IMO, "playoffs" for racing is one of the dumber things Nascar has ever done.

Racing is not a stick/ball sport where you only compete against one team at a time.   In racing you compete against every team every week.

Scrap the entire "chase" and go back to the way it was when you had to be the best for the entire season to win the championship.

Probably won't affect my Nascar viewing much though, I have a hard time staying awake through a whole race.  

Too many tracks where there isn't any meaningful racing till the last few laps.  Could just as well shorten a bunch of them down to however many laps they can run on one tank of fuel.
