We all only watch now when there is nothing else going on and then its more like backgroind noise with no one looking at the tv. The other thing that sucks is that with the points system its possible to win the cup and never win a race. Screw the points and give the winner of each race a big check.

Sound like you haven't watched in a while. They stopped that point system when Kenseth won the championship without winning a race. Now they have the Chase for the Cup. They are slowly getting back to the old days racing. I'm sure you'll like what you see today.
