We have made some changes to our Cup Series this year. We hope this helps make the point standings easier to follow. The first major change is that a Win no longer automatically advances you to the playoffs. We no longer have bonus' for low I.P. There will only be 1 bonus point given to the Stage winner, but not until the playoffs begin. There are no drop weeks, race when you can. Bonus points will be awarded at playoffs for each race participated in.
