It's reset and not that order.....

Can't remember from the past, does each driver start with points or do they get zeroed out and everyone starts even?

I really thought it was David Gilliland's year.

Denny needs to work on his product placement. Coke isn't cutting him a check to show a UPC label.

Thanks, should have known not to trust NASCAR when they posted: 2011 Live Points Standings

The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup

As of the 2011 season NASCAR changed The Chase format once again. Points are tallied after 26 races and the top ten in points are locked into the final ten race Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Those ten drivers will then be manually seeded with three bonus points for every race that they won during the first 26 races of the season.

In addition to the top ten the two drivers with the most wins who were not in the top ten, but are in the top twenty in points will make the Chase and will be seeded 11th and 12th. They will not get the bonus points for wins going into the Chase.

For the last ten races, NASCAR points are still assigned the same way as the rest of the season to determine the champion.

ABC did a nice job tonight

Chase:

12. #11 Denny Hamlin Toyota FedEx Express

Very cool! Carl raced him clean and one more lap he would have had him~

The points reset to 2000 for the start of the Chase. Ten drivers will then be manually seeded with three bonus points for every race that they won during the first 26 races of the season.

NASCAR Bonus Points

Bonus points are awarded as follows:

Three bonus points are awarded to the driver that wins the race.

One bonus point is awarded to any driver that leads any lap. An additional bonus point is awarded to the driver that leads the most laps in each race.
