In response to "I don't really follow the sport but it seems like NASCAR fans are like we want playoffs. Joey Logano wins: NOT LIKE THAT" by JD

I mean, one driver could win 28 season races, and another wins 1 race and they could win the championship.

I don't think it's illegitimate that he is the champion, because Logano won races during the Playoffs, too.

But it's like a team going 28-1 and another going 1-28 and still winning a championship.

It definitely has its holes.

Bring back the old way with no playoffs and just let the best driver win. If you want to incentivize wins, give the winner a big point bonus. - Will Hunting Nov 11, 11:07 3
- I never really paid attention to it before, but this "history" of how the points are awarded is brain spiraling. -- (link) - JaxSean Nov 11, 11:30
- Heh. Real chance that I've been brainwashed by Premier League fandom but I'm becoming a no playoffs fan when feasible -- (edited) - JD Nov 11, 11:23 1
  - I think it could in theory work if you actually just limit the 'playoffs' to the playoff contenders, and then don't do this arbitrary cut-off...but... - Will Hunting Nov 11, 11:38
sidenote: I hate Logano, and I hate Larson more, but Larson dominated the season. - JaxSean Nov 11, 11:03
