The chase format is NOT meant to punish a rider or riders. The purpose of the chase format is to close the points gap to create more excitement for fans, gain more fans, possibly intrigue future outside sponsors for Supercross, riders, teams.
Supercross is a sport, but it's also an ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS.
More excitement means gaining more fans......more fans will buy bikes, gear, parts, ticket sales will raise, etc.
Change is good for the sport, if it doesn't work out for one SX season, then go back to the original standard points system.
.... or maybe to help Dale Jr. win one before he retires.
Let it go.
A prime example would be to look into the statement feld released recently concerning the closing of the Ringling brothers circus. In it they specifically cited the loss of elephants as one of the reasons attendance had dropped off.
To prevent the same demise we need to add more elephants to supercross.
Elephants can take over start card responsibilities. Monster should be thrilled. Think of the signage compared to those tiny outfits the monster girls wear.
Trained elephants can take over safety worker jobs. No longer will riders be able to whine they didn't see the flag. Disregard the flag at your own peril. The next time they come around there will be a trunk waiting for them. Bike down in the track? Jumbo will take care of it.
You're welcome feld and all the supercross fans craving a better show.

They did not get rid of the chase. The chase was the 10 race playoff at the end of the season. They are now just calling it the playoffs. They tweaked the way points are paid during races, and did not get rid of it.
The structure also ensures that competition will be dialed up throughout the duration of the 26-race regular season, as points for both stage winners and race winners will transfer into the postseason -- and an official regular-season champion will be crownded, and rewarded with 15 playoff points to the driver's playoff reset of 2,000. The stage format also gives fans a pair of natural breaks in the action.
All playoff points will carry through to the end of the third round of the postseason (Round of 8), with the Championship 4 racing straight-up at Homestead-Miami Speedway for the title.
Championship points following the first two stages of each race will be awarded on a descending scale, with the stage winner receiving 10 points, second earning nine points, and so on. The race winner following the final stage will receive 40 points, second-place will earn 35, third-place 34, fourth-place 33, and so on.
In addition, the top-10 drivers in regular-season points also will receive playoff points with second place earning 10 points, third place getting eight points, fourth place obtaining seven points, and so on.

You nailed it exactly.
It's got nothing to do with punishing anyone. They aren't going to change it mid season. So for now Dungey can cruise on in to another title. Which he will deserve as not crashing is part of earning more points.
Every other popular major sport has a "play-off" type of structure. This is meant to keep the series interesting as long as they can. And that is the ultimate goal with a chase system.
They were going to implement it this year in SX. So at least they are thinking about it....
Think about that.
