  Since its inception in 2004 the Chase has been one of the more contentious issues among fans. I know many of you don’t like it. So I think it’s interesting every year to look at the standings as if we were still under the old points syste...

  And then there were two. Phoenix and Homestead are the only two remaining races before we put the 2009 season in the books.  And I’ve got to say, I’m a little bummed. This time of year is always a little bitter sweet for me.  I know the...

  We have just two races to go before the chase for the Sprint Cup begins and at this point there is still a lot of room for change. Off the top I know I lot of people aren’t fans of the Chase format. The format could potentially reward someone w...
