Report Offensive Commentthe top 35 rule is crap........and hurts the little guys
Maybe it should be changed so that only the top 12 are in automatically.

Report Offensive CommentTop 12 in when the Chase starts, I can live with that. I can't stand the Chase either though, you could win the first 26 races and not win the Championship. Not likely, but possible.

Report Offensive CommentI agree with both of you. On a weekly basis, maybe the top ten are auto in. The fastest qualifiers don't make the field sometimes, and it turns into practice for the top teams anyway.
Besides, I am a Cowboys fan from way back,a nd loved watching Staubach and Aikman...I was hoping they would do better.

Report Offensive Commentsithlord.............what about Kenseth around 5 years ago...............1 win all season,never had a pole......................newman wins 7 or 8 races .......yet kenseth is champion.......................i dont like the chase and that year is a good example of why many people dont like the chase setup

Report Offensive CommentLydia You make a valid point but if you recall when Mr. Kenseth won the Cup Championship that year, he was the model of consistency. Running in the top
10 all year can win you a title.

Report Offensive CommentJJ is a loser and a joke as a driver. Willie T. Ribbs was better then JJ. Their is a little lady out their who could the the doors off JJ. Bring her on broad she will bring in more fans and she is a major role model for young ladys. She not a loud mouth and a name caller like JJ Yeley. We need more class not **** in NACAR.

Report Offensive Commentthunder don't agree with your JJ and Yeley comments, but do agree with your very last statement about needing more class in Nascar.
