Simple scoring for NASCAR

NASCAR fans aren’t going to have to do nearly as much math next season.

The racing league announced a new scoring system yesterday, greatly simplifying the one it’s been using since 1975.

Now, the winner of each 43-car Sprint Cup race will receive 43 points, down to one for the last-place driver. There are bonuses for wins and leading laps.
