You do know that Dale would have 9 or 10 championships had they used the BS system they use today, right?

False. Dale Earnhardt would have won five championships had the chase always been in place.

I personally like the Chase. It's not perfect but it's better than the old system when you often knew who the champion would be by the time they got back to Daytona in July.

I know I'm in the minority but I would rank David Pearson ahead of Petty or Earnhardt in terms of pure driving ability.
