The Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup
As of the 2004 season NASCAR points are tallied after 26 races and the top ten and any drivers within 400 points of the leader are locked into the final ten race Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup.
These drivers have their points manually set. The point leader automatically gets 5,050 points, the second place driver gets 5,045 and so on, five points per position.
For the last ten races, NASCAR points are still assigned the same way as the rest of the season to determine the champion.

The winner gets 185 points plus there are 5 bonus points for most laps led. Each spot after that goes down five points. This is for each race.

Points awarded for DNF's are just the points for the place the crashed car finished in.
