Not only do they get Toyota money but they'll also have a 'technical alliance' with Gibbs. Which really means that Gibbs now has five cars compared to Hendrick's eight.

Assuming Hamlin doesn't get replaced how soon until Furniture Row expands and signs Eric Jones?

I don't see Matt retiring until a couple of years after Ross makes it to Sprint Cup. NASCAR is going to want at least one father/son story with a happy ending.

The NASCAR playoff system emphasizes winning. Which is why despite not winning a race since the Brickyard two years ago Ryan Newman is in the playoffs again this year after almost winning the championship last year.

Matt, Kyle and Jimmie go into the playoffs tied with most wins at four apiece. Matt wins again and is locked into the next round. Kyle does okay and advances while Jimmie has a bad race and is eliminated while Ryan "Winless" Newman and Jeff "Is It Over Yet?" Gordon advance. Those four wins Jimmie had sure were important.

I kinda doubt anyone can outbid JGR for the 19. Does SHR have that kind of money? Wasn't that the biggest sticking point to signing Kurt? Does this accelerate Furniture Row's plans for a two car Gibbs-lite team?

Three less start and parkers. Oh the humanity.

Wow, no holds barred. Kenseth is gonna wreck Logano and Hamlin is gonna wreck Harvick leading to a Carl Edwards championship.

Who's KyBu gonna take out?

Didn't watch but I saw the finish. What was wrong with Harvick's car? Blown engine and riding around for points?

To no one's surprise NASCAR is still consistently inconsistent.

It's not surprising that the old guard of drivers don't like what the younger generation brings. NASCAR has pretty stale this year, and the change from the old unwritten rules is badly needed. This controversy is the only thing that has captured my interest.

Congratulations. You are exactly the audience Brian France is looking for. All of these stupid changes and decisions have been for you. Now go fill up all those empty seats in the stands by yourself.

So this means we can scrap the first third of the season since those races are meaningless, right? NASCAR can start on Memorial Day Weekend from now on.

Eat poo poo, Brian France.

We, NASCAR, think it's cool as hell that our champion has missed 11 loving races

Eat poo poo, the Chase.

If it means Kyle doesn't win I'm all for it

Eat poo poo, Jeff Gordon.

I would have zero problems with this if Kyle hadn't missed A THIRD OF THE RACES

Eat poo poo, Kevin Harvick.

Kyle absolutely deserves to be a champion. Just not this year.

Eat poo poo, Joey Logano.

With the revelation that the first dozen races are meaningless NASCAR is proud to announce that starting in 2016 those opening races on FOX are now NASCAR's pre-season.
