Changes to the chase for 2007


Just hen brian France said there would be no changes to the chase anytime soon, now comes this story that was just posted on Jayski:


NASCAR to expand Chase field and more points for wins in 2007: The Nextel Cup 2007 season will feature more points for victories and more drivers in the Chase for the Cup, NASCAR vice president of corporate communications Jim Hunter said this afternoon. How many points and how many drivers are being determined, Hunter said during a visit to USA TODAY's newsroom in McLean, Va. "We're still running the models," Hunter said, adding that an official announcement will be made during NASCAR's media tour Jan. 22-26 in Charlotte.NASCAR added the Chase for the Cup in 2004 with the top 10 drivers in the points standings and anyone within 400 points of the leader, competing in the final 10 races for the Cup championship.(USA Today)(1-4-2007)


Personally I think the top 10 drivers fit the chase well.....  I like the idea of more points for victorties, but I really think they should leave the 10 drivers alone.

they said all along that in three years there might be changes....this will be the fourth year this time around.


twelve drivers are a good number..........if the winner gets more points, then pole winners in the Chase only should get some points as well. (this coming from a fan of Jr. who we all know doesnt get poles)

Well.... if NASCAR is changing their points system, that might leak over to LDR as well. The council will have to discuss this after NASCAR makes it offficial.
