    Nah you have to be Jeff Gordon to be labeled a whiner. Everyone elses comments are just considered legitiimate concerns.
    Don't take anything I post too seriously folks.

    Your spelling needs improved. I believe you meant "Winner" instead of "Whiner" when mentioning Jeff Gordon.

    And be careful if you post something that is not critical of everything NASCAR does or some people will call you a NASCAR Lackey.

    That the exact same thing I tell all the Jeff Gordon haters.

    Unless it's Tony Stewart, then it cause he's PO'd. I like Tony too. He came from CART(yahoo)and he's a winner too.

    I like reading Poole's articles too. I think the only other writer that has as much respect as David is Monte Dutton. Mulhern should be reporting for the National Enquirer.
    I'm choosing Joey Logano as my avatar. I feel he is a worthy ally.

    I don't think he's changed his mind per se. I think he's arguring for argument's sake. Trying to show some of the lack of logic and reality in some people's reasoning for why they don't like things.

    Like me, he's highly amused that the former point's system which people always claimed to hate is now referred to as "Classic".

    It's fine to not like things that change, there are many things that change that I don't like. But people should be intellecutally honest with themselves and not just climb on the latest complaining bandwagon.

    Most people will admit that the old systems wasnt perfect and would have changed it. But most people wouldnt have implimented the chase, they would have just rewarded the winner more.

    And when a driver had a long winning streak and wrapped up the championship in mid-September due to the winner getting more points than before, the ones calling for more points to the winner would suddenly forget that they were calling for such a change. They would suddenly be longing for the "Classic Points System" again.
