NASCAR may give bonus to "regular-season" leader

[Vez]

I found this on NASCAR.com and it's also on Jayski (you'll have to scroll down almost to the bottom of the page)

Sounds an interesting idea, and I think it would be a good thing to do.

Your opinions please.

Here's what I would do

1. Give 200 Points for a race win instead of 185. Winning should be rewared but inconsistency should not.

2. Set the chase to the format it was last year, but with 15 cars instead of 12

3. Cut the guaranteed to the top 25 instead of top 35. (Not chase specific)
