New NASCAR format

Under the new format, races will consist of three stages, with championship implications in each stage. The top-10 finishers in each stage will be awarded additional championship points. The winner of the first two stages of each race will receive one playoff point, and the race winner will receive five playoff points. Each playoff point will be added to a driver's reset total following the 26th race, if that competitor makes the playoffs.
The structure also ensures that competition will be dialed up throughout the duration of the 26-race regular season, as points for both stage winners and race winners will transfer into the postseason -- and an official regular-season champion will be crownded, and rewarded with 15 playoff points to the driver's playoff reset of 2,000. The stage format also gives fans a pair of natural breaks in the action.

Interesting.

They're making it way too complicated. All they need to do is get rid of the chase, have first place worth 40 points, and go in descending order after that(last place will be 1 point). No chase, no segments. Best driver all year wins.

I'm not entirely to sure if I really like or hate this, I guess I'll give it a shot like everything else that has come from Brian France.

I'm watching this presser, it looks like these guys got their marching orders to praise tf outta this new format. I haven't heard one negative from any driver yet

Too complicated.

Right turns?
Not intentionally crashing the driver in front of you with no penalty?

My days of watching are done. This screams trying too hard. Not even going to give it a chance. They've devalued pit stops and race strategy so much

Used to enjoy tuning in on Sunday's, kicking back, and watching a race. They've ruined the sport for me, went to Bristol last spring and it wasn't even half full, it's a shame

Carl Edwards had the right idea and the right timing. Get out, and get out now.

Turn RIGHT! And hurry back.

This needed to be done a long time ago.

When are we starting up the fantasy league?

Horrible rule changes. No wonder the sport is dying.

i mean. shite, pretty soon they are gonna have a fricking hot dog eating contest thrown in there somewhere...
do they really think this is helping their cause? hell, long time NASCAR fans can't keep up with all the new rules and formats, and points systems... how in the ever living hell do they think people new to NASCAR will be able to understand and keep up with it all?

This new format is dumb. So much for the Coca-Cola 600
