Jimmie Johnson's Take On the Points System

He believed, based on performance during the regular season, the finale should have been between Harvick, Team Penske drivers Logano and Brad Keselowski, and Jeff Gordon...

I agree, these drivers were the class of the field during the entirety of the season.

''We need to do something to drive the viewership up,'' said Johnson, who supports heat races capped by a final A main-style race slotted into a television window.
''Maybe we qualify on Saturday and that's televised, and then run some heat races and a feature on Sunday, in a four-hour time window,'' he said. ''It sticks to our roots, sticks with what we've always had and done, gives some natural pauses for the show for the social element at the track. I think that would be a pretty entertaining format.''

And a great idea. It is all about viewership and attendance, money. Plain and simple, NASCAR is a big money sport and without millions of fans watching and buying tickets, NASCAR withers.
 
Hey All,

No argument from me. I think this chase format needs some work but the idea of a "post season" I think is absolutely sound. Grandpa's way just can't cut it in this day and age.
