NASCAR drivers are creatures of habit. No one in the world of sports understands the concept of risk-reward better than racecar drivers! The current point's system rewards guys for playing it safe. Let's say you are running in fifth place with ten laps to go with thirty guys still on the lead lap. If you push the issue and spin out you can lose a ton of points. If you win you get the glory of the victory but you only gain twenty-five points in the standings. But if you spin out and finish thirtieth you can lose eighty-two points. Who can blame these guys for playing it safe and point's racing with the Chase for the Championship system in place? Now if NASCAR switches the points in 2007 to reward winning we might see more hard racing for the win. NASCAR you don't even need to hire a consultant or a Nobel mathematician to figure out what changes to make, I have done all the number crunching for you!
