La giornata di ieri è stata storica per la NASCAR. E’ arrivato infatti l’attesissimo annuncio da parte di Brian France riguardante il nuovo aspetto che la Chase assumerà a partire da quest’anno. Se la fan base dell’associazione di Daytona Beach si è dichiarata perlopiù contraria a questa scelta di modificare il metodo di attribuzione della Sprint Cup, andiamo a scoprire cosa hanno detto o meglio twittato i piloti e gli addetti ai lavori sul nuovo format della Chase:
Don't you just love it?!? Win you're in. @NASCAR #Playoffs The final 4 in @HomesteadMiami ! Fans wanted more reward for winning. We got it!

All the changes NASCAR is making is really exciting. I think it's going to make all the teams/drivers step up even more. Will be fun to see!

Emphasis on winning in 2014. No problem. SHR's driver lineup has 95 point-paying Sprint Cup wins among them. #NASCAR

Funzionerà, non funzionerà? Sarà un successo o un flop? Non ci resta che aspettare.
