NASCAR changes playoff eligibility rules

[donthaveanickname]

Trying to make it a little easier for Cody...

"Rules for playoff eligibility have been updated in all three NASCAR national series. The requirement that drivers must be among the top 30 (in the Cup Series) or top 20 (in Xfinity and Craftsman Trucks) to retain postseason eligibility has been removed. Drivers will still need to participate in every event to keep playoff eligibility, unless a waiver has been granted and approved by NASCAR."

Top 30 threshold chaged to just starting all the races is pretty much the same difference,

I was hoping they'd tighten it up to top 25 or even top 20.

Could definitely see Corey Lajoie benefiting from this, although I would’ve preferred it to become harder to reach myself.

I would have rather seen this. I'm a Corey Lajoie fan, but no way was he a playoff caliber driver had he pulled off Atlanta

Yeah when I opened this. Was hoping they made it so a fluke win might not even get you in there.

I reeeeeally hope Corey can pull off a SS win this year.

Yeah I want to call this the Corey Rule. I'm surprised they just don't say all charter teams are eligible, but that's essentially the intent anyway.
