Only problem with that theory is NASCAR peaked before the Chase. The Chase is the foundation of the problems with the die hards of the series. Stupid championship? Maybe that can be overlooked, as long as your on track product is still good. It's not. Couple a farcical championship with the ludicrous race rules that only apply to this series... It's all a hot mess, but any attempt to completely dismiss the Chase as an issue is a complete oversight.
