How far will nascar go to ensure it’s golden boy will win the chapionship? Especially at Atlanta, when jimmie ran out of fuel. Right when he said that BAM, one of Nascar’s famous no show debris cautions. They should just give him the cup now.

nascar chase seeding and tie-breakers

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008
Rowdy’s #1 Fan asked:


this came up in an earlier question and i can’t find an answer, so i thought i’d ask a real nascar question:

once the chase starts, all twelve top drivers start with 5000 points PLUS the bonus points awarded for wins this year (minus any “bonus point” penalties like cousin carl received after vegas)

if the chase were to start tomorrow, kyle would be seeded first with 5080 points; carl would be seeded second with 5030; jimmie and kasey would be tied for third with 5020, junior, burton, and denny would be tied for fifth with 5010, and the rest would be tied for eighth with 5000.

my question is: if qualifying for the first chase race is rained out, how would the top twelve starting positions be determined, especially between drivers who have the same number of bonus points?

i know kyle would start P1 and carl P2. but how would the rest start? in my example, jimmie and kasey are tied in points, so who gets P3 and who gets P4? and further down, junior, burton, and denny are tied as well - so which of them would line up P5, who would be P6, and who would be P7? and how would all those drivers with 5000 points be lined up? why?

in short, how would a tie between or amongst chase drivers be broken should a situation like qualifying being rained out occur, at loudon or anywhere after that if a tie still exists? average finishing position to date? second-place finishes? top-fives? top-tens? fewest dnfs? fan votes? salary? a dance-off?

and what if two drivers were also tied on whatever the first tie-breaker is?

i know the answer is out there somewhere… can someone find it, and make sure it applies to this year?
they couldn’t line up in the positions they held before the chase started, imnsho, as at the very least, many of them “shifted” quite a ways once the “resetting” was done. in my example kahne and hamlin moved up enough spots in the new seeding to conflct completely with the old points standings.

that would be as if last year, when jeff had the points lead before richmond, but jimmie had it after because he had more wins, the first race jeff would have been put “back” on the pole. i don’t see many being happy with that solution, but then again, when has anyone being “happy” with a decision ever been a real consideration anyways… ;-)
