NASCAR introduced the “Playoffs” format, also known as the Chase, for the first time in 2004 as a way to spice up the midseason for the Cup Series. Effectively, NASCAR officials had realized that there were simply so many races taking place in a year that it could be hard to keep fans interested — especially if there was one driver running away with the title. In 2016, NASCAR introduced the Playoffs format to its lower divisions, the Trucks and Xfinity Series.
