It was pretty damn nail biting and exciting if you asked me.

To bring in short attention span outsiders... you know, the same fans that only watch the Superbowl or the World Series... No clue who's playing, just that it's the 'Thing' to do... so they can talk about the commercals at work the next day, and still don't know that the best team all year didn't make it because of one game in 'the play-offs'.

Yeah, That's how you decide the season Champion

Brett, I should have stated that everybody around us made that comment immediately after the semifinals had run. Yeah, when Fast Jack ran that .66 in the final, I knew AJ probably was probably going to get the record.

The point was, in response to the other poster, is that he's not so far ahead that it's a "Joke." When DK laid down that 4.45 DSR was loaded for Bear and gunning for the NR but ran "slower" than DK.

It's broke now, and I'd guess that the ego's won't undo the mistake.

Tony Stewart doesn't make the cut and then goes out and wins race after race, to no avail. Changing the points method was dumb for Nascar and it's dumb for the NHRA. The last "man" standing at the end of the season should be the winner. JMO
Recap; 3 titles were hotly contested on the last day of racing, one going down to the last run, and required a NR for the win. The other title was won just one week earlier. Just what was so bad with that system?
