Well they threatened to do it,now they've done it - the X-Finity & Truck series will have a Chase :rolleyes:

NASCAR XFINITY SERIES CHASE The seven-race NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase will begin at Kentucky Speedway on Sept. 24, and feature 12 drivers and two elimination rounds, with four drivers competing in the Championship 4 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. A win in the first 26 races all but guarantees a driver entry into the NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase, provided the driver is in the top 30 in points and has attempted to qualify for each race. Drivers who win two Dash 4 Cash bonuses are also all but guaranteed a Chase berth.
The first round, called the Round of 12, consists of the races at Kentucky, Dover and Charlotte. All drivers will start with their points adjusted to 2,000, with three additional bonus points added to their total for each win in the first 26 races. If a driver wins a race in the Round of 12, the driver automatically advances to the next round. The remaining available positions (1-8) that have not been filled by wins will be filled on points.
Each driver who advances to the Round of 8 (Kansas, Texas, Phoenix) then will have their points reset to 3,000. Drivers who win a race in the Round of 8 automatically advance to the Championship 4. The remaining available positions (1-4) that have not been filled by wins will be filled on points.
The four drivers who advance to the Championship 4 at Homestead will have their points reset to 4,000. The highest finishing Championship 4 driver will be crowned the NASCAR XFINITY Series champion.
NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES CHASE The seven-race NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase will begin at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sept. 24. It will feature eight drivers and two elimination rounds, with four drivers competing in the Championship 4 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. A win in the first 16 races all but guarantees a driver entry into the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Chase, provided that the driver is in the Top 30 in points and has attempted to qualify for each race.
The first round, called the Round of 8, consists of the races at New Hampshire, Las Vegas, and Talladega. All drivers will have their points adjusted to 2,000, with three additional bonus points added to their total for each win in the first 16 races. If a driver wins a race in the Round of 8, the driver automatically advances to the next round. The remaining available positions (1-6) that have not been filled by wins will be filled on points.
Each driver who advances to the Round of 6 (Martinsville, Texas, Phoenix) then will have their points reset to 3,000. Drivers who win a race in the Round of 6 automatically advance to the Championship 4. The remaining available positions (1-4) that have not been filled by wins will be filled on points. The four drivers who advance to the Championship 4 at Homestead will have their points reset to 4,000. The highest finishing Championship 4 driver will win the championship. All rules outlined above also apply to both series' owner championship structure.(NASCAR)(1-19-2016)

I don't mind having a chase but the current format is stupid. The current formats' pretty much reduce the chase to a step-by-step finals series. I'd much rather see the top 12 drivers go for it as per the format they had a few years ago.

It's not as bad as this shocking rule. It might as well not even be racing anymore. Stupidest rule in the history of auto racing.

15 years today (technically yesterday but happened today over here) since Dale Earnhardt Snr crashed and died at Daytona
 
Hearing some serious hype around this Chase Elliott kid. Just nabbed pole which is pretty impressive. Similar thing that happened to Trevor Bayne a couple years back.

I'm a fan, but there's nothing impressive about getting pole at Daytona. Might even put my foil hat on and say that NASCAR played a part in him getting pole. Daytona pole winners for the last few years have Jeff Gordon, Austin Dillon and Danica Patrick, each of which had a special occasion at the time.

Yep i blame him for the crash but the 10 laps leading up to it were disgusting lol.

Also , lol at Danica's effort , HAD to have hit oil or something...
It remeinded me of when i'm on Turismo and ( as is too often the case ) players can't see other players and you see guys go flying off like they hit an invisible wall.

That it was. He was very lucky that the car didn't come down any more times on the roof than what it did. Looks like it collapsed a bit. Hopefully it's just precautionary, but they've sent him to a local hospital over there.
