NASCAR introduces Chase for the Championship format
NASCAR reshapes its points system creating a 10 race showdown for the Nextel Cup. The top 10 and others within 400 points of the leader enter the Chase, with new point ladders and a $5 million minimum for the champion plus $1 million for each top ten finisher and a $250,000 bonus for 11th. The change aims to boost late season excitement and TV ratings.
