NASCAR introduced some changes to the playoff system for 2004. It changed its entire-season standings to a playoff format and split the playoffs in two sections. These changes were made to increase viewer interest and television ratings.
The Round of 16 was the first segment of the playoffs. This round was comprised of three races. The winner of each race received ten points plus a playoff point. The third and fourth drivers received eight points each, while the fourth driver got seven.
Round of 16 represented the second section of the playoffs. The Round of 16, which consisted in three races, was the second segment of the playoffs. The first race winner received ten points and a playoff point. The second race winner received nine points and a playoff point. The third race winner received eight points, while the fourth placed driver received seven.
The Championship 4 was the fourth segment of the playoffs. This round consisted of a race in Phoenix. In this race, the winner was crowned champion. The winner won 15 bonus Playoff point.
For the last 10 races of the season, the championship will be rescheduled. It will be a four-man showdown in Phoenix. The NASCAR Cup Series champion, will be chosen by the winner. After the season is over, the championship will go to the driver with the most points. The seeding of the playoffs is determined by how many points you have.
The most important element of the playoffs is the points system. While the points system may seem simple, it is not difficult to understand. The points system is numerical and emphasizes winning over consistency. Points are awarded on an a sliding scale in the playoffs. Points are a great way to increase competition and could lead to a championship in just two-thirds.
The championship could also have been determined mathematically prior to the season's final race. For example, the championship is won by the driver who finishes first, second and third in the regular season. A driver who finishes eighth, ninth, and tenth in the regular season will finish last.
To make the playoffs, winning is the best option. The playoffs are almost guaranteed for a driver who wins a regular season race. A driver who finishes in the top 8 points will automatically be advancing to the Championship 4. If they win a race or finish in the top 30, they will make it to the playoffs.
The playoffs allow drivers to get rewarded for their wins. NASCAR awards bonus points for regular-season wins in addition to their points system. These bonus points will be added on to the points accrued from each race. The Bonus Playoff points are awarded to the Top 10 Regular Season Drivers.
The playoffs are a great way for fans to stay engaged throughout the season. In addition to NASCAR Cup Series races, playoffs are used for the Gander RV Series as well as the Outdoors Truck Series. Some races were aired live on NBCSN in 2016.
