Actually, you don't get points for being on the pole.  If you start on the pole and get the lead on the first lap, then you will get 5 bonus points for leading the first lap.  The only thing the pole position gets is bragging rights and being in front of the rest of the pack.

If Jeff Gordon won both races, then Jimmie would have to gain less than 203 points.  There's many possible combinations, but Jeff Gordon still could win if JJ got 3rd, but the next race he'd have to get 42nd, and the other guys would have to fall behind him somewhere.\n\nLook for Jimmie and the others finishing 21st or worse, which probably won't happen.\n\nHere's a chart on how many points are awarded for what place:\n\nhttp://www.nascar.com/news/headlines/official/points.explained/

Chances are you will get points on your license.  Your insurance is also likely to go up.  Regardless of whether or not someone was tailgating you, YOU were speeding, so it's your fault.

He bought Derrick Cope's car for the race.  They will paint it to look like Michael's car, with Michael's sponsors.  Michael will get the driver points, and Derrick Cope should get the car owner points.

Ok I am a huge NASCAR fan and the point system is kind of confusing. But I am sure you can understand.The winner of each Nextel Cup race receives 180 points. The runner-up scores 170. From there, the point total declines in five-point increments for Nos. 2-6; points drop four points per driver for Nos. 7-11; and three-point increments separate drivers' points for finishers 12th place and lower.\n\nIn addition to the points allocated, any driver who leads a lap receives five bonus points. The driver who leads the most laps receives an additional five bonus points.\nIn Nextel Cup racing, following the 26th race of the season, all drivers in the top 10 -- and any others within 400 points of the leader -- earn a berth in the Chase for the Nextel Cup.\n\nAll drivers in the Chase will have their point totals adjusted. The first-place driver in the standings begins the Chase with 5,050 points; the second-place driver will start with 5,045, etc. Incremental five-point drops will continue through 10th place (5,005 points).\n\nIf more than 10 drivers qualify for the Chase, the additional drivers will have their points reset at 5,005.\n\n• Owners are rewarded in the points race in much the same fashion but, unlike drivers, they earn points for merely attempting to make a race. If an owner shows up with two drivers and one fails to qualify, the owner still receives points for the non-qualifying effort.\n\nThrough the first five races of the season, the top 35 in owners' points from the previous season are guaranteed a starting spot in the race. Beginning with the sixth race, the top 35 in current owners' points are guaranteed a spot.\n\nThe fastest non-qualifier on race day earns 31 points for his owner, three down from the 43rd-place points. The scale continues downward for all non-qualifiers, with the lowest possible point awarded being one.\n\n• Manufacturers have a points race of their own. The car maker who has a driver take first place in a race earns nine points for that race. Second-best performance by a manufacturer gets six points, third place earns four points and fourth place, three points\nRace Points System \nFinish Points   Finish Points

Looks like Tony's bringing the car he won with at Atlanta - if it performs like it did last weekend, Smoke's got a good chance of taking the race.\n\nThat would make my weekend!!!!

It went from the golden helmet to the winston cup trophy which is now the nextel cup

That is really strange.  He's definitely listed as having 0 points overall.  When I look at the Official Results for the Golden Corral 500, he's listed in the points column as "PE."  (First link below.)\n\nOkay.  I looked this up, and apparently it stands for "Post Entry" and means that his "entry blank was submitted to NASCAR past the due date, hence disallowing . . . the ability to earn championship points despite starting the race."  (Second link below; describing another driver, but the same situation.)

Well it really depends what kind of event you are talking about. The average speed for the Nextel Cup event this past weekend was 102.707 mph. The average speed for the Busch event was 92.25 mph. Of course qualifying speeds will always be higher because there is no traffic and more controled conditions. Also Indy cars and nascar trucks may have different average speeds. I would think though the fastest a race car could do would be about 133 to 135 at the track!

Ok   you were doing good for a while... but Tony Stewart, Harvick, and Jr. do not belong  \n\nJr although a fan fav has not performed in cup series and would definatly have to win a championship or at least be on top of his game for another 8-10 years to even be considered!\n\nHarvick is up and comming  but he is another one who has not been conststant in cup. I think we can all agree that he can dominate busch but cup is the big game and no matter how much i like him  I would need to see more from him before consideration.\n\nTony Stewart would probably be your only arguement with me... he is very in-consistant  yes he can win like 6 races in a row, but the rest of the year he sucks!! He does although have 2 championships and i guess no matter how much i don't think he deserves them  that that alone would put him in contention...\n\nYou did However leave out  Dale Sr., Richard Petty, Sterling Marlin, Darrel Waltrip, and many more Old Timers that deserve recognition!!

I remember reading somewhere that because of Dale Jr's accident in the Corvette back in 2004, Budweiser has asked him to limit his non-Cup races to a small number.  If he wants to do more Busch races, he has to ask Budweiser.  \n\nHe does do the majority of the plate races, but he's not running the Busch Daytona race this year, Truex is.  \n\nAs far as David Green, I would guess that he doesn't win because he's a one car Busch team without a Cup affiliation.  If you notice, all the winners this year have been Cup drivers who have Cup dollars invested in their Busch teams.  Mark my words...you won't have but only a handful of Busch only winners this year, if that many.

i have a lot of goodyear class of.. posters, mine show every regular driver from that year, is that what you have? i'm not sure if the poster from that year says 50 years of winning, but i can't find it to check. if not the drivers who won that year are...Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman, Matt Kenseth, Elliott Sadler, Jeremy Mayfield, Rusty Wallace, Greg Biffle, and Joe Nemechek
