Getting close to the start of the Racing season.
The Chase will be changed this year and I like it.
The field for the Chase is expanded to 16. (16th spot reserved for the points leader if he doesn't win a race)
For the 10 races it will be like this:
-After first 3 races the last four of the 16 drivers will be eliminated
-After race 6 another four of the 12 remaining drivers will be eliminated
-After race 9 another four of the 8 remaining drivers will be eliminated
-The driver who finishes first of the 4 remaining drivers will be the Champion.

yup. here is the list of criteria courtesy of jayski.com
Eligibility for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup: The top 15 drivers with the most wins over the first 26 races will earn a spot in the NASCAR Chase Grid - provided they have finished in the top 30 in points and attempted to qualify for every race (except in rare instances). The 16th Chase position will go to the points leader after race No. 26, if he/she does not have a victory. In the event that there are 16 or more different winners over 26 races, the only winless driver who can earn a Chase Grid spot would be the points leader after 26 races.
If there are fewer than 16 different winners in the first 26 races, the remaining Chase Grid positions will go to those winless drivers highest in points. If there are 16 or more winners in the first 26 races, the ties will first be broken by number of wins, followed by NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver points.
