Ed Carpenter 7th in the points.
For those of you following the running debate whether Ed will finish in the points this year higher than at least 90% of the X CCWS drivers as of today Ed is in 7th place in the points and looking good. I'm sure if he stumbles you guys will let me know. : )

Thats nice and all, but isn't the IRL points system a joke?
It seems very Nascar-like, were it rewards mediocre performance. I would like to see a return to the CART points system, 20,16,14,12 etc. Just my opionion of course.
Didn't mean to hijack the thread, Ed Carpenter is doing a good job. Foyt seems to have improved as well, but the team's performance might fall off without Larry Curry.

(then 1-pt incements to 18th)
Three points are awarded to the driver who leads the most laps in each race.
4 points between 6th and 4th, yet there are 15 between 3rd and 1st. I think it's one of the things the league has done best.
So if you get a win, it's a huge deal.YOUR FAVORITE DRIVER...
is not half bad now that I think about it.

Ed Carpenter is starting to come into his own. If both the driver and the team continue to develop, they could be a dark horse for race wins.

So it's actually a lot tighter than the already tight European point system.
Of course the CART system is nearly the same except it doesn't give points for very low positions.
