No, I'm not talking about Tony Stewart winning two races in a row but the fact that there's been two fuel mileage races in a row in the Chase. Does this sound wrong to anyone else but me?
I don't understand why NASCAR would want to put two fuel mileage races in the Chase let alone in the very beginning. They know which races are more than likely going to end up in fuel mileage, you can go back and look at past races to see that. Why not swap Chicago and New Hampshire for Bristol and Richmond? Make Bristol the first race in the Chase and Richmond the last (suggested by one of my awesome twitter followers, Tracey). NASCAR wants hype for the Chase and two fuel mileage races aren't the way to get it. No one wants to watch a race where the drivers can't even hardly pass anyone and the only excitement are the last 3 laps because you see who has enough fuel and who doesn't. NASCAR really needs to rethink the tracks in the Chase and the least they could do is change up which tracks are in the Chase every year.
Completely unrelated to the fact that it was another fuel mileage race but I just want to say that I really respect Jimmie Johnson as a driver. He didn't once during his interview place all the blame on Kyle for what happened and he just said it was hard racing in the final laps, which is exactly what it was. I know if it had been some other drivers they would have jumped at the chance to place blame on Kyle. Happy that Jimmie didn't do that, I respect and like Jimmie for how he is.
