Congrats to Kevin Harvick for clinching the 2010 "Winston Cup" Championship at Phoenix......

Now, can he get it done at Homestead so the Chase Champion and real champion will again be one and the same, just as it was last year, or is he gonna come up short and allow someone else who doesn't deserve it get it, like 2004,2007, and 2008.

One important part of the points system that seemingly is never mentioned but important is once the season rolls to the July race at Daytona, if a team is set for the Chase, they will go into "chequers or wreckers". Nothing but wins matter, and they will do risks that they would not do under the traditional points system knowing the race can be "discarded" similarly to what happened in many FIA points systems.
