Further information: List of NASCAR points scoring systems

Points are awarded to drivers and team using the current point system used in Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series, excluding the Stage and Race Winner bonus points. For the final two races in Hockenheim and Zolder, double points are awarded. In addition, the driver that gained the most positions in a race will receive bonus championship points. Should a driver competes in all 9 races between Valencia and Venray, then only the best 8 results of those 9 races were counted towards the Championship.

This inaccuracy was later rectified at Hockenheim, where the points from Franciacorta were correctly credited to di Silvestre in the post-race point standings.
  • 2 – Eric De Doncker and Jennifer Jo Cobb received 0 championship points despite being a non-starter.
