Championship Venue to be rotated? selected upon?

NOVAR officials have thought of a poetical change that will sent shockwaves across NOVAR Community. If it is confirmed, beginning with the 2015 season, the finale will be ether rotated every year or will be selected by a committee. This has sparked alot of controversy on the topic that fans and drivers have enraged.

"We had this mess since like 2004" - Chadler Blake.
"I can understand if this was a stick and ball sport like football, basketball, or baseball, I can understand. But this is motor racing, where we don't need one." - Todd Pieper.
"Championship games that have only and only 2 teams should have rotating venues, Not a 42 car championship race." - Cody Wyke.

Dakota Fairgrounds was the season finale from NOVAR's inception until 1973. Darlington had been the finale from 1974 until 2001. Atlanta had hosted the finale for only 3 years. Rockingham hosted the finale from 2005-2007. Decatur hosted for 2 additional years. While the New Jersey Speedrome and the New York Autoring hosted in 2010 and 2011 respectively. Columbia Speedway, has hosted the championship race since 2012 and will host its second ever 400 mile championship race later in the year.

There could be two ways of this happening. If it goes by rotating basis, Columbia, Camden, Cayce, Dentsville, and Darlington would rotate and each track would be the finale every five years. Another possibly is very simular to the NAFL's World Championship, have a venue selected presumably before the season starts. Example: Daytona would host the finale in 2015, then in the following year Edmonton would host the 2016 championship. Then Bristol would host the 2017 championship. Based on this format, if the track already is planned to be on the calender (i.e Edmonton), then it could have a second date. The only issue with that is that NOVAR has not allowed a second race a the track even it is a different configuration.

Controversy can also ensue, like if Shane Nargon, Shane Hardon, and Chadler Blake end up competing for the championship, and the average finish for each at the cookie cutters (1.5 miles) is like 17.1, 18.4, and 8.1, and the finale is at the Texas Motor Speedway, It would give Shane Nargon, and Shane Hardon a complete disadvantage, but then again, as of now, there have only been 2 instances where points lead was changed in the final race of the season.
