Why the heck are we going to New Hampshire twice, both times after Daytona? The schedule shake up could have gone better. Pocono could have lost a race, I do'nt know what I think of Michigan having 2 races anymore. I think Las Vegas deserves a second race more than Kansas.. California, deservedely, lost a race

 

Hi `Duane, I was looking forward to your post and your comments on the Race Schedule....I think it all comes down to $ Money $...I also was surprised by the revisions...

I'm just happy that some of the races will be on Fox (Public T.V.)

Interesting picks by the writers in below link...
Seven are unanimous to make Chase in '11

 

Yeah, they unanimously said that Clint Bowyer would make the chase over guys like Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards, and Matt Kenseth. WHAT??

 

smoke no.10? no way.minor schedule changes,i say if nascar REALLY wants some drama or game 7 excitement in the chase they will make talladega race no.10

 

I like Rodman's list - he doesn't think a single Ford is in! I can understand why Jr isn't a popular pick, but I honestly thinks he's got as good of a crack at making the Chase Logano. Leaving Martin of this list is ridiculous! Big deal - he missed in 2010 (for once)! He was also the highest rank non-chaser at seasons end and would have finished 5th in the points had he made the Chase cut (trust me, I've calculated). He's still the best points chaser IMO - for him to miss they'd have to totally restructure the points system or have Hendricks really hang 'em out to dry

I used to hit every race at Michigan for about a 5 year span. Saw Wallace, Earnhardt, Martin, Jarrett, and Elloitt win there. Also hit the Daytona 500 for about 7 years and Charlotte 600 till we had a child. Some are fun bit the tv screen is best. I go to Indy quals every year and have been there to the race once or twice. About 18 years ago me and wife hit the Bristol Busch race on the way to Myrtle Beach. That was a blast. Michigan is a boring race there and on Tv. Canadians go there.

 

Any time Canadians show up, it ruins the fun, right?

If you don't want to read this article, basically they're talking about giving the winner 43 points, 2nd place 42 points, etc. Now if they do this, and leave bonus points the same, bonus points are worth a lot more. And this new system would reward consistency much better than the old system, as the old system had 5 point gaps, 4 point gaps, and 3 point gaps throughout the field.

I think all of these changes every year should give the President of the Fantasy League here (Me) the right to change this crap up on everyone in order to really **** everyone off!!!! :-D Speaking of which, I think I am going to finalize the rules sometime in the next week or so. When I do, would you be so kind as to post the topic to the top of the page, 'Space?

Speaking of Presidents, I bet Brian France, as President of NASCAR, has a lower approval rating among his fans than the President of the US has among voters.
