Bottom post of the previous page:

When Kenseth won the Cup title he did it with only one win from the 36 races, and he only fluked into the Las Vegas win cos whoever was in front of him ran out of fuel at the end.

Actually, what he did back then, is the reason for the Chase we have now as France went apeshit that Kenseth could win being Mr Consistent and poor old Ryan Newman won seven times (I think) and lost, he completely ignored the fact that Newman ended up on his roof more times than Kenseth won races that year, and because simple old Brian couldn't work out consistency paid more than raw speed and wrecks, he assumed the rest of the word were as thick as him and voila, invented the Chase.

It's sort of cool that NASCAR is able to guarantee that a champion "will" be crowned from scratch at the finale and sell that. If I were not a follower of a certain sport, I'd tune in for that. Like when I tuned in for the 2008 Superbowl and that was the only NFL game I've ever watched till date. But in NASCAR's case, it's of course done at the legitimacy of sporting integrity. But again that's debatable as NASCAR and words like legitimacy and integrity have never been usable in the same sentence anyway.

Despite liking him the least of any driver in Sprint Cup, I'd like to see Logano win the next race as well. That way he'll have won each of the Contender 12 races and by doing so making an even bigger mockery of NASCAR's grandiose wins = progression than Ryan Newman did in 2014.
What was I saying?

Jeff Gordon wins! That's pretty sweet! Hope he can bag that 5th title finally. He's already taken the most points in a season of everyone 7 times, he's well deserved another title also.

Indeed. Isn't that what Kyle Busch said recently? Nascar are at least consistent with being inconsistent.

The worst part in my opinion? If Logano doesn't end up one of final 4 title contenders, he'll have every reason to take Kenseth's head at Homestead.

Because that's just what I want to see when I attend this year's race: Live vehicular manslaughter.
