So NASCAR has announced a new points system. The scoring was pretty complicated and is now way simpler. Now it will be the opposite of finishing position. 1st place gets 43 points. Last place (43rd) gets 1. The winner gets an additional 3 points, and lap leaders get 1 point with an extra point for leading the most laps. A maximum of 48 points for the winner now.
Drivers now need to choose which series they will compete for the championship. No more trying to win the Nationwide series and the Sprint cup series at the same time. The driver could still help win an owners championship in one of the other series though.
Qualifying will now be based on practice speed instead of the lottery draw. If qualifying is canceled the race lineup is based on qualifying speed, except if all practices are canceled as well, then the line up will go by points.
Now you know. That's half the battle.
