Those comparisons are next to pointless (pardon the pun) as each year the teams and drivers play to the system. That's why Johnson was so successful as he and Knaus worked towards the play off.
Yes Logano won less and achieved less top 5s, however that is what the system is all about. Last man standing. It isn't about who is the best or fastest. Nascar want drama and headlines of the favourites falling by the wayside. It is shitty but it is what it is. Logano is a shitty champion, but he's a champion.
In NHL or NFL, the best team of the year doesn't always win. If that was the case the Washington Capitals would be a many time Stanley Cup winner. Yet they typically choke in the playoffs.
Or the San Jose Sharks...
Yes. You’re right. It’s fun to speculate and such, but it’s a moot point at the end. The rules are what they are. A problem. Leave it at that.

The Steven Bradbury of racing (though I once saw Bradbury race in Formula Vee at Morgan Park!).
Fair play to him though. He did what he had to. People should blame NASCAR, not him. It's not his fault the series has turned to utter shite.
Oscar Piastri in F1! Catch the fever! Vettel Hate Club. Life membership.
