Just because you have a good ride doesn't automatically equal that you're gonna win/be a top-5 driver week in and week out.
I didn't say it did, and he is not top 5 week in and week out anyway. He is actually kind of bad (as in doesn't win much, not actually bad like Cody Ware or something) at mile-and-a-half tracks, which are the majority of the schedule.
Without short tracks and road courses (which both use similar, sometimes the same setups which we already established he benefits from) his career doesn't look that great. If the championship is at like an Atlanta, Charlotte, or Miami I'm not sure he even has one.... he's not beating guys like Larson, KFB, Truex, etc there.

One of the dumber takes I’ve read in awhile.
It takes “more” driver skil to win on road courses and short tracks than cookie cutter ovals which are more aero dependent.
Your claim is because he does better on harder tracks he is not worthy?
Chase takes a beating here by the crowd solely based on his name. He had an injured year. Of course he was down in points. Heck, he came damn close to Bubba in having as many points prior to cutoff for chase - and he missed 7 fricking races! Read that again.
Agenda driven posts vs facts.
In the last 36 races (so last year):
Chase had the 7th best avg finish
1. 5.5 Ginsberg (2 race wonder)
2. 11.0 Byron
3. 11.9 Pastrana (1 race wonder)
4. 12.1 Buescher
5. 12.4 Hamlin
6. 12.8 Bell
7. 13.1 Elliott
So take out the 2 non regulars and Chase was 5th best avg finish. He finished better than Larson, Blaney and many others.
It was only his missed races that cost him playoffs. His injury is the only reason Bubba got in playoffs.
