Here’s how the points reset works when the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup™ begins Sept. 16 at Chicagoland Speedway. Each of the 12 qualifiers begins the 10-race competition with 2,000 points.

The top-10 qualifiers then are awarded three bonus points for each victory. Example, based on current standings (locked in drivers):

Jimmie Johnson (three wins) would start the Chase with 2,009 points, Greg Biffle (two wins) 2,006 points and Dale Earnhardt Jr. (one win) 2,003 points.

The two Wild Card qualifiers receive no bonus points regardless of how many times they have won during the regular season.

Earnhardt won at Bristol in August 2004 and has been the series’ most consistent competitor in Thunder Valley with an average finish of 9.8. He was 15th in March.
