Nascar chase format

I hate kyle because everyone compares him to a legend. Kyle is a legend in his own mind. Dale Earnhardt Sr. Is a true racer. He worked for his goals, Kyle's dad simply decided one day to put in in a racecar and fund his way to nascar.

I wouldn't be bothered by the chase format if they completely separated the 12 chasers in points. No matter what if you finish as the highest chaser in the standings whether it be 1stplace or 15th you get this many points and the 2nd place gets the same points whether their behind the 1st place by 1 car or 10. Give bonuses for this or that finish in the top 5 get 20 extra points, 6-10 get 15, 11-20th get10 21st -30th get 5 after that no bonus points. imo that would make the chase exciting because then points standings could change every week and instead of getting to halfway and finding out who will win the championship. That way it's less about consistency and more about being ahead of the other chasers
