NASCAR drivers can race for only 1 championship
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) ? NASCAR's competition applications for 2011 require drivers to select which series they will race for a championship in this season.
The requirement first was reported by NASCAR.com, which spoke to driver Kenny Wallace about the application he filled out last weekend.
Wallace confirmed the requirement in a post on his Twitter page.
The move will not allow Sprint Cup drivers to race for championships in both Sprint Cup and Nationwide.
The move is not a surprise because NASCAR has openly discussed implementing ways to give its second-tier Nationwide Series its own identity.
NASCAR has declined to discuss the policy change because officials plan to make all their competition announcements over the next few weeks.Read more on NewsOK.com

NASCAR drivers in favor of simpler points system
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) ? Jimmie Johnson understands that speculation over a new points system is often viewed as NASCAR's attempt to end his five-year championship reign.

Johnson said he'll be ready to race ? and win ? under any format.
