Exactly.

I keep hearing how the winner is not predetermined after that choice is made, provided the guy doesn't make a major screw up. But no one can explain how you can have a spread of 2-3 tenths between 16 cars and not know which guy should win it. They can't explain how, at the end of the show, if their chosen one does not win, the crew is walking around wondering how their guy lost, right there on TV, either.

I'll grant you, it makes decent TV, if that sort of thing amuses you. But it doesn't make good racing, if that's what you're looking for.
