Edwards' win at Dover marred by inspection failures 1 Year, 2 Months ago	Karma: 0
DOVER, Del. -- His car parked on the track because of a late-race red flag, Carl Edwards had time to catch replays on the big screen of the crash that wiped out other Chase drivers. Edwards could only think about how lucky he was that he would get away from Dover unscathed. Read more...

It was an interesting race. With all the problems, it brings up an interesting point. Should the contender cars only be scored against each other? Or continue with the rest of the field?

Speaking for myself, I liked the old system better-maybe with some tweaks in it.

But if NASCAR is going to use this system for the last 10 races then only the 12 drivers in the chase should be scored against each other since they earned their spots throughout the season.

You know, I think if they got smart, they could make this chase play off thing work. But, it should be a chase only with the top 12 drivers for the last 10 races. They should be scored only between themselves. That way if you lose an engine or something for one race, it doesn't take you out of it. It will bring the skill back into the event instead of just the chance to avoid bad luck.

That is what they are doing this year. But, are you saying have just 12 cars total in the last 10 races?

Not sure what you mean on this.

I'm saying point wise. That they are having a race with-in a race. That the worst a driver can finish is 12th. And the best driver of the 12 finishes 1st, even if he's actually 10th or where ever for the whole group of 43 drivers. That way, a leader who gets run into or loses an engine in a race would only fall to the bottom of the contenders.
