I'm just getting into NASCAR and I've been following the chase and all, and I went on wikipedia and on NASCAR's website to read how the points system works. What I don't understand is how Tony Stewart was in front of Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson for almost the whole race at Talladega but in the update for the Chase for the points that was showing on the screen during the race showed Tony Stewart get into 1st place(Chase-wise) mid-race and then pull back into 4th place in the Chase, and all of this while he was still in front of the 24 and the 48, and the 07 for that matter. From my understanding, you get points for leading a lap, leading the most laps, and ending position. Can someone explain to me how it really works and how Tony was bouncing all over the place in the points standings while he was constantly in front of both of them? Thanks.
