  • What Would Dale Do Revised
    What Would Dale Do? Applying the 2004 NASCAR Points System to the “Earnhardt” Years by Ben Rushing Northwestern State University of Louisiana Department of Mathematics Kyser Hall Natchitoches, LA 71497 e-mail: [email protected] telephone: (318) 357-5054 and Richard Manion Northwestern State University of Louisiana Space Science Group Kyser Hall Natchitoches, LA 71497 e-mail: [email protected] telephone: (318) 357-6253 Abstract The process for computing points to determine the winner of the NASCAR championship was changed effective with the 2004 racing season. The previous points structure had been in place since 1976. This analysis gives a brief history of the origins of NASCAR and analyses the changes that would have occurred had the new process for determining the NASCAR champion been used during the years when seven-time series champion, Dale Earnhardt dominated the series. What Would Dale Do? Applying the 2004 NASCAR Points System to the “Earnhardt” Years Ben Rushing, Jr. and Richard Manion Earnest Hemingway once said, “Auto racing, bullfighting, and mountain climbing are the only true sports. All the rest are children’s games played by adults.” Seven-time NASCAR champion, Dale Earnhardt said, “The most important things in my life is [sic] God, my family and that black #3 GM Goodwrench car.” [1] A Brief History Of NASCAR The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) series had its rather humble beginnings on the sand beaches of Daytona, Florida. At the turn of the 20th century when automobiles were in their infancy, would be record setters gathered on the beaches around Daytona to accelerate to top speed and see which driver and car was fastest.

    Special Publication by Kapp Advertising - 2019 Season 15 The History of NASCAR’s Rookie of the Year Award continued from page 14 the right to declare for Rookie eligibility at a later date. However, when Bayne finally declared for Sprint Cup points in 2015, a previously little-known provision came into play that places a limit on the cumulative number of races a driver can run without declaring for points before he loses future Rookie eligibility. Bayne was confirmed by NASCAR to have exceeded this limit (although there has yet to be a definite announcement on what this limit actually is) and was therefore ineligible to run for Rookie of the Year in 2015. Danica Patrick ran ten races in 2012 in Sprint Cup, though she declared she would race for the Nationwide championship, allowing her in 2013 to declare in Sprint Cup, and race as a rookie. This also allows lower-tier drivers to substitute for injured drivers in higher-tier series without risk of losing rookie eligibility.
