After a rough patch for the sport, NASCAR just dropped big news: The Chase format is making a full return in 2026! No more elimination-style playoffs—now, consistency will finally matter again. Mark Martin, the ultimate old-school points guy, even stood with Steve O’Donnell to back the move. While it’s not the full throwback some wanted, it’s a real step toward uniting classic and modern fans. Could this be the moment that brings everyone back together? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR
