[Jeff '79]

Who won last year?
That person should be in charge imo.

Ohhh. That would be Jeff.
How 'bout it man. D'ju want to do it?

NASCAR Rule Changes:
NASCAR is breaking each race up into 3 stages.
The winner of each stage will get points which carry over to the chase.

Very interesting.....
No more laying back for 3/4 of the race anymore. These points will matter.
Also there will be no more points for leading a lap or leading the most laps.

Here is a rundown :

— NASCAR will tell teams before the season how each race will be divided. The number of segments will be based on race and track length.

— Bonus points will be awarded for those drivers running in the top 10 at the end of each segment.

— During the segment breaks, TV broadcasts will attempt to miss as little on-track action as possible.

— Normal points will be awarded to the finishing order of the race (40 points to first, 39 to second, 38 to third, etc.).

— A driver’s points total for the race will include race-finish points plus any top-10 running bonus points collected in the segments.

— Drivers will have the chance to earn bonus points during the Chase.
