•In addition to the foregoing, one (1) point will be awarded for positions after 43rd place • If a car makes a qualifying attempt, but fails to earn one of the available starting positions, the car owner and driver will be awarded points, starting with the position following the last position in the starting field. • A driver will be credited only with points earned in the car in which he/she started the race, and the starting driver will be credited with all points earned by that car in that race. To be eligible for points, the car must be en- tered in the event and the driver must start the race. A driver cannot receive points for more than one car in the race. • Three additional bonus points will be awarded to each driver and car owner that wins the race, one additional bonus point will be awarded to each driver and car owner whose car officially leads a lap, and one addi- tional bonus point will be awarded to the driver and car owner leading the most official laps. (In the event of ties, duplicate points will be awarded.) NASCAR Officials will deter- mine the official leader(s) of the race. The of- ficial lap leader and finishing positions will be determined at the start/finish line.
