NASCAR What If: The 2010 Chase Under 2014 Rules
Final Race – Homestead-Miami
Below are how the final-four drivers in the chase ran at Homestead-Miami and how the championship panned out.
- Carl Edwards – 1st place
- Jimmie Johnson – 2nd place
- Kevin Harvick – 3rd place
- Denny Hamlin -14th place
In this season under the 2014 rules Carl Edwards won have won the championship which would have been the first of his career. Johnson would once again run second in the points. The end of this race would have been fun to watch as Edwards, Johnson and Harvick held the top-3 spots.
If NASCAR had dreamed up this current chase system some 10 years ago it would have had an immediate impact on history as every champion from 2004-2010 would have been different. Be sure to check out the past years by clicking on the links in the first slide.
