"Classic" Points Standings

[harvick#1]

At least the Classic standings are real.

It is what it is, Brian France is a F-up and needs to leave along with POS Sprint and Nationwide

Good thread, interesting thread.

Jeff Gordon has over a 1000 point lead over Harvick and has dominated the season.

[harvick#1]

when you take a lot at most of Harvick's races, you can only laugh them off how much bad luck hes had

he should easily have well over 500 or so more points from just bad luck

but this is what it is, there is no more 36 season standing schedule, it ended in 2003, there is the playoff now and those classic standing don't mean anything, because nascar doesn't use them anymore, and prolly never will again

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 & TOOK 4 championships by total domination ... (1995-1997-1998-2001)

Bobby Labonte (2000) & Terry Labonte (1984-1996) masterfully used consistancy to win championships ...

Dale Earnhardt AGGRESIVELY drove for every point to be "the man" 7 times ...
(1980-1986-1987-1990-1991-1993-1994)

Alan Kulwicki did the math to edge Bill Elliott by 10 points in the LAST race of the season ... (1992)

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)
The Champions I listed above raced EVERY race to the best of their ability & used all their cars could give.

The CLASSIC Points were for the ENTIRE season, not a phony 10 race "winner take all" senario !

your driver was the main reason of the stupid chase :

As I have already stated, Kenseth would have won with any point system.
