NASCAR Increases Points for Winning by +5

If you win 185

Lead the most laps +5

Lead a Lap +5

195 Points

Eliminated the $1,000,000.00 for 11th Place. smirk.gif

400-point cutoff eliminated

Increased the Field for the Chase to 12. crazy.gif

+

All Chase Drivers start the Chase with 5000 points.

the tie Breaker is # of Wins (10 Points Per Win), laugh.gif

if Drivers are still tied, the one with the most 2nd Place Finishes is the next tie breaker.

etc....

Possible the bottom 3-5 guys could all have 5000

if none of them have won a race.

instead of the current 5 point increments

10th place 5000

9th place 5005

8th place 5010

etc...

Re: NASCAR Increases Points for Winning by +5

In my opinion the jury is still out on this one. I've never really been a fan of the chase format. WIth these new rules I think it will only serve to give us a 10 race champ not a season champ. I agree that there needed to be some more credit given for winning but I'm not sure I like the sound of the rest of it. The Cup should be awarded on an ENTIRE seasons worth of consistency not just 10 races.

Re: NASCAR Increases Points for Winning by +5

You have to admit though... the Chase does make it a little more exciting for the last 10 races. I wasn't crazy about the idea before but I kinda like it now. The teams still have to be consistent for 26 races just to get in the Chase and then for 10 more to win. You just probably won't see someone stink it up like Kenseth did a few years back and have it wrapped up well before the last race of the season.

I'm not a fan of the chase either,but it is what it is.I definately agree that more points should be awarded for wins.

They probably though they should expand the # of chase contenders after how Stewart ended up finishing the last ten races last year.It also gives your favorite driver a little more chance to make the chase.

I thought I heard somewhere that NHRA is doing something similiar this year,anybody know?

Re: NASCAR Increases Points for Winning by +5

I agreed that they should increase the points but I meant by 20 not 5. I also think they should have a separate points system for all of the chase drivers. I think you should get a 5 point difference between positions for just the 12 drivers no matter where they finish and a 20 point bonus if you are the winner of the race. That will increase the push to win and not lay back. I also think they should cut back the number of drivers after the first 26 races to maybe 35 or even 25. Keep the guys just riding around the track from interfering with the real action.
