd like to see what the point totals look like for the last few years under this new-new point system. See just how it would have effected the chase era, and even the Winston Cup era.

Originally posted by streaker View PostI didn't hear about the first one. That's different- no longer using owner points? I don't know how this will impact practice, though- drivers may feel inclined to stay in qualifying trim instead of race trim and may not get a chance to practice in race trim.

Originally posted by RaceBoarder View PostSome pretty significant announcements made today...
I like the fact that practice speeds will be used to set the field if Qualifying is washed out... I also like that they will use practice speeds to set the order the cars will qualify...
The new points system is a different feeling however... I really wish that they could put more of an emphasis on winning... Give the winner a 5-8 point bonus in the new system instead of 3... I also think that they should have given all cars from 30th on back the same points, say 5...
I'm still in the air on adding the 2 drivers with the most wins outside the top 10 in points to the chase... That could go either way based on how the season plays out... I mean, if you have a bunch of 1-win drivers tied and vying for a win in Richmond or Bristol, it could get pretty epic...
