Reason why I'm for it: It makes teams have more incentive to win to qualify.
Reason why I'm against it: Some jackass can win at Daytona or Talladega with the restrictor plate and qualify, or move to the next round in the chase with the Talladega fall race.
That being said, this eliminates the 48/18 style of aiming to finish fifth every race and puts them in the position to win a race or two, which they are more than capable of doing. But I'm not a fan of win one race and you qualify.
I dunno. Willing to watch a season of it and see how it goes. That last race at Homestead will be legit though.

Fair enough
I personally like more guys gunning for the checkers, but I do see your point as well.
Only flaw of a finishing-position based points system: the better drivers can afford to points race most weeks and they will do that if they can get away with it. And I don't blame them, tbh. Less risky that way.

In the past 5 seasons, Jimmie has won 26 races and Kyle has won 16 races. That's 23% of all races.
