Information AboutPoints-paying |
|
an Auto Race that will give the competitors or the owners of the car points towards the championship of that particular series. Each Racing Series has their own points system. In turn, each series have their own rules and regulations in terms of what pays points and what doesn't. First of all, what gets you points varies among series. In NASCAR, for example, the only thing that can get a driver or owner points is simply where the car finishes in the race. The winner of the race gets 180 points. The car that finishes in last (43rd) place gets 34 points. Also, 5 bonus points are awarded for leading a lap and 5 more bonus points for leading the most laps in the race. In some series, however, especially local series, points are also awarded for getting a pole position and for starting in the top 5. In other series, such as NHRA , which governs drag racing, points are awarded for just making the field as an incentive to have drivers come out week after week to race. Finally, some series only award points for a certain number of positions. In Formula One , for example, only the top 8 finishers get points. EXTERNAL LINKS
