no I am definatly nerdy enough to do it. I don't know why I like figuring random things out like that. It took me alittle over an hour. half that time was putting together an excel worksheet to calculate it all and the other half was plugging the numbers.

the other day I had a freind that wondered if he had a delorean if he could get it up to 88 mph before he hit the building on the other side of the parking lot at work and he insisted he could and I said I didn't think he could. when I got home I looked up all of the information on the car and figured out the size of the parking lot and determined he would get to 76-77 MPH before hitting the building. He still insisted he can do it.

The only ones that lose spots in this new system are the Busch brothers. Just emphasize that fact and 90% of Nascar fans would support the change. |

Who cares about 5th? And according to the expert Gordon would finish in the back in the new points. Jimmie Johnson: 388 Kevin Harvick: 387 Denny Hamlin: 386 Carl Edwards: 340 Matt Kenseth: 314 Greg Biffle: 293 Tony Stewart: 287 Jeff Gordon: (+1) 279 Clint Bowyer: (+1) 272 Kyle Busch: (-2) 267 Kurt Busch: 265 Jeff Burton: 232 And I'm talking about championships not laboring to finish 5th or talking about just last year.

the difference is your "expert" calculated the chase. My comparison was the 2003 points system against against the new points system without the chase to show you there isn't a big difference in the standing regaurdless of how many points they award. It just further shows the chase is what screws everything up since it makes the first 26 races useless. |

BTW, there is going to be a live NASCAR News Conference on ESPN at 7PM. Most likely to announce the new point system. |

Changes seem to be exactly what was said before. Honestly it seems the same. Less math involved to figure out if youre driver is gonna pass anyone in points. Hes 3 points back and hes 4 spots ahead....ok he just passed em in points. Its simple enough. Winnin meanin more is nice too. So meh, its an ok change I guess |

So what I'm to gather is Brian France has no faith in his driver's or fan's ability to do simple math? |

He talked about qualifying having to do with practice or something to that effect too. Not really a fan of neither change. |

Nice that they finally got a closed fuel system too. Seemed very out of date usin the old way. Also be nice when they switch to fuel injection in 2012 |
