Well then just revert back to the leader at the end on 24 events is the champ!!!! What a concept HUH? The new points system could make the fuel classes more exciting, though I doubt it. In PS there are about 6 or 8 cars that can win any event, the rest for the most part are cannon fodder. If there is no money for making the "chase" why would some of the lesser funded teams make long tows just to make two qualifying runs to make the "chase"? I don't see the incentive.
