The 2005 season saw a change in the points system. Rather than every driver taking the start of the race being eligible for full points as before, now only those that complete at least 60% distance and are running at the end of the race get full points for their finishing position. Anyone that completes less than 60% race distance scores 10 points as long as they take the start and are not excluded from the final result.

The NASCAR Cup Series is the top racing series of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). The series began in 1949 as the Strictly Stock Division, and from 1950 to 1970 it was known as the Grand National Division. In 1971, when the series began leasing its naming rights to the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, it was referred to as the NASCAR Winston Cup Series (1971–2003). A similar deal was made with Nextel in 2003, and it became the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series (2004–2007). Sprint acquired Nextel in 2005, and in 2008 the series was renamed the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (2008–2016).
