I have seen the future; and it doesn't include NASCAR. 

I don't know if this new Chase format is going to bring many new fans to the sport; but I do know that it's energized the current fan base.

Every once in a while, I hear someone calling for the use of instant replay in NASCAR.  Please, NO!

I'm really interested to see how the next three races in the Chase go.  So far, it's been pretty much according to plan.  Three teams that have been among the strongest all year, won the races.  And, for the most part, the folks you expected to make it into the top 12, did.
