NexTel Cup Playoffs

[Shadow32]

Kyle Petty Has Own "Playoff" Idea That Deals With Eliminations: Kyle Petty has come up with his own idea for the Nextel Cup "playoffs," one he said formed while he was riding his motorcycle to Bristol from his home in High Point, N.C. "I don't care if 10 or 15 cars are in it, but I think they should eliminate one every week and get down to the last three or four and have those guys have a shot for the championship with four or five races left," Petty said jokingly. "The last four races should be a short track, a road course, and intermediate and a superspeedway." Petty said the elimination aspect would make his idea work. "The whole point is to make people watch, and why do they watch 'Big Brother' or 'Survivor' or 'Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?' They watch to see who gets eliminated. Not who survives."

lol. Kyle Petty said "The whole point is to make people watch, and why do they watch 'Big Brother' or 'Survivor' or 'Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?' They watch to see who gets eliminated. Not who survives."

And I believe he is right! Sad but true. But his idea needs to be changed......(heheheh).........instead of eliminating 1 driver per week, eliminate 1 horsepower/speed restriction per week ( restrictor plates, chassis settings etc.), until there are no restrictions left, the racing will be much faster, with many more wrecks, which many people love to see, resulting in even more eliminations! If the whole point is to make people watch, I TEXT that will make em! lmao
(jus kiddin of course)
