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.
