The top 35 owner points in the <a href="http://motorsports.fanhouse.com/">NASCAR</a> <a href="http://www.fanhouse.com/tag/Sprint+Cup/">Sprint Cup</a> Series were reset for the first time this year following the Bristol race, guaranteeing a starting spot to the top 35 teams this weekend at <a href="http://www.fanhouse.com/tag/Martinsville+Speedway/">Martinsville Speedway</a> and forcing the outsiders to race their way in on time.<br /><br />So, for those locked into the top 35, relief reigns at least for the next week. But my contention is the top 35 shouldn't even exist. Get rid of the whole system. I've thought that since the rule's inception but became even more incensed when things became completely convoluted entering the 2009 season.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://motorsports.fanhouse.com/2009/03/25/nascar-needs-to-abolish-mess/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://motorsports.fanhouse.com/forward/1498024/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&amp;fc=1&amp;url=http://motorsports.fanhouse.com/2009/03/25/nascar-needs-to-abolish-mess/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking&nbsp;Blogs</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://motorsports.fanhouse.com/2009/03/25/nascar-needs-to-abolish-mess/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description>
