If you are a past Nascar champion you can get into the race... even if you are the 44th fastest car. They would just tell the 43 fastest to go home.
The top 10 drivers with the most points after the first 26 races automatically make Nascar's 'Chase for the Sprint Cup'. There are also two wildcard spots available, that would be the two drivers from 11th to 20th place in points who have the most wins.Let's say three drivers from 11th to 20th place have two wins each after the 26 races. The two drivers with the most points of the three would qualify for the wildcard spots.To determine the Nascar Sprint Cup Series winner:Whoever has the most points over the last 10 races of the season is declared the champion.
No, NASCAR would not of saved Oldsmobile. Some cars in NASCAR are Ford and Chevrolet.
There are a few reasons for this (not neccessarily fact, but generally acknowledged within the NASCAR fanbase). Since 2004, the sport has experienced a significant drop in quality with new corporate management, new rules, and a new points system. With the inclusion of the Chase for the Sprint Cup points system, all drivers in the top 10 in points, along with two wild-card drivers, have their points reset to 2,000, with an additional 3 points for every win in the first 26 races; this makes the points race much closer for the final ten races as compared to the 26th race. Because of this, a driver needs only to make the Chase for a shot at the championship, then race hard for the final 10 races, rather than race hard/consistently for the entire season. Since 2004, there have been seven Chase for the Sprint Cup champions (Kurt Busch, Tony Stewart, and Jimmie Johnson); but only three of those times has the champion scored the most points in the season, suggesting that the other four champions didn't deserve to win the championship. Johnson has won the title every year since 2006, but only twice (2006 and 2009) has he earned the most points in a season, meaning that while he may be a five-time champion, three of them were only won because of th Chase. This wouldn't be as big a deal if the Chase was critically successful in the NASCAR community, but since it isn't, and due to the fact that Jeff Gordon would be a six-time champ instead of a four-time champ if it wasn't for the Chase, this concept has been met with unpopular results (including lower attendance and tv ratings). So in conclusion, Jimmie Johnson may be a five-time champion, but in most people's eyes he is simply a three-time paper champion. A dynasty is a team which has dominated their sport for anywhere from 5-10 years in a row, but in Johnson's case, he has only been the benefactor of a faulty system.
With the old system they were 13 chips for 3 points. I would guess they are 4 points for the new system
In the early 1940's he participated in races at Daytona Beach when he moved there from Washington to escape the Great Deppression. The races were very unorganized and the sponsor of the race would leave with the prize money before the race was over. France wanted an organized sport with a complex points system so he founded NASCAR at the Streamline hotel at Daytona Beach, Florida in 1948.
NASCAR IS SPELLED National Association Stock Car Auto Racing that would be the longer way of spelling Nascar
To locate the points.
The super bowl champion would kill...
No. If Nascar did this it would mean that most numbers would be retired and we would be seeing 3 cars on the track.
there would be an another cross word champion or the second crossword champion would go first.
