With only 2 races of the regular season to go it's time to clarify the details how the chase works. We go exactly with the rule changes introduced this year by the Nascar Sprint Cup, see also resources below.
1. The participants of the chase are recruited as follows:
* the Top 10 of the regular season are qualified.
* additional there are two wildcard places which are chosen in this order:
- from regular P11 - P20 the two drivers with the most victories
- if still one or both places would be available or a decision between 2 drivers with the same number of victories is necessary the driver[s] with the most points get them.
* Everybody else continues normally.
2. Points:
* The Top 10 get their points reset to 2.000 points + 3 points for each victory during the regular season.
* victories for 11th & 12th are taken as "payment" to make it into the chase.
* Everybody else continues with the points made during the regular season.
* Points per race stay for all the same as up to now.
At the moment the leader board would look like this:
| 1. | Coscos | 2027 points |
| 2. | Thomas, TheHammer | 2006 points |
| 4. | Delas, Arivert | 2003 points |
| 6. | Shaman, PMV, Mr.Eddy, Tototto, Wakaluba, Andreas, Jimmy | 2000 points |
| 13. | Reh | 589 points |
| 14. | Martelprod | 551 points |
| 15. | ... | ... points |
| ... | ... | ... points |
| ... | ... | ... points |

5 of the 12 places for the chase are still not decided and we wish all drivers involved Good Luck! and to everybody a successful chase with a lot of fun!
