Winston cup points system

This is from NASCAR.com. I've been watching racing for ages, but never quite understood how this all worked. Kinda interesting if you care about that stuff.

How the Winston Cup Points System Works

Finishing last in a Winston Cup race isn't as awful as it seems. Everyone gets a piece of the action in some way, shape or form. Points are awarded to every driver who competes in a Winston Cup race.

The winner of a Winston Cup race pockets 175 points. From there the points given decline in five-point increments for places two through six, points awarded drop four points per driver for positions seven through 11 and three-point increments separate drivers' points for finishers in 12th place or lower.
2nd place: 170 points 3rd place: 165 points 4th: 160 points 5th: 155 points 6th: 150 points 7th: 146 points, and so on.

The 43rd-place finisher gets 34 points. Drivers who lead a lap earn five bonus points. The driver who leads the most laps in a single event earns 10 bonus points.

So who do you think will win at Rockingham this weekend??

Let me guess, you are going to pick gordon I just hope stewart can actually get more than 2 laps out of his engine this week.

I hope that wink means you are kidding..I can't STAND Gordon..bah

I think Stewart will do just fine this weekend (it doesn't get much worse then 2 laps), and I think between him and Earnhardt Jr, the young drivers are going to be kicking some major ass this year.

Oh really, I remember a certain "hairy rock star" posting a picture of gordon for you some time ago :p

And here's a little music for the old trailer park


Queen of My Double Wide Trailer
Sammy Kershaw

Well I met her out at Murphy's restaurant
She said she was fresh from the farm
And I remember thinkin' for a country girl
That she went pretty well armed
We sat there talkin' by the lobster tank
I ordered her a slow gin fizz
And when them chicken fried steaks arrived
She said I like living like this

So I made her the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Times she's run off and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

Well a few nights later I run into her
With some stranger on a park bench
She said he rebuilds engines and his name is Earl
He's the Charlie Daniels of the torque wrench
I whispered honey let's just go on home
And have some onion rings and watch TV
And as I walked her to the truck
Earl was cryin' don't you leave me
I told him

This is the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes shes runs and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

I said this is the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes she runs and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

I said this is the queen of my double wide trailer
With the polyester curtains and the redwood deck
Sometimes she runs and I've got to trail her
Dang her black heart and her pretty red neck

She's the Queen
She's the Queen

And here's a little music for the old trailer park

Queen of My Double Wide Trailer
Sammy Kershaw

Oh, wow I think that's the song. I don't like country music much, but I like that song.

Probably because I think the singer is pretty hot.

[JIMMYSNUKA]

WOW it really has been that long!? I guess time flies by when ya live in a trailer.

My bug zapper is broke though...tonight is going to be boring.
