It's true though. The time where consistency means very little, is the time Jr does it. Huh...
That's hit me the past two races. "Awesome, two second place finishes in a row. Fuck, it's essentially meaningless."
That said, if he rattles off 20 top 5 finishes before the chase ends, I won't be all that disappointed. You can only put yourself in position to win so many times before the cards fall right and you get the results.
It will be the ultimate "well, fuck" if come the end of the season somebody does another one of those, "assuming 'x' points system was in place and everybody ran the exact same way" calculations, that he ends up the run away points leader.
Perhaps the best thing that could happen is Earnhardt losing the championship somewhere deep in the Chase after putting together an amazingly dominant and consistent season. Then that noisy, brain dead segment of Jr fans won't be able to ignore the gargantuan flaws inherent in the system.
