Did you know, this is how the IndyCar Series points work? IndyCar Series Championship Points ***Note: All points procedures and totals are subject to change prior to the start of the 2014 season. The IndyCar Series recognizes entrant and driver champions. To facilitate competition for these championships, the IndyCar Series calculates and publicizes complete rankings of all participating entrants and drivers following the close of each race. The league has established the following system under which eligible entrants and drivers may accumulate points: Entrant points will be credited only to an entrant holding a valid entrants license at the time of the event, competing with a properly registered car and displaying the assigned car number throughout any event. Driver points will be credited only to drivers holding a valid driver’s license at the time of the event. In the event the starting driver receives relief during the running of a race, the starting driver will receive the points for that car for the race. The relief driver will not receive any points for driving that car. At the close of the season, the entrant and driver with the highest number of ranking points respectively shall be declared the IndyCar Series Champion. In the case of a tie in the championships, the league will determine the champion based on the most first-place finishes. If there is still a tie, the league will determine the champion by the most second-place finishes, then the most third-place finishes, etc., until a champion is determined. The league will apply the same system to other ties in the rankings at the close of the season and at any other time during the season. Race Finish Points Race Finish Points Race Finish Points 1 50 2 40 3 35 4 32 5 30 6 28 7 26 8 24 9 22 10 20 Pole Award: 1 bonus point Leading at Least One Lap: 1 point Most Laps Led: 2 bonus points
