Now that Team Penske has seemingly solved the playoff formula that was made to generate chaos, NASCAR's confounding postseason might finally change.

On Sunday, November 10th, 2024 Joey Logano set a record set a record: he became the NASCAR Cup Series champion with the worst average finish ever, a low water mark of 17.1 over the 36-race season. It was the culmination of three straight seasons of Penske and Ford dominance at Phoenix, an intentional strategy to focus on winning championships over putting up championship-level numbers. After Logano's latest win, reports suggest that NASCAR may have finally seen enough of its current format.

Each of the first three rounds of three races advance every eligible race winner and eliminate the four remaining drivers that are lowest in points, leaving just four at the end to go into a final race with no points on the line. The top four spots in the championship are decided by the results of that race — meaning that a driver who wins the previous 35 races but finishes fourth among contenders in that event would be only credited with fourth in the championship.
