NASCAR Sprint Cup’s top three season comebacks
The new NASCAR Sprint Cup Point system is still shaking out. There have been many surprises including Paul Menard sitting securely in the top ten as well as some drivers we would normally expect to see in the top ten or 15 falling so far behind, it looks as though their season could be in jeopardy. Jeff Burton, Clint Bowyer and Kevin Harvick were expected to pull the weight for Richard Childress Racing, but Burton and Bowyer are sitting way back in 24th and 29th respectively. Jamie McMurray was expected to make a run for the chase after stacking up one of the highest points totals in the last ten races of 2010. McMurray sits way back in 26th.
Under NASCAR's old system a driver could make up around 150 points per race. Under the new system, a win along with leading the most laps will allow a driver to make up a maximum of 47 points. Under the new NASCAR point system, will we see some of the dramatic comebacks like the top three season comebacks under the old point system?
