As the NASCAR <\/a>offseason continues, Kenny Wallace wants fans to stop getting so worked up about the future points format of the sport. The change to the championship format is coming. We know that much. Wallace thinks fans are spending too much time and energy on the situation. <\/p>\n

On social media, NASCAR fans are always up in arms over the Playoffs and the future points system. A large contingency believes a full-season points system is needed to bring legitimacy back to the sport. Others believe a change to the playoff format could be the solution. <\/p>\n

Kaulig Racing CEO Chris Rice was on the Kenny Wallace Show this week. He said that people will like the new points format. It won\u2019t be announced until January, but Rice insisted it will be an improvement. <\/p>\n

\u201cY\u2019all are jacked up on Sun Drop right now over points. It reminds me of Allen Iverson, \u2018Practice? We talking practice?\u2019 I\u2019d say the same,\u201d Wallace said on Coffee with Kenny<\/a>. \u201cPoints, we talking points. I never in my life, dreamed that you guys cannot watch a race without thinking about points. \u2026 It\u2019s like, what the f**k, Chuck? \u2026 Here\u2019s what I would say to you, Chris Rice, was having a nice conversation with me and he just said, I know what the new points system is, and you will like it. <\/p>\n

\u201cNow, listen, we don\u2019t know what the new points system is going to be. However, I can say this, as reported by Bob Pockrass, he says it looks like it\u2019s going to come out in January. Now, that makes sense because there\u2019s been a lot of drama in NASCAR. With the lawsuit, went on for two weeks, and now here\u2019s Christmas, and it\u2019s just not the time to announce it. They gotta hold a press conference. I mean, they can announce it verbatim and type it out, but they need to have who\u2019s in charge announce it. During a press conference, not a press release, a press conference.\u201d <\/p>\n

Kenny Wallace thinks NASCAR fans are being mean<\/p>\n

When Kenny Wallace had Chris Rice on to talk about the NASCAR points format, he didn\u2019t think that it would cause such an uproar. Still, you can\u2019t control when stories and clips go viral. In the offseason, online fans are looking for anything to latch onto. <\/p>\n

\u201cNow, some of you are being really mean,\u201d Wallace said. \u201cLike Mark Martin said, you know what Mark Martin said, Mark Martin said, you all have got to be able to communicate and quit being so damn vicious. Why can\u2019t we just talk about it? Why do you gotta hate so bad? Like Allen Iverson said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re talking about points, we\u2019re just talking about points. We\u2019re not talking about the cars on the race track racing. So simmer down, everybody. It\u2019s Christmas, Merry Christmas. Let\u2019s wait a little bit, and then you can go back to Motherf***ing everybody. But I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll do that right up to Christmas Eve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kenny Wallace wants everybody to calm down. Do fans need to just let the NASCAR points format discussion die at this point? We know we\u2019re getting a new format, and it likely isn\u2019t a full-season points championship. So, is there a point in advocating for it anymore? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the NASCAR offseason continues, Kenny Wallace wants fans to stop getting so worked up about the future…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":365192,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,82],"class_list":["post-365191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nascar","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nascar","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=365191"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365191\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
