More Takes On Chase For The Championship

Written by George Katinger · January 25, 2004

It’s always about the money, when you get down to it. And the focus is no longer on the fan at the track, it’s about the TV viewers. Since the media began pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into NASCAR, it always has been about the TV ratings.

With 10 or more drivers within 50-75 points of each other in the last ten races of the year, you know there will definitly be some close, contentious, fender bangin’, finger pointin’, pit lane cussin’ contest this year. Can you say “WWF on wheels”?

    I can say “Excitement”! It has been very stale the past few years of Cup racing. It is not exciting to begin the Championship countdown with five races left and the leader needs to finish in 20th or better. Now drivers will have to really race for the Cup and perform their best at the end of the season, just like in other sports. Rusty Wallace “Mr November”, it has a nice ring to it.

Got something to say?
