sorry we hijacked your thread. you might try Google-ing "NASCAR handicapping" to see if there's anything other than those 2 articles that will help.

I know when I'm in Vegas, NASCAR's on the board in the "sports betting" area, but since I don't bet on NASCAR, I've never been interested in how they determine the handicapping.

At some tracks where there's limited garage space, some teams have to set up shop on the garage tarmac. When the CTS, Busch and Cup are all at one track on the same weekend and there's not enough hauler/garage space for all, the CTS get parked first, then the Busch. After CTS race is over, they leave and Cup takes their spots - it's worth the price of a ticket just to watch the dosey-doe.

Gotcha! Thanks!

And do the "owners" get their points based on the same as the drivers? Leading a lap, leading the most laps, and where they finish?

They call they "Owner Points," but that's kind of misleading. I think they would be closer to correct to call them "Team Points," since one owner [now] owns multiple teams.

The team gets the same points the driver gets in any given race, plus they get 34 points if they enter and make a qualifying attempt but don't make the race. An example of this is Mikey. As a driver he has -27 points (73 for Daytona -100 penalty) , but the #15 team has 109(73 +34+34+34+34-100).

Hope this explains it.

I wondered how the negative points would affect Mikey ...

I get it ... I think ... will I remember it? No flippin' way!

Thanks, Bob!
