Finally its here!


DO you hate the points system?


do you wish you could create a new system that everyone would say
"now that what we've needed to make this sport fair?


Now's your chance!!!


Thanks to a listener of

That was fun although what I changed put Jr in 10th. Noooooooo I will have to try again.

This time I gave 200 point for a win, added 5 points for a pole......and gave the 10 Chasers 50, 40, 30, 25 on down to 8 points...for the best finishes. This is how they came out.

Position Car # Driver Points Behind Wins Behind 11th
1 9 Kasey Kahne 5174 - 6
2 29 Kevin Harvick 5154 -20 4
3 17 Matt Kenseth 5149 -25 4
4 31 Jeff Burton 5146 -28 1
5 48 Jimmie Johnson 5127 -47 4
6 20 Tony Stewart 5125 -49 3
7 5 Kyle Busch 5116 -58 1
8 24 Jeff Gordon 5111 -63 2
9 11 Denny Hamlin* 5103 -71 2
10 8 Dale Earnhardt Jr 5100 -74 1
11 6 Mark Martin 3977 -1197 0
12 99 Carl Edwards 3735 -1439 0 -242
13 16 Greg Biffle 3579 -1595 1 -398
14 2 Kurt Busch 3414 -1760 1 -563
15 25 Brian Vickers 3391 -1783 1 -586

I think I figured out how HenCAR will jigger the points for next year:

- Give 200 points for a win
- Give 100 points for a pole
- Chasers get 1-10 points in the Chase (200/170/165/160/155/150/146/142/138/134)

That would put FastKasey in the lead, bury Robot in 5th, and put Smoke in at the cost of Mark Martin.

Of course, that would only be implented if Robot or MM were to win the Cup.

I keep trying to give Flash a bonus for finishing in the 24th spot last week. Sort of a "match your number" and get a bonus. Still can't get him above 2nd!

Thanks for that points system link. I have been meaning to write my own program to do just that (I may still do so to go back and recalculate past years too).

My point system:
1st thru 10th - 80,60,50,45,40,35,30,25,20,15 pts
11th thru 15th - 10 pts
16th thru 20th - 5 pts
Bonus points:
5 for leading lap
5 for most laps lead
10 for pole
5 for second pole

Max points per race is 100.
Only top twenty get any points (no more coming back on the track 30 laps down to try and pick up 3 or so points).
Premium on winning and high finish over consistency (look what happens to Stewart and Martin)
And most important: NO CHASE!
