Interesting that they partnered up with the Tourette Syndrome Association of Texas. I didn’t know Tourette’s was so common as to have it’s own association in various States.

Mary Beth, Thanks for your comment. Your idea has merit. Considering that NASCAR wants to create excitment The Chase To The Nextel Cup could get some sort of facelift considering that JJ did it four times. Because the TV ratings were down and ticket sales overall were not good. Sure the recession had something to do with ticket sales and if the races were exciting then the TV ratings should have been up.

My thought is that under the old system you had to be ahead all year, not just 10 races. If the powers that be think that re-racking the points for a set amount of races is such a splendid idea and increases fan interest…why not do it 3 times, 12 races each. Marybeth
