Do you hear that? It's NASCAR's credibility flying out the window!

I've had enough.

Brian France won't give a rat's bum, because it makes his idiotic self money, but I'm done with Sprint Cup (Nationwide, too, since Cuppies are allowed to abuse it, and Mike Helton's "genius" self doesn't think there's a problem).

Trucks I'll look forward to, since Cuppies don't abuse it too much, and Modifieds, since those are more exciting than the Big 2 Divisions put together.

But Cup? Forget it.

Congratulations, Brian France. You've officially made the Daytona 500 mean nothing. In fact, you've made the first 35 races on the calendar mean nothing.

The Front Row Motorsports 1-2 at Talladega last May was great for the sport. Little teams don't win much anymore in the era of Hendrick/Gibbs/Roush/Childress.

But those four races are pretty much Front Row's shot at a victory. In no way should either David Ragan or David Gilliland get a shot at a championship off of one well-timed pass!

Also, if Dale Earnhardt, Jr. actually does win the title this year, I hope it's because he was at or near the top of the standings for most of the season, not because he squeaked his way through the first nine races, and then ended up winning the title at Homestead because he finished ahead of the other three hopefuls. That would add absolutely nothing to his legacy. Not in my book, anyway.

And this new format is "simpler"? You've officially made it more convoluted than instructions in Chinese.

What's simple is 36 races, and the driver with the most points collected at the end of those 36 races without any horsecrap like a Chase is crowned the champion. That. Is. Simple.

Yes, F1's idea to make the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix double points is awful, but this is a thousand times worse.

It's too bad not a lot of people watch IndyCar these days. It's exciting without having to resort to stupid gimmicks. And its championship in many recent years has come down to the last race, in some cases, the last lap. No Chase. Just 20+ drivers giving it their all for 19 races.

I'll end this post by linking to this excellent column from Sports on Earth's Matt Crossman:
