well, since john stopped racing i don't really have a favorite driver. I have a few i like, and i few i despise, so that puts me in a kind of unique position that i can actually enjoy the racing more. there's a bunch of guys that it wouldn't bother me if they won the championship. so....with all the changes to the chase and so on it doesn't really affect me that much. however, i don't feel like it will help their goal of attracting new fans: for example, i don't like basketball and i can't think of anything basketball could change to make me more interested in it. also, they say it will make the chase easier for fans to understand; well it MAY make the last race easier with 4 guys going for the championship, but to me they made the rest of the chase way more confusing, so that to me is a wash. in the end, like i said before-they just do too much changing, too often. the other major sports they want the respect of hardly ever change their rules. nascar needs to take a lesson.
