Number 6 Dont think so ? Well as you might know by now Rick Hendricks shook up the garage ,changing crew chiefs and other personal ,even the setups of which teams share what garage areas Except Team #48!
You just dont fix something thats not broke and Team 48 is far from broke.
With the hottest driver in the last ten years and maybe more ,the driver thats heading to break old records for championships and will most likely take a seventh and eight in his career becoming the all time champion .
You cant beat Jimmie Johnson the only way he'll be stopped is when he beats himself and even thou that can happen and one day will ,dont look for it anytime soon especially with Chad Knaus as crew chief ,one of the bests that have sit on top of a pit box

Why no Cameros in NATIONWIDE SERIES:
"As we launched Camaro, we brought back an iconic production car to our portfolio. Part of what makes Camaro is the styling and the look of that vehicle. When we introduced it at the (various) auto shows, consumers originally were able to look at the brand and say that it replicates what they know Camaro to be. As we look at NASCAR, we wanted to maintain the integrity of the iconic brand and the brands that we race with. We just didn't feel we could accomplish that vision by adapting the car to the common template format that we have here in this sport. We'll always look in the future and see what opportunities exist, but within today's boundaries, it just didn't feel like it was the right business decision for us to make.

If the old point were in use after Homestead the results wouldve been quite different:
Standings if the Chase wasn't around and the old posints system that was used from 1975 thru 2003 was still used
