NASCAR Help (Ellis?? ;))

Hi Guys,

Wanted to ask a NASCAR question - what are the rules and regs relating to the use of relief drivers during races?

Due to the voting system in Germany, Governments are always made up of coalitions of different parties. At the last election, an almost unprecidented result saw the CDU/CSU (rough equivilant of the Conservatives) go into Government with the SPD (rough equivilant of Labour)

The driver who starts the race scores the points.

Ellis is at/on the way to/about to head to Le Mans, so you'll be getting little help from him

I thought it was half points for each of the drivers? - but I barely watch NASCAR, so you'll want someone such as Neil Pearson to wander in this direction.

/me wanders in

TripleM is right gav, The driver who starts the race gets full points.

Thats why at dover just gone tony Stewert did the first 38 laps, then got out and let ricky rudd drive the car. otherwise i dont think tony would of even started the race, he was in alot of pain.

Thanks guys

Its because the car number is associated to the driver on the green flag. so when the gren drops, the number is tied to that driver. No matter who finishes the race, the points go to the driver thats tied to the number at the green.
