Oh the MATH, My Head is Spinning
As if NASCAR’s Chase isn’t confusing enough. The Charlotte Observer’s David Poole is crunching numbers. And perusing the NASCAR rulebook, always a head spinning endeavor, and asks: “Matt Kenseth is fifth in the Nextel Cup standings going into Sunday’s MBNA 400 at Dover International Speedway.” “But should he be?”
He cites page 34 of Rule 17-4-C and Rule 17-3-B. If you want more, don’t ask. Read it yourself I’m attempting to slow a revolving cranium at the moment.
BTW there is also a citation of Rule 17-3, Rule 17-4 and Rule 17-4-C. And this quote from Jim Hunter: “I know we will clean up the language (in the rule book) at the end of this Chase,” Hunter said. “We will learn from any confusion there might be.”
NASCAR learns! Isn’t that an oxymoron?
In case your wondering, Greg Biffle will win today’s MBNA 400. Ryan Newman? Sorry guy your #5 piston takes a sightseeing trip as it exits the block.
MBNA 400, NASCAR, Auto Racing, Sports
Wow, I have a little headache but I think I get it. This is very interesting, I may have to try to break this down myself. NASCAR better hope Kenseth doesn’t win the championship by 5 points or less.
