I can say I don't like it, whatever the details turn out to
be. I don't like the concept, period. I like a season long
championship, with all races counting equally.

Sort of like the 2003 season with rule changes from week to week, huh?

If they are determined to do something like this, then do it
for the entire season, using say four 9 race segments. That way they
could have four 1/4 year championships and the yearly championship.
Then if they want to increase the pay outs for each quarter so the
last quarter pays the most, that's fine, and if they want to score
each quarter separately from the others adding special bonus points,
etc, that is fine too. So lets say as an example, they gave the
winners of every race a ten point bonus over what they pay now. And
if they want to give bonus points to some of the cars or drivers in
quarters for separate scoring that is fine too. So we could end up
with four 1/4 champions and the over all champ! Or they could take
the say top five from the first quarter and add them to the top five
for the second quarter for a separate championship in the third
quarter, and then they could take the top five from the first, second
and third quarter and run the last 1/4 as a separate championship for
them while running the yearly championship at the same time.

Now doing all this, would take nothing aware from the
traditional championship but would just add other championships as
well and add much excitement.

Finally a question, is this thing they are talking about apply
to driver points, or owner points or both? The above could apply to
both.
Come on NASCAR, if you're going to do something, at least do
it right!

Brian sez he never really meant it. What he has done right is move the
sport in the forefront even during the off season with the
outrageousness.
He should have his kneecaps broken into 87 PIECES!!!!
