Its for winning 11th and accepting his prize bonus. NASCAR did not do this under the Winston Cup format, because 11th didn't mean anything special, just money. But with the Chase format, the driver who finishes 11th in points gets a million dollar bonus and on stage to New York. NASCAR did this basically for the people who was out of the Chase, so they had something to contend for atleast. And NASCAR has awarded the 11th place driver since the Chase began. Under the Winston Cup format, I would think the way you are thinking, but under the current format, I think the 11th place winner deserves a trip to New York. My opinion.
