Standings

Further information: List of NASCAR points scoring systems

Points are awarded to drivers and team using the current point system used in NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. The driver that gained the most positions in a race will receive 4 bonus championship points. In addition, double points are awarded for the Playoff races.

For the V8GP and EuroNASCAR OPEN driver's championship, only the best 8 results from the first 9 races and the results from the Playoffs at Oschersleben and Zolder will count towards the final standings. For the Rookie Challenge championships, points are awarded per session and the results listed from each round in the standings are the combined results. For the Endurance Teams Championship, all points will be counted with no dropped scores.
