NASCAR Cup Series

After little or no consideration, I have come to the conclusion that expanding the Chase to 20 cars would be ridiculously preposterous.

Last Tuesday's announcement from Hendrick Motorsports, (HMS), regarding crew chief changes and team locations caught us all off guard.

After much consideration, I've come to the conclusion that in order to maintain the integrity of the sport and to try and keep the fly-by-night fans watching, the Sprint Cup Chase should be expanded to include 20 drivers.

Hendrick Motorsports made major changes to its organization today, switching things around for every team except Jimmie Johnson.

After three years in a downward spiral at Hendrick Motorsports, one might think Dale Earnhardt Jr. might want to flee the organization, but Rick Hendrick is apparently ready to do what he promised with major changes within the organization.

If there was ever any doubt about the changes announced at Hendrick Motorsports yesterday afternoon, Rick Hendrick put them to bed today.

Rick Hendrick announced yesterday that he would be switching the crew chiefs up at Hendrick Motorsports to benefit all four teams.

It seemed inevitable when 2 out of 4 teams struggled desperately and a third struggled to hold it's own, the Rick Hendrick would not be a happy man.

Congratulations to Johnson, Knaus, and everyone at Hendrick Motorsports for their five consecutive Chase titles, but in my opinion they are not 5x champions.

Johnson finished second at Homestead, easily overcoming Denny Hamlin’s 15-point lead entering the race, to capture his fifth-straight Sprint Cup title.
