NASCAR to expand number of ‘Chase’ drivers, more points for wins

Quote selected text Published January 4th, 2007 in NASCAR News

NASCAR Nextel CupThe NASCAR Nextel Cup 2007 season will feature more points for victories and more drivers in the Chase for the Cup, NASCAR vice president of corporate communications Jim Hunter said this afternoon.

How many points and how many drivers are being determined, Hunter said during a visit to USA TODAY’s newsroom in McLean, Va.

“We’re still running the models,” Hunter said, adding that an official announcement will be made during NASCAR’s media tour Jan. 22-26 in Charlotte.

NASCAR added the Chase for the Cup in 2004 with the top 10 drivers in the points standings and anyone within 400 points of the leader, competing in the final 10 races for the Cup championship.

Kurt Busch won the inaugural Chase. Tony Stewart won in 2005 and Jimmie Johnson won last year.
