even if the winner was awarded 50 points instead of 5 for winning a race the top ten in 2003 Drivers Points would be vurtually unchanged? #12-Newman would move from 9th to 7th and #18-Labonte would fall from 7th to 9th. Newman would be 523 behind Kenseth, instead of 658. Marty Smith of NASCAR.com also has the a recent comparison and Kenseth would lead in the IRL and CART systems while being tied in the F-1 system with Dale Earnhardt Jr. See the story: By any system, Kenseth is the points leader .(8-14-2003) PLUS see Stock Car Fans updated page: How NASCAR points would look in IRL .(8-15-2003)
