In addition to finishing order points, there are 10 extra bonus
points that can be earned. Any driver who leads at least one lap
earns 5 bonus points, and the driver that leads the most laps in the
race earns an additional 5 points.
What are provisionals? Provisional starts are awarded to
regular Winston Cup drivers to aid them in qualifying for a race in
case their qualifying speed is not fast enough to get them into the
race. Each race has 4 provisionals available to car owners (not
drivers) in the top 40 in points. For the first 4 races of the
season, the top 40 is determined from the previous season's final
point standings. Each of those teams starts the season with 4
available provisionals, and can earn 1 more every 8 races -- up to a
maximum of 7 per year. In addition to the 4 standard provisional
starting positions at each race, there is 1 champions provisional
available. If a previous Winston Cup Champion doesn't make a race
based on their time trial, this 5th provisional is added for the
race. If 2 champions need this provisional then it is awarded to the
most recent champion.
