NASCAR had to waive the rule that deems it mandatory that a driver attempt to qualify for every race to be eligible to win the championship in order for busch to get in the 10 race "playoff". He met the criteria that NASCAR laid out but they had to provide Busch special dispensation. 1/3 of the season seems like a bit over the top but it's their playground. It's all the same to me if he only ran 1 race to become champion. They (NASCAR) pretty much make it up as they go along, anyway.
Crap like that further cheapens the Cup championship, if that's possible.
Used to go to 4 or 5 NASCAR Cup races every year. Haven't set foot in the stands at a NASCAR race in over 15 years and have no interest in doing so. We live less than an hour from a track that hosts a "chase" race and could have free tickets every year. Thanks but no thanks. I wouldn't trade attending the whole NASCAR Cup season even up for Springfield, Du Quoin and the Belleville Nationals.
From what I saw on the highlights Larson had a real shot at a win. I'd just as soon see him win Turkey Night again or the Chili Bowl as much as I would a Cup race.
