romankimberly+FollowDid NASCAR’s Playoff Rule Change Go Too Far?Anyone else frustrated by how the old top-30 rule is gone? Watching Burton and SVG lock playoff spots despite being way down in points just feels off. Sure, it’s cool to see underdogs win, but shouldn’t consistency matter more? Trackhouse’s move with SVG is smart, but is it good for the sport? The old rule at least made sure winners were legit contenders. Curious what everyone thinks—should NASCAR bring it back or is this just the new normal? #NASCAR #PlayoffDebate #RacingRivalries #Sports #Racing30Share
lisa79+FollowMark Martin Calls Out NASCAR’s Playoff SnubIs NASCAR really listening to its fans? Hall of Famer Mark Martin, the “race fans’ voice,” isn’t buying it. After his fan poll showed a huge majority want the old 36-race championship back, Martin clapped back at critics like Kenny Wallace, who claim only “old people” care. With 21,000+ votes and 60% favoring tradition, Martin’s not letting NASCAR off the hook for ignoring the fanbase. The debate’s heating up—should the sport ditch the current playoff format? #NASCAR #MarkMartin #PlayoffDebate #Sports #Racing51Share
jennifer23+FollowIs the Playoff Format Really Broken?After Shane van Gisbergen’s shock win in Mexico, the debate over NASCAR’s playoff format is heating up again. The "win and in" rule means a guy like SVG, sitting 30th in points, is suddenly in the postseason, while steady drivers like Chase “The People’s Champ” Elliott keep racking up points but get overlooked. Elliott’s consistency is impressive, but fans want wins, not just good points days. Is the system flawed, or does it just show how much winning still matters in NASCAR? #NASCAR #ChaseElliott #PlayoffDebate #Sports #Racing10Share
