I was a bit surprised to see that there are no videos like this on YouTube so I decided to make one for this week's upload. Don't get me wrong, I love the new playoff format but it was really interesting to look back on the points format that got me into Nascar. I hope you guys enjoyed this upload and if you did make sure to leave some suggestions down below for future videos. Thank you guys so much for watching and I hope you enjoy!

NASCAR’S GREATEST POINTS BATTLES
NASCAR’S GREATEST POINTS BATTLES
1992, 2004, 2011, and 2013 Between Matt Kenseth and Jimmie Johnson instantly come to mind. That battle between Kenseth and Johnson was fun to watch.
Don’t forget 2005 , with Tony fighting off 5 roush drivers
I Like 1992 Greatest NASCAR Points Alan Kulwicki Clinching The Championship Iconic Generation 3 Thanks For Uploading
I feel like you should’ve mentioned that Bill Elliott would’ve won if his crew chief didn’t make a fatal mistake. Elliott was on track to lead the most laps, but during green flag pit stops, his crew chief lost track of Terry Labonte, allowing him to lead a lap and Alan to clinch the most laps led bonus. Junior Johnson fired the crew chief the moment the checkered flag flew lol
It’s extremely underrated what you spoke about. Yes 10 points is more than 8 or 0, but the fact that Alan literally led one lap more and this error caused a 10 point swing on the most laps led bonus is just insane. Dumbest way anyone has lost a championship that was not from wrecking or blowing up?
2004 is super underated 3 guys could have won the championship in the closing laps( Gordon Johnson Busch) Plus the 2 long shots in mark Martin and Dale Jr having shots at the cup as well. Another good 1 was 2010 and 2007
2012 was crazy I mean think about it, if Jimmie Johnson doesn’t dnf at Phoenix and Homestead, that points gap would even be tighter, and he possibly could’ve won the championship. It’s just bad luck ,I mean both incidents were no fault of his own
Those 2 were neck and neck throughout the second half of the season, could never get away from each other. It was amazing to watch. Biffle was in there too but fell off once the chase came around.
@Nick Mangona yep, also Kahne, Bowyer and Kenseth were all in it too. Like their were sooo many contenders
Stewart’s 2011 title run was incredible. Once the chase started he quickly turned his season around. Edwards had a great season as well and it was hard to see him lose but the minimum of margins.
Thank GOD they changed the points system to what it is today, and I mean that.
I know its Busch Grand National, but Joe Nemechek beat out Bobby Labonte by three points in the 1992 BGN Championship
I like this format. keep it up!
Tony stewart and carl edwards 2011 will forever be a classic battle with my man tony stewart taking the championship
next idea: best burnouts and worst burnouts
