I wouldn't bank much on my memory... lol But I think they were all just 1 point, back in the day? Though I don't really remember the half way point(s)? Leading a lap was 1 and leading the most was 1, iirc.. They may have upped them at some point.

* Just googled it.. We're both wrong. From 75' - 2010 it was 5 points for leading a lap and 5 for leading the most. 


Those were the days though. My first memory of actual bonus points mattering, was in 92'.. Elliott blew a big point lead in the last few races to Kulwicki, who needed bonus points in Atlanta to win the Championship. Seems like they used some weird strategy to do it? Ran long on fuel maybe? Can't remember..  :raspberry:


* Just googled that too.. Elliott won the race but Kulwicki lead 103 laps to Elliots 102 for the extra 5 points.

Ok Mick, let’s test you memory.. pre chase points earning you got bonus points for leading a lap, points for leading the most laps and points for leading at the halfway mark. Was it one point for leading a lap, 5 for most laps and 5 for halfway?


Also of note, when bonus points for leading at halfway were awarded, they didn’t throw a caution so everyone could pit and reset the field. They just kept runnin.

It's so fucking stupid. They're adding another RC next year. (Mexico replaces Richmond) They already have a rc in each of the 1st 2 rounds. All they need to do is add one in round 3, then the VanGinsbergen's of the Euro Cup series can come over here and be Nascar Cup Champ with 3 rc wins and a little luck in Phoenix. lol

As it stands, if I could afford to field a team, I could get 1 win and 25 DNFs and I’d be in the chase. That’s fucking stupid. It made much more sense when a guy could win the championship as long he consistently finished well yet didn’t win a race.

Bubba wasn't making it either way. Buescher is the one to feel bad for. There's a bunch of guys in this year that have no business running for a Championship. Burton, Briscoe, Suarez, Bowman, Cindric, Keselowski..

that is truly tragic.   That poor family.  What does the sister do?   Tell me she postponed it? :'(    How can that possibly be  happy day?

How is it that the suspect was named?   Idiots are going to target his innocent family. :(


I haven’t pursued it much, but it appears the wedding happened as a wake as well.


In this country, arrests and court proceedings are a matter of public record. Anyone can see the information and post it online. Most are not interesting enough to report on. As far as the accident goes, I’m guessing it will be a couple days before the local law enforcement finishes the crash scene report, and Monday is a holiday here so it may be a couple days to get all the details on that.
