About the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series
Telecommunications giant Nextel replaced R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.
as the title sponsor of NASCAR's premier series in January 2004.
RJR had been with NASCAR for 31 years, signing in 1972 to take over
what was then called the Grand National Series.
The NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Purse
Who wins what amount of money at the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race
can seem a little confusing. Fans new to the sport wonder how a
driver finishing far behind the leader can win more money than one
finishing in the top 10. In the 2002 Old Dominion 500 at Martinsville
Speedway, Jimmie Johnson won $49,550 for his sixth place finish,
while Jeff Gordon won $90,753 for placing 36th. The money disparity
is due to the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series bonus program Gordon, as
the defending champion and driving for one of the leading winners
in the series, Hendrick Motorsports, was eligible for more special
awards than Jimmie Johnson's newer team.
Each race in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series carries a purse. The
purse is made up of a number of segments, which includes a list
of qualifying and special awards. The racing purse breakdown designates
a set amount for positions 1-43. NASCAR Nextel Cup team owners may
participate in special award plans, such as "Plan 1,"
which allows for a set figure per owner. Car owners participating
in "Plan 1c" win money for their finishing position in
relation to the other owners in the plan. Among the largest special
awards at each race are the NASCAR Nextel Leader Bonus, Time Trial
Awards and the Gatorade Front Runner Award.
The NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Point System
The winner of each NASCAR race receives 180 points. The runner-up
scores 170. From there, the point total declines in five-point increments
for places two through six. For positions seven through 11, points
awarded drop four points per position. Three-point increments separate
drivers' points for 12th place and lower. The 43rd, or last-place
driver, scores 34 points. There are also bonus points available
at each event. Drivers receive five points for leading a lap and
an additional five points for leading the most laps. In Nextel Cup
racing, following the 26th race of the season, all drivers in the
NASCAR Top 10, and any others within 400 points of the leader, will
earn a berth in the "Chase for the Championship."
