Yeah, the young bucks may embrace the Chase ...
but to us long-time fans the classic points mean something ...
the classic points system was used when :
Jeff Gordon won the most races &

Dale Earnhardt
AGGRESIVELY drove for every point to be "the man" 7 times ...

Alan Kulwicki did the math to edge Bill Elliott by 10 points in the

Rusty Wallace finally got his well-deserved championship ... (1989)
(several times Rusty Wallace won the most races but fell short for the championship)
Bill Elliott won the most races & edged Rusty Wallace by only 24 points ... (1988)
Darrell Waltrip raced with his ability & his intelligence to win the championship 3 times ... (1981-1982-1985)
