NASCAR's TV ratings have been up this year though. Id say its a sign of the times. Toyota is winning and their ratings are up.
Im not a fan of the chase either. It was always set up so that the driver who was the most consistent over a wide range of tracks all year long won the championship.
Now they have this whole playoff system, where they reset the points for the last 10 races and IMO it diminishes the original spirit of the points system.
They did modify it by giving you a certain number of bonus points for number of wins (because a couple seasons back all the drivers in the top 10 just cruised around and raced for points instead of going for wins in the last few races), but IMO they need to go back to like it was and get rid of the chase.
Id also like to see it go back to being real stock car racing. Take the car off the showroom floor, put in whatever safety equipment they need and tell the teams to modify the car as much as possible while sticking with the stock design. IMO, that would much better reflect what the best car is and at least then they could test technology that might someday end up on production cars. Id like to see them do something like what you see in SCCA or European Touring Car racing.
I still like NASCAR though. I grew up watching it and I will likely always watch it.
