Sad that so many stories on mainstream news sites are focused on Danica. You'd think she won the race, instead of just getting a top 10. That car would have probably won the race easily if it was driven by Mark Martin.

I'm not a fan of The Chase system either, but the fans wanted a stick-and-ball type of playoff system, and they got it.

I think it's better this year by eliminating the bottom 4 drivers every 3 weeks, just like a true playoff system. That sounds logical, but I'm not a fan of what they will be doing for the final race, where the top 4 drivers will be having a free-for-all in one final race at Homestead.

Unlike stick-and-ball sports where the final series (or game) is between two competitors only, in NASCAR you have multiple teams still on the playing surface, and that's where the problem lies. There could all sorts of accusations when a backmarker car innocently drifts high and takes out (or damages) a Chase contender.

"Yeah, I just got a little loose, I feel bad about hitting Jeff Gordon" is something I could hear Greg Biffle saying, as Carl Edwards takes the title.
