1. Tony and team take a week off. Why not? 11^th isn’t going to be a great place to be.
2. Test at all remaining tracks. Green flag pits to change and test setups. Finish 40 laps down on purpose.
3. Alternate drivers in the 20. Bring in some fresh talent to try the Cup scene. Everybody’s doing it, or is it just Rousch.

Any one of these would piss off NASCAR, but it’s the bed they’ve made with the chase, and they’d have to lye in it.

One of the reasons NASCAR made the 400 point rule is that they think anyone outside of 400 points can't win a championship anyway. According to Jayski's stats, he'd be 6th in the points after NHIS by the old system. That’s still 451 points out, and in a three way tie with Kyle and Burton. He’s ahead of both because of wins. There are 9 more races to go. How hi can he get? I'll keep an eye on this # for the rest of the season. Just one more way Tony can get under their skin.
