 If a driver qualifies for the championship, these playoff points will be added into their point totals after the resets for the first 3 rounds (Round of 16, Round of 12, Round of 8).For the Round of 4, (final race) there are no bonus points involved and the highest finishing driver of the 4 is declared the champion.This means a driver can have less regular season points than another driver, but be seeded higher due to more wins.
