CONGRATS NASCAR!!

Chase will go to top 10, plus 2 biggest winners: Twelve NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers will make the Chase for the Sprint Cup in 2011 -- the top 10 in points and the two drivers not in the top 10 who have the most race victories in NASCAR's 26-race regular season. NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France goes is expected to confirm that arrangement, along with a points system that gives 43 points to race winners and then one-point increments down to just one point for the last-place finisher. Each driver who leads a lap will get one bonus point, and regular-season race winners are expected to get two or three Chase bonus points for each victory. There will be no knockout rounds in the Chase, as NASCAR had hinted at earlier.(SPEED)(1-26-2011

No it's not at all. Sure the TV ratings and attendance is down but most of this will fix it's self imo once the economy gets turned around. Last year the racing was awesome all year and came down to the closing laps to determine the championship and I expect this year to be just as good if not better.

Don't you think with an economic down turn the TV ratings should have risen and attendance declined? No, they both went down. Nascar is going downhill because of all the changes and Brian France. Believe it or not. They lost hardcore fans and now they are paying for it.
