Could be. Do you know if Kyle and Hamlin get along vety well?

Not a rhetorical question. Kyle B is Kyle B and as outsider I wonder if people are lining up to work with or avoid him (or maybe they are neutral

Wimmins beach volleyball is the dope.
 
What the hell? Why did Chases Spotter tell him to hold the brake at the beginning of the spin. These Spotters are over stepping bigtime

Equal points per race[edit]​

1975–2010[edit]​

  • In the 1975 season, a new scoring system was introduced, created by Bob Latford. Equal points are awarded in all races, regardless of their length or purse.
  • Between rank 1 and 6, starting with 175 to the winner, there were 5 points gaps, between rank 6 and 11 were 4 points gaps and below rank 11 were 3 points gaps respectively.
  • In the point scoring system there were points down to 54th place. These were not all awarded to drivers (drivers points were only awarded to drivers who qualified for a race, so depending on the race and year anywhere from 30-something up to 43 drivers might score points). Points were also awarded to owners, and these were awarded in order of qualifying time to cars which did not qualify for a race (e.g. if 43 cars qualify, and 3 DNQ, those 3 cars would get 40, 37, and 34 points). Owner points were used to determine provisional starting positions, which is the starting order when qualifying is rained out, etc.
  • Along with the points based on the finishing position, a driver who leads at least one lap in a race would be credited 5 bonus points. Along with the 5 bonus points, only one driver in a race would receive an additional 5 bonus points for leading the most laps, so the driver who led the most would receive 10 bonus points altogether.
  • In 2004 NASCAR introduced a new playoff format, but still using the old points scoring scheme.
  • In 2004, 1st place was increased 5 points to 180, and another 5 points in 2007, to 185. So the gap between 1st and 2nd was extended to 10 and then to 15 points respectively.

15 playoff points?

Regular season champion should get a first round “bye” imo.

15 is pretty healthy tbf.

Truex was genuinely horrendous in the first six races of the playoffs last year and still made the round of 8 in part because of the regular season title. I wouldn’t be against adding a few more points though.
 
The #4 back into the top 10. Not bad for being on pit road with the hood up a while ago

I’m scratching my head at what the 12 were trying to do. Hope for no cautions and that everyone who came down last time would have to stop for a splash towards the end? That got dashed in a hurry.
