2006 Official Driver Standings
|
Overview
After each race, NASCAR scoring officials at the track file a report sheet to
Points and Membership. Once those are meticulously double-checked for
accuracy, NASCAR releases the official standings, including total
winnings. Drivers are awarded points based on their finish, plus any
bonus points for leading races. A driver is eliminated when the maximum
number of points he can accumulate by race 26 is less than either what
it would require to get into the top 10 or stay within 400 points of
the leader. A driver can clinch when the minimum number of points he
can accumulate by race 26 is still greater than either what it would
require to remain in the top 10 or stay within 400 points of the
leader. All projected scenarios for "clinch" and "elimination" assume a
driver will start all remaining races. |
