How the NASCAR playoffs work:

At all three NASCAR national series, there are a number of eliminations that will take place as the playoffs progress. This will leave a crop of drivers for the series finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where they will race “straight-up” for the title as the first of the four championship-eligible drivers to cross the finish line is crowned the champion.

Round-by-round

Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series
– 16 drivers, four rounds
– Playoffs begin at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
– Cutoff races: Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course, Kansas Speedway, ISM Raceway at Phoenix

How drivers earn points:

– Win Stage 1 or Stage 2 in a race: 1 playoff point (point awarded per stage win)
– Win a race: 5 playoff points
– Win the regular-season championship: 15 playoff points

Second place in the final regular-season standings earns 10 playoff points, third place receives eight points, and the points awarded decline to one point for 10th (4th = 7 points, 5th = 6 points, etc.).

Championship-contending drivers can accumulate additional playoff points throughout the playoffs via stage and race wins and may use all the playoff points they earn, from both the regular season and the playoffs, to advance all the way up to the Championship 4.

Playoff points are added to a championship-contending driver’s reset points total at the start of every round of the Playoffs until they are eliminated from championship contention.

If a driver accumulates playoff points during the regular season, but does not qualify for the playoffs, their playoff points are eliminated from the scoreboard.

At Homestead-Miami, playoff points are off the table and the Championship four drivers enter the “winner-take-all” race tied in the standings.
