Greg Biffle #16
"Nothing is as good as the first time." We've all heard that old adage, at some point in time. This is particularly true when it comes to NASCAR championship format, the Chase for the Championship.
When Brian France and his team of proven components of this innovative way to determine the champion in 2004, it was a trick indeed, but in the same time, it envisages a barn in flames Battle the annual championship, which few and format of the previous championship.
The new format was widely ridiculed by the traditionalists, and many drivers. Some fans have pledged to boycott the last ten races, but most of them in line with prying eyes. As September approaches, interest began to sink. In this hot summer night Richmond, Virginia, Jeremy Mayfield and Ryan Newman just squeezed into the top ten dramatically, while Kasey Kahne, Jamie McMurray, Kevin Harvick, Dale Jarrett, and has missed the cut.
Heading into the first Chase Championship, Hendrick Motorsports drivers Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon emerged as Favorites, and he dominated the first 26 races, winning nine combined. Other solid favorite Dale Earnhardt Jr., who won four races this season Regular and Ryan Newman, who at the time was an pilots most streaky and very well could hit his way as he did in Last season.
However, Kurt Busch and rebuilt as a master race of consistency, finishing in the top ten in nine of the last ten career. Meanwhile, Johnson limping during the first half of the Chase for the championship, but won four of the last six races at about 18 points Busch. Gordon was only 21 points behind Busch in the final position of the season. That's exactly what NASCAR intended tight battle until the end, with three drivers stars.
The race was full of drama. As no chaser Greg Biffle dominated the race, the championship hopes of Busch and Johnson had to fight adversity. Johnson started the race with the terrible position the subject, and Busch had a wheel, as they fall bites green early in the race. Busch avoided a complete disaster and patiently and methodically worked the way back forward. Johnson and Gordon also made their way forward. But Johnson could not pass Biffle for the win and settled for second place. Gordon finished third. Everything I needed was that Busch false. In the latter stages of the race, passing Jamie Busch McMurray took positions and Brendan Gaughan. He recovered to finish in fifth position, then take to win his first Sprint Cup championship.
The drama was intense until the last lap. NASCAR arrogance might have laughed at cynics.
Good thing I did not. Four seasons have occurred since the completion of the suspended first for the Chase for the Championship, and none even come close to matching the intensity or level of arousal. In 2005, Tony Stewart, owned by 52 points ahead of Jimmie Johnson location in the season finale. While 52 points is not exactly a mountain to climb, Johnson would have needed nearly flawless race, and performance Poor Stewart. Well, Stewart was poor in this race as one of the most aggressive drivers in NASCAR to ensure, but Johnson blew a tire and completed 40.
The 2006 version of the battle for the championship has been equally disappointing. Johnson went to the final of the season Homestead, with 63 point lead over Matt Kenseth. In 2007, only get worse. Johnson, who belongs to 86-point lead over his Hendrick teammate Jeff Gordon Motorsports. Only get worse from here. In 2008, Johnson, who owns a commanding 141 point lead over Carl Edwards.
In each of the four years since 2004, the battle for the championship has become less of a battle, more like one man.
In contrast, traditional championship format, it would have been one of the battles of the most exciting championships in the decade. Johnson would have had 56 points beforehand, but he finished fifteenth, while Edwards won the race, leading the most laps, Edwards won the title by 16 points. For most of the race, Johnson Edwards had fought in the car more quickly Bar None. The drama was intensified until the last lap.
NASCAR changed the Chase for the championship format since its implementation, but the addition of two slots, and adding ten bonus points for winning a race during the regular season championship format has not remedied the poor.
It helps the series title Craftsman Truck, and even to some extent, the battle for the Nationwide Series, to the wire under the traditional format.
NASCAR can not return back in the championship format. What is done is done, and must comply with their weapons. Obviously, this format is not perfect, but can be adjusted. Unfortunately, even some adjustment can not guarantee a championship fight exciting. Either format, there is sometimes a single driver and team who are faster and more luck than others. Over the past three years, the driver Jimmie Johnson.
