Chase? NASCAR is reported to be mulling an addendum to the Sprint Cup Chase rules allowing for a "Legacy Provisional." This clause will allow a 13th driver to be added to the chase field of 12 currently in place. The" legacy driver" would have to be the offspring of a driver who is considered "historically important" to the sport.
This provisional would be similar to the champion's provisional which allows a past champion a guaranteed start in a certain number of races. The difference is that the legacy provisional allows for the descendant of a famous driver to be admitted to the chase. It is said this will help boost marketing, TV ratings, and ticket sales for the final 10 races.
