1. Took too long. Clearly, Brian France drove this result.
2. And Boyer skates.

Good for Gordon but why is there no penalty for Boyer in all this mess?

NASCAR has to make sure the results turn out the right way. Maybe this last decision will inspire Gordon to push down on the gas pedal a little harder.

There was a points penalty against Bowyer (50 pts), but it was accessed before they reset the points for the Chase. So at the end... it had no effect on him at all. Of course, many people think Bowyer should have been booted from the Chase all-together.

I can't stand the chase, and this doesn't help matters. NASCAR is on a very slippery slope. How many times has a teammate let another teammate lead a lap so they can get points? Why is it OK to manipulate a race in July, but not right before the chase starts? Can you imagine the NFL allowing another team into the playoffs because of a bad call?
What happens at Talladega when a teammate not in the chase helps another car by drafting and pushing his teammate to a higher position. Isn't that effectively manipulating the outcome?

Is it bad that I follow NHRA and still can't figure out how their chase works? At least the NASCAR chase still follows some weird format, even though their points system was decided by throwing darts at a board of numbers.
That being said F1's points method works, don't finish 10th or better, no soup for you.

^The truest post on here. I no longer watch NASCAR and I don't miss it.
I've gone without cable for two years now, and that means that I've missed the races that weren't on network TV.
No huge loss... and that has been $1500 that I've spent on other stuff.

I'm without cable as well (for the past 8 months), and don't really even watch NASCAR when I can get it over the air. I just have no interest in it anymore.
