I like the Chase format....I am a Jr fan. He is the reason he doesnt make the Chase. He makes stupid mistakes in every race, loses his composure, and so forth....also he runs into some bad luck sometimes, as an innocent by stander who gets taken out in a wreck....but this happens to a lot of the drivers. Just seems that with Jr, it happens more. Hopefully, he will continue with this newfound aggression...cause that kind of driving is in his bloodline and if he does stay aggressive, I see him making the Chase, year in and year out.
My 2 biggest beefs with the sport are
1. like 5 networks have the TV contract throughout the year. I like NASCAR on FOX as far as NEXTEL Cup....give me the Nationwide on TNT. I feel those two can adaquately cover the sport and we will know where to find the race every week.
2. I know it is tradition, but can we move the Daytona 500 to the last race of the season, since it is the Super Bowl of NASCAR?
