Yeah, Jimmie Johnson would have only won 2 championships had NASCAR been using the old format. Jimmie's team knows how to beat the system.

Champions in the old format would have been:

04 Jeff Gordon
05 Tony Stewart
06 Jimmie Johnson
07 Jeff Gordon
08 Carl Edwards
09 Jimmie Johnson

Jeff Gordon would be a 6 time champ.

The diversity would be more exciting. I have been a fan since 90 and man it was exciting back then. I swear with debris cautions and green white checker bullsh*t, last year was SO close to WWE I could not stand to watch! I mean how many people really thought anyone else had a chance to win the chase but Jimmie. Don't get me wrong I am not a Jimmie "hater" but damn, nobody is that consistent!!

Dang here I am on that soap box again......

Don't say that about Jimmie! His fans will jump you like a heart attack and say you're just jealous and you have no proof! LOL

Us guys with eyes can see what they do for the stars.

Right on!! I have learned to qualify my statement with "he is a very talented driver" and "I am not a JJ hater"!

But yes all you have to do is pay attention, it is not that hard to see!

Better wait and see first boys. I'm guessing about the third time either JG or JJ or JR get put in the wall the reigns will be back on. Believe it when you see it.

And with the cars, Take off the restrictor plates and give them a 4 inch spoiler at all tracks and see who the real drivers are.

So what are your opinions of Danica coming over this year?

I was wondering how she will be recieved in the "boys club". I don't doubt her driving skills, but it is a different world from IRL.

I, myself really am not a fan of Danica. She's been in some of the best equipment in Indycar for years now and has one win. On the other hand she has made some tremendous driving errors and always blames her mistakes on other drivers. She's mostly hype IMO and just what NASCAR is looking for to get their attendance and ratings back up. More "show" than go I think.

Eh, I'm routing for her. I kinda want to see a good female NASCAR driver. Eric Crocker was a disappointment.
