Kyle Busch won the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship, so it makes sense that he's gone on record to say he likes the new Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup elimination-style format.
That didn't stop the Joe Gibbs Racing driver from offering a tweak to the existing format, though.
"I think there's one thing that could be added," Busch said during Champion's Week in Las Vegas. "I think we have to take care of the regular-season (points) leader. Whoever is the points leader after (the regular-season finale), I think it would be pretty neat if they got a first-round bye, for instance.
"I think being able to accomplish that feat of leading the points is somewhat similar to the old championship format. I think you should reward that guy and not have to make them sweat for the first round."
Kevin Harvick was the 2015 regular season points leader and would have received the "bye" under Busch's proposed system, which would have come in handy after a 42nd-place finish in the Chase opener at Chicagoland Speedway. Harvick was the No. 5 seed entering the Chase because other drivers had more wins.
