  • The 2000 season was a huge ending of an era for NASCAR. Set right before the historic 2001-2007 TV deal the last remnants of old NASCAR production were in place. But what if they had the playoffs on their hands back then? What if NASCAR had the playoffs in 2000?

    Bobby Labonte has been my favorite driver since 97 when I started watching Nascar. My heart was really beating when you got to the last race. I was rooting for Bobby to win the playoffs . Like this was really happening. I'm so glad he still got the championship. 2000 was just his year and a great year to be a 18 car fan! Can't ever take that championship away from him. haha. Great video dude!

    I think this shows how truly strong the #18 was in 2000. Now, when I did the math by virtue of the Chase Grid rules, I had Jeff Gordon as the champion. The difference was ultimately stage racing and the Playoff Points of how they were awarded, and them carrying over from round to round.

    5:35 Rusty Wallaces car that day was a rocketship, he was lapped at one point I think from unscheduled stop and started inside the leaders after a caution and drove away from them and worked his way back into the top 10 under green when that wreck he was involved in happened. He made up more than half a lap under green conditions

    The reason this is such a stupid premise is that IF the playoffs existed at the time, teams would have strategized differently. They would have made different choices and taken different risks in the late races. They would have spent more testing money on Homestead and the final races. Etc. You can't take a set of rules that teams built strategy around, switch the set of rules, and then assume the races would have turned out exactly the same. This is such a dumb concept.
