The lingering positions will be determined based on points earned during the separate rounds. Once again, the points for the drivers in the Chase will be reset prior to the start of each round resulting in the same amount of points for each driver at the beginning of a race.
Drivers that are not involved in the Chase will continue to earn points under the current non-Chase points format. It seems to me that these new format changes are not actually centered around winning. Will this eliminate points racing? Will each race be more important? Will this cut certain drivers out of the sport? There are many confusing scenarios within the new format change especially after hearing from France that the goal is to emphasize winning. Since one win allows a driver to get in the Chase, what if a driver wins the sixth race of the season?
