*Rule Changes*
Perhaps the biggest change is the way points are awarded each race. In a system that will take over across the top three tiers of NASCAR, the race winner will now be awarded 46 points–43 points for the win plus a three point bonus–for taking the checkers first. Additionally drivers will be awarded one point each for leading a lap and leading the most laps, bringing the total possible points per race to 48.
