 Then the "Eliminator Round" involves axing 50% of the Chase grid with the final cut, cutting the new bottom four drivers after the penultimate race at Phoenix, leaving the top four drivers to have their point totals reset to 5,000 so that they are tied for the final race at Homestead-Miami for the title run.The drivers who miss the cut after this round have their score reset to the score at the end of the first cut, plus total points accumulated in the six previous races.Of these four drivers who make this cut, the driver with the best absolute finish (no bonus points are involved) at Homestead is then crowned the season champion.
