NASCAR Updates Points System For The Whelen All-American Series…….
News from NASCAR is that the point system for 2010 will change slightly from this past
season. In 2009, the points system for the NASCAR National Championship was based on a 23
car field, which meant that the winner would receive a maximum point total of 46 points
for a win. Fields larger than 23 cars would not affect the total win point total. This
season NASCAR has dropped the maximum field total to 20 cars, which means the winner would
receive a maximum point total of 40 points. Fields larger than 20 cars will still not
affect the point total. The 5 point bonus for the driver winning an event remains the
same. In addition, NASCAR has given the individual tracks an option as to whether or not
they would use the 5 point bonus system for the support classes. Old Dominion Speedway has
chosen not to use this option for their support divisions.
NASCAR has also dropped the age limit for support divisions only, to 14 years old. The age
limit for a premier series division is 16 years of age.
NASCAR has also extended the Weekly Series point deadline one week for 2010. The final
event for NASCAR points across the country is now September 19th.
Old Dominion Speedway has added the Mid-Atlantic Street Stock Series to the list of NASCAR
sanctioned events run in 2010.
