[QUOTE="blksn8k, post: 1012684, member: 64142"] In the new format a win doesn't necessarily guarantee a driver will make the Chase. Needless to say getting a win earns the most points so it certainly doesn't hurt your chances. But, you still have to finish high enough in the season points (20th?) after the first 26 races and there are only 16 spots available in the Chase, I think. Which means someone like a David Ragan or Danica could win a plate race (crapshoot) and still not make the Chase. Once you do make the Chase (which includes the last 10 races of 36 total for the entire season) it becomes a process of elimination. I don't know the exact formula but after the first few races of those last 10 races a certain number of drivers get eliminated and so on until there are only four left in contention for the last race. Who ever finishes the highest of those four in that last race at Homestead wins the season championship, I think. Keep in mind that even during the Chase you are still competing against all the drivers for race wins including those who didn't make the Chase (they have to keep all the team sponsors happy and engaged). Oh, and the points get reset to zero for those still in contention at each new stage of the Chase, clear as mud, right? :grin: [/QUOTE]
