IRL Championship Point System

Like other governing bodies, the IRL, awards points based upon where a driver finishes in a race.

The systems for both the IndyCar Series and Firestone Indy Lights are identical.

The top three drivers are separated by ten and five points respectively
                                                                                                                                               
The fourth through tenth place finishers are separated by two points each

Eleventh through eighteenth will be separated by one point each

All other drivers who start the race will score ten points.

New for 2009, two points will be awarded for the driver who leads the most laps (instead of 3 in previous years) and one point will be awarded to the driver who claims pole position
