First, NASCAR has allegedly said they are planning on scrapping the points system they have now, and doing a simpler, less complicated system. First place would receive 43 points for the win, 2nd place would receive 42, and so on and so forth. This makes the math for everyone simpler, and makes the fight for the championship closer.
Second, NASCAR has allegidly decided according to some inside sources that they will have a 12 man chase again, but with some changes. Ten drivers will make the chase format based off points, and then the final 2 spots will go to the next two guys who don't originally qualify for the chase with the most wins to qualify. THERE WILL NOT BE AN ELIMINATION SYSTEM IN PLACE.
Third, they aren't sure yet how to award lap leaders, and most lap leaders. Nor are they sure if they will give a bonus to a race winner anymore, or the point leader after the 26th race. There has also been talks about giving pole winners points, but that doesn't look like it will be happening.
NOTE: THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY JENNA FRYER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. NO CONFIRMATION IS EXPECTED TILL LATER THIS WEEK, ALONG WITH THE NATIONWIDE LIMIATION ANNOUNCEMENT. INFO IS UP FOR EDITING UNTIL CONFIRMATION.
