Vote: NASCAR's New Cup 'Chase'


Matt Kenseth
Matt Kenseth, King of Consistency
NASCAR is creating its own postseason of sorts -- the "Chase for the Championship."

In response to criticism that the NASCAR points contest rewarded consistency instead of the ability to win races, NASCAR is creating a final drive to the championship -- the 10 races at the end of the season will determine the NASCAR champ. For more details, click here.

We want to know what SportsNation thinks of NASCAR's move. Vote now.
  • 1) Matt Kenseth won only one race on his way to the NASCAR championship. How legitimate is a championship with only one race victory?
  • 2) Do you think Kenseth's title called for action on NASCAR's part?
  • 3) What do you think of NASCAR's 10-race shootout for the championship?
  • 4) Will a champion crowned under the new system be more deserving or less deserving than one under the old system?
  • 5) NASCAR will award an additional five points to race winners in 2004. Does it make sense to give a bonus for winning?
  • 6) How will the 10-race shootout affect your viewing interest?
  • 7) Would NASCAR have made this move if Jeff Gordon or Dale Earnhardt Jr. had won the championship with only one race victory?
