44 How does the IndyCar points system work?

Finish Points       Finish Points       Finish Points               Points
 1     20            5     10            9      4    Fastest Lap in   1
 2     16            6      8           10      3    Qualifying
 3     14            7      6           11      2    Led most laps    1
 4     12            8      5           12      1

The extra points for being the fastest qualifier and leading the most
laps can both go to the same driver. For this reason you sometimes see
a driver conquering 22 points, which means, he won the race (20), got
the pole (1) and led for more laps (1). At Indianapolis, the fastest
qualifier might not be on pole position.
