NASCAR History Continued:

If any one race is responsible for helping to bring NASCAR to its immense popularity today, it would be the Daytona 500 three years later in 1979. This was the first NASCAR race to be televised flag-toflag, on CBS. An estimated twenty million people tuned in that day in February 1979.

Although the 80's brought huge growth to NASCAR, the decade also brought significant changes to the sport. Many legends of the sport retired or became less competitive, and in many cases their sons took over. Names like Dale Earnhardt (son of short track legend Ralph Earnhardt), Davey Allison (son of Bobby Allison), Kyle Petty (son of Richard Petty), and Dale Jarrett (son of Ned Jarrett) replaced the names of their fathers at the forefront of Winston Cup racing.

Another man who helped bring NASCAR to its present popularity was Dale Earnhardt. Earnhardt has won seven Winston Cup championships, in 1980, '86, '87, '90, '91, '93, and '94. Throughout the 80's and 90's Earnhardt's dirty driving style and his sinister black Chevy has made him both the crowd favorite and crowd nemesis. Any race fan has an opinion on Earnhardt, and often certain stands at racetracks would be divided into sections which either all love or hate Earnhardt.

And then the unthinkable happened. The tragic accident in the closing lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. Dale Earnhardt died that day, but his memory will live on.

Earnhardt, a native of Kannapolis, N.C., was Daytona's career victories leader and the winner of the 1998 Daytona 500. According to Dr. Steve Bohannon, emergency medical services director at Daytona International Speedway who responded to the crash, Earnhardt was killed instantly.

"He had what I feel were life-ending type injuries at the time of impact," Dr. Bohannon said. "Really nothing could be done for him."

The announcement was made at 7 p.m. ET by NASCAR President Mike Helton.

"Undoubtedly this is one of the toughest announcements I've personally had to make," said Helton, whose motorsports career covers more than 20 years. "After the accident in Turn 4 at the end of the Daytona 500 we've lost Dale Earnhardt."

Earnhardt's death was the 27th in the history of the track, which opened with the inaugural Speedweeks in 1959. The first fatality was Daytona Beach native Marshall Teague, who died before Speedweeks began while testing an Indy car for a world closed course speed record.

How the NASCAR point system works

Turner Sports Interactive January 30, 2004
Info from www.nascar.com

The biggest barometer of how a NASCAR team determines its success or failure during a season is the number of series points it earns.

The winner of each NASCAR race receives 180 points. The runner-up in each event scores 170. From there, the point total declines in five-point increments for places two through six, points awarded drop four points per driver for positions seven through 11 and three-point increments separate drivers' points for finishers in 12th place or lower.

The 43rd, or last-place driver, gets 34 points.

There are also bonus points up for grabs at each event. Drivers receive five points for leading a lap and an additional five points for leading the most laps.

In Nextel Cup racing, following the 26th race of the season, all drivers in the NASCAR Top 10 and any others within 400 points of the leader will earn a berth in the "Chase for the Championship."

All drivers in the "chase" will have their point totals adjusted. The first-place driver in the standings will begin the chase with 5,050 points; the second-place driver will start with 5,045, etc. Incremental five-point drops will continue through the list of title contenders.

Owners are rewarded in the points race in much the same fashion but, unlike drivers, they earn points for merely attempting to make a race. If an owner shows up with a pair of drivers, and one fails to qualify, the owner still receives points for the non-qualifying effort.

The fastest non-qualifier on race day earns 31 points for his owner, three down from the 43rd-place points. The scale continues downward from there for all non-qualifiers, with the lowest possible point(s) awarded being one.

Manufacturers have a points race of their own. The car maker who has a driver take first place in a race earns nine points for that race. Second-best performance by a manufacturer gets six points, third place earns four points and fourth place, three points.
