For next year's pool, if there is one, we will still use the stages for favorites, but I'm thinking that the stages were overweighted compared to the wins. So, the stage wins will probably be worth on 10 pts, but the race will still be 50 points. The reason why is that the racers only get a max of 10 points for a stage, and only 1 playoff point. This season was weird as there were 3 dominant racers, and it really wasn't that hard to make selections with that fact. We might have 4 picks vs. 3 picks to make it more challenging.

Any suggestions, please post them. Who knows, NASCAR might change scoring rules again. The final race caught me off guard as the C4 officially didn't get stage points, but the other drivers did. Just to throw a curve at the end, we might go with official scores, but still allow someone picking a favorite to get the bonus points, but no stage points. That might give someone out of the top 3 a slightly better chance to catch up by not picking those in the C4.

I was able to go from 10th to 1st by not picking the top 3

I was kind of hoping that the guys off the podium would pick outside the the top three as well, trying to do the hail mary, like crazed and me. I hope that Chevy comes back with a better package next season. Hendrick MotorSports didn't do all that well this season, as well as other Chevys, but Stewart Haas did the right move by going with Ford.

Who will win the first race with a "Mustang"?

Thanks again Crazed and Dara for putting this together- hopefully it will continue next season. Dara, I think it's a good idea to drop the scoring of stages down- would make it more competitive.

Probably wont be Kurt Busch, pretty sure he will be driving the 1 car for Chip Ganassi next year, less Monster comes up with more sponsor dollars for the 41, but they only fund 2 year terms, doubt that will happen given they are cup sponsors as well, pretty safe to say he is gone, less something huge happens, soon, very,
