Drivers now qualify for the postseason based purely on points earned across the full 26-race regular season—no more “win and you’re in.” Wins are worth 55 points (up from 40) to spark more aggressive racing, while the regular-season champion gets a 25-point head start. No eliminations during The Chase, but standings reset once after the regular season ends. The driver with the most points after the final Chase race claims the title. This fan-driven overhaul rewards sustained excellence, turning each week into a championship contender’s battleground.
