Spurred on by the most exciting points battle in the history of NASCAR Sprint Cup, the remaining touring divisions run under the NASCAR banner will switch to the same point system in 2012. This includes the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour which is so popular among Northeast race fans.
The simplified points system will not only make it easier to keep track of the standings, but should also make the championship battle even more intense as more competitors are likely to be involved.
NASCAR made the change in an effort to bring all of it's series under one set of procedures. Earlier this year, NASCAR brought the three attempts at a green-white-checker finish, and no passing on restarts until a driver has crossed the start/finish line.
This certainly gives New Jersey race fans another reason to look forward to the 2012 Modified season. Maybe the next step will be to get the Garden State a Tour date.
