Hand Him The Petty
Jimmie Johnson already has a concrete monster trophy this year. What if NASCAR had a Heisman? We'll call it the Petty Trophy, and JJ gets that, too.
The Chase! Part Deux
You want Chase drama? Let's end the 10-race playoff at Daytona ... on a figure-eight course ... and force the winner to run a match race against Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the title.
Love To Hate
Jimmie Johnson is on the cusp of staking claim to being one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history, so why isn't he revered? The man who holds that "greatest" title thinks the problem is you.
Time To Get It Right
Two things we know -- plate racing is now a joke, and the Chase has no clothes, either. NASCAR's usual method of tweaking isn't enough this time. It must get fixed.
