DRIFTER_016 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Looks like they're changing up the chase this year. Don't know how I feel about the new format yet. We'll have to see how it goes this season. http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2014/1/30/chase-for-the-nascar-sprint-cup-championship-format-changes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 From what I understand at this point it may be OK.It could make an exciting final race.I'd have to say it will be better than it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well it will be interesting by the sounds of it. Anything is better than what has been the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdougy Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I will go out on a limb and guess.... with this new format and attempt to spark interest and to start filling their half empty stands. That D.E. II will have a little something extra under the hood by race end, and win the Daytona 500. It will be like poetry written by the Franze family. I do believe there is some advantages awarded once in a while. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Last years 500 was the worst race I've seen. They just lined up and everybody was afraid to make a move. Had to be the worst last 10 laps in Daytona history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyboss Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 This might just get me back into being a fan. Ever since they've started the CHASE I've lost all interest. And only watched a few races a year, Daytona and Talladega. I agree last years Daytona 500 was one of the worst races of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Back in the day when I was a big fan I would go to 2-3 races a year and you always had to order your tickets months in advance or you would be SOL, I was shocked two years ago when I was in Daytona with a buddy and a couple of weeks before the race he walked up to the box office and basically could get any seat he wanted. The new good ole boys just don`t have it in my opinion....miss... DW,Rusty,Dale, the Allisons etc. these guys came to race...today`s drivers seem to be more worried about their hair style!!!!

misfish Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Don't forget the best little track on the circuit, Bristol!!! Use to be the best ticket to get.3-4 year waiting list. Now you can buy a ticket like said,at the gate. I cant remember seeing seats empty as they were last year. ALL RACES. Bring a super track to Canada. SOLD OUT everytime I,ll bet.

Tayzak15 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I love the new format however if the final race is for all the marbles wouldn't it be cool if they moved the Daytona 500 to the end of the season to be the championship deciding race rather than Homestead Miami?

tb4me Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Looks like they have changes qualifying too. They switched to the Indy and F1 style..From what I understand the best cars will race.Sadly I quit watching most races after the may long weekend as its river fishing time..Walleye n pike are way more fun to watch...

danc Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Problem with the new format is that Jimmie (or insert any name here) can win the first 35 races, and finish second in the 36th race, and not win the championship. I know that its not gonna happen but I dont like the idea of racing well all year long and losing the championship on a loose lugnut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
