I always thought that was fishy, I don't believe that winners are pre determined, but NASCAR has to be telling non playoff drivers to take it easy around the final 4 on the last race. No way is going to ALWAYS be a playoff driver that wins the final race.For once, would be cool for the Champion to not win the race... only needs to be the highest finisher.
Maybe a non Final 4 wins? If they have a bad day...
