Best Answer

The new Nascar point system took effect in 2011. The system now awards a driver anywhere from 1 to 43 points, depending on where they finish. The first place driver will earn 43 and last place will earn 1. There are 3 bonus points given to the winner, if a driver leads a lap they'll get 1 pt. and if they lead the most laps, they'll get an additional point. The most points a driver can now earn in a race is 48.

Is Jimmie Johnson going to win the championship again?

The 2011 Championship has a different point system than all of the previous years. NASCAR changed this point system to try to make it harder to win. NASCAR thinks this new point system evens out the chances for every driver. Jimmie Johnson has a very good chance of winning the championship even with this new point system. Although every one knows that luck, good or bad can decide who wins. The winner has to have good luck with them, not make mistakes and take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself.
