I calculated who would be the NASCAR Cup Series champion over the last 50 years if any of the recent scoring systems would have been used and put the results into a large table.

As you can see here, with the good old 1975 system, Jeff Gordon would have been 7x champion,  Kevin Harvick would have been 4x champion and Jimmie Johnson would have got two titles. With the current playoff system, only Bobby Labonte would have 4 championship titles, Yarborough, B Allison, Gant and Johnson would have 3, and all other stars including Gordon and Earnhardt would have 2 or less titles.

Kyle Petty would have been 1992 champion with the 2011 chase system, Dale Earnhardt Jr would have been 2013 champion with the 2014 four-round chase scoring system. Denny Hamlin would have been 2009 champion and Clint Bowyer would have been 2012 champion with the current playoff system!  

IndyCar carsets from 1973-2011 were added to the MODS page, together with links to owr07 and owr04 mod.
Some of you have noticed that links to F1 carsets or scoring systems have been removed. This is intentional, and caused mainly by the lack of content (F1 carsets, mods,tracks) and trying to keep focus on NASCAR/IndyCar/AustralianV8.

Rosters for each race are now available from: https://tinyurl.com/2rwejwee
These roster lists help to collect cars that raced in any given race and to assign race-specific real-life ratings to them with NRatings.

The rosters will be updated whenever I update the PS tables.

2022 Cup Series paint scheme table is up here.

Scoring scripts for NASCAR 2016-2021 point systems were polished:
1. Added a new page for calculating 2021 points for truck series (22 races instead of 23).
2. Added playoff eligibility limits for drivers with a win in CWTS (driver must be within top 20) and NXS  (must be within top 25).
3. Relaxed playoff eligibility rules in all series (eligible drivers can skip up to half races of regular season instead of participating in ALL races). See the playoff eligibility of Kyle Busch 2015, Kurt Busch 2015, Tony Stewart 2016 and Ross Chastain 2019 (in truck series).
4. Added a possibility to exclude ineligible drivers manually. For this, you need to add a dot IN FRONT of their LAST NAME. You can do this when setting your roster before the race. Scoring script later excludes those drivers automatically from point standings. For example: Last name: .Busch

2021 paint scheme table functionality has been improved:
* they show painter's name in addition to PS name in tooltip box (hover mouse over green cells to see it) and
* it is possible to highlight cars that have been painted for NR2003 by any given painter.
Use checkboxes at the bottom of the table to choose which painter's PS-s to highlight.

... in the list of missing tracks.
All tracks and missing tracks pages include now all the NASCAR Cup Series tracks since 1962. 

Most importantly, I added the map support. If you browse the track tables, you can now click on the location (town) and a google map opens, showing the location of the track.

Also there are now maps available showing locations of ALL NR2003 tracks, or tracks from different series that can be raced in NR2003. 

Currently there are 1156 NR2003 tracks in the list representing 421 different locations around the world.

Real track links updated.
Some of the missing track download links updated.

2021 paint scheme table is up.

No major updates, just regular maintenance. I fixed links on the MODS page. There were some mods and carsets that disappeared from the Internet for a while, but now most of the links should be functional.
Added paint scheme download table for the year 2000 (Cup2000 mod).

The track list was re-organized.
1) Superspeedway table now contains only tracks that are longer than 2 miles.
Auto Club Speedway, Michigan and other 2 mile tracks moved to the Speedway table.

2) A new table with 1 mile long ovals was created. 

Currently there are 1155 NR2003 tracks in the list representing 418 different real tracks around the world.

Thanks to everyone who helped us to finish the 2020 paint scheme set!

Meanwhile I put together a page with 2000 Winston Cup paint schemes. This is for the Cup2000 mod by Team Om3ga. Happy racing against the legends! We have lots of 1998-2000 era tracks made as well.

Added page for the 2020 paint schemes.
Added 2020 scoring system for truck series. 
Added link to the 2020 Virgin Australia Supercars Championship Series paint schemes to the MOD page.

Added 2015 season paint schemes (BR15 mod). Some download links are not active any more (Outlaw Grafix, 4widedesigns), but the authors of those might still be active in our forums.

I uploaded scoring pages that support current NASCAR scoring system with playoff points. Separate pages for CUP, NXS and TRUCKS. Each win gives 5 playoff points and regular season gives up to 15 playoff points. Playoff points are sticky, they are re-awarded before each playoff round. 
Drivers who are within top 30 in point standings (CUP) or who have participated in all races (NXS and TRUCKS) are eligible for playoffs.
​
Stage points are currently not supported, I believe that there are only few people who actually simulate stage racing with NR2003.

I finally fixed some missing links. The track table now includes 1049 tracks from 380 different locations.

The track table has now 1028 varieties of tracks from 376 different locations.

2016 and 2017 paint scheme tables are up again, HERE.
Only Cup series, I don't have time to do Xfinity and Trucks this year.

05 Sep 2016
​Added few tracks and fixed download links. Now the track page has 1001 different versions from 372 real-life tracks. Happy racing!

I had to take down the paint scheme tables because people started to copy the information directly from my pages and present it as their own. I will not publish anything until these sites exist.

Meanwhile, I will try to find another way of distributing the paint scheme tables that prevents direct copying of my work without permission.

My 2015 paint schemes for BR15 and CWS15 mods are available from now on from the DOWNLOADS page: http://nr2k3.weebly.com/downloads.html

Who would have been the 2015 champion with different scoring systems? The image is now updated on scoring page.

Created a new page with paint scheme tables for all three main NASCAR series. Click on numbers to download corresponding paint scheme.  Missing paint schemes are shown in red or yellow.

A script for updating driver ratings is available from the new page: RATINGS. Also, at the end of this page you will find ratings for all races of 2015 season. Back up your car files before using it and enjoy the racing!

I updated the scoring page to calculate the Sprint Cup Series 2014 points exactly the same way as Nascar calculates the points. V8 supercar series 2014 scoring system is available. I have also added the script that calculates the single car team points (think of Nationwide #54 vs. #22 battle).

The track count on the tracks page has increased to 838.
