Jeff Burton—aka The Mayor—just dropped some real talk on NASCAR’s big 2026 championship format shakeup. While Mark Martin calls it the “perfect compromise,” Burton warns there’s no magic pill to fix years of playoff heartbreak (just ask Denny Hamlin or Connor Zilisch). NASCAR’s owning up to past mistakes, but Burton says it’ll take time—and fan patience—to bring the sport back to its glory days. Are you giving the new format a chance? #Sports #Racing #NASCAR
