[PRL-Sammy H]

The new rule being added to Season 6 will be a Season total of incident points.  With a total of 163 incidents available throughout the 12 races in Season 6  which is calculated by the 9 races with 12 incident limit, followed by 2 SuperSpeedways with 15 incidents, and 1 road course with 25.

The way this will work is at the end of Season 6 we will total up everyone's incidents for the entire season combined.  ANYONE (no matter who you are) over 105 incidents on the season will AUTOMATICALLY be put into the race your way in races for Season 7.  We are trying to keep the aggression in the drivers for good competitive racing but at the same time trying to clean up some of the unnecessary stuff that is going on.  This will be a self policing system in that it will weed out individuals at the end of each season from here on.  Also with the addition of the new bonus point system for Season 6 people who continually win or finish in the top 5 but manage to get high incidents limits will start to see a huge impact in there point totals when they get negative points for incidents.

Again, these systems are being put in place to clean up some of the nonsense but to still be able to provide good, clean, fun, hard racing.
