I like it the way it is, regardless of all the complaints about it.
Ryan Newman is a special case, as he has won almost all of his races on fuel (and people are getting suspicious about his mileage game).
As for the 5 pts for leading a lap, it ensures that the race leader has competition for the top spot. Yes, teams stay out one lap to get the 5 pts, but they risk running out of gas/getting caught on a diff pit strategy. Even so, it's just five points and it doesnt necessarily go to the most point hungry person.
As for not awarding points to drivers 31-43, I think that it can be fixed in a different way.
Lets NOT award points to drivers who finish x # of laps behind the leader. The more time they spend fixing the car (in the garage), the more laps they will be behind.
By not awarding pts at all, you are robbing pts from drivers in races without much cautions and most drivers on the lead lap.
