It is why in theory, one can lose the Daytona 500 but still end up the NASCAR champion at the end of the SEASON series of MULTIPLE races.
I defy you to QUOTE ME anywhere in this thread where I said, implied or demanded the rules for the NFL should apply to auto racing.
I never claimed they were the same sport.
I am saying as long as safety rules are not violated AS WITH ANY SPORT, it should not matter who is ahead or whom is behind, but all involved will do the best they can until the event is over. The drivers in the back of the pack preventing the leaders from passing, are no different in tactic or strategy than the leader trying to prevent the 2nd place driver from passing the leader.

Making sense doesn't matter. Obviously. 'Cause for Brian football and auto racing should follow the same rules.
***Big Bri - why do you think the NFL teams generally don't play their 'stars' in pre-season games? Do you know?
