hmm.. not sure, I think it's 5 points for the pole. You might want to
post this on rec.autos.sports.nascar if you haven't already.
ujj
NASCAR awards 5 points for leading a lap during a race, and 5 points for
leading the most laps during a race. However, no points are awarded for
winning the pole.
UNOCAL posts $7,600 dollars before the start of every race. The amount
builds cumulatively until a driver wins the race from the pole.

Hope this helps.
Go #24! Go #18!
There are no bonus points for sitting on the pole. You get 5 bonus
points for leading a lap and 5 more if you lead the most laps.
The UNICAL 76 bonus is given to the driver who wins the race from
the pole and goes up $7,600 dollars each race.
Hope this helps.

The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away.
There are no points awarded in NASCAR for winning the pole. Busch beer
recognizes each pole winner with a plaque and cash and a chance to compete in
the next Busch Clash ( A race held prior to the Daytona 500...sort of a warm
up). The UNOCAL bonus from UNOCAL 76 is what else.....$7600. If the pole winner should also win the race he will get this $7600, if not, the pot is carried over to the
next race where another $7600 will be added and so on.
