Now if you were awarded say an additional 25 points for having the top score, I think it would motivate players to keep shooting for that top spot. Thoughts?

I don't think so. Here's why i am not going to bother to try and take it back: As you mentioned, as of now i am in 2nd. The game i got 72k on i ran into an asteroid. I'm sure i could have gotten to the "final showdown" area and id be somewhere around 77-78k but that is speculation. Because of this i do not want to waste the time trying to get that score or better for one position.
I would personally try to beat your score just to beat it and that is all the motivation/incentive i would need. It would be pretty unfair (i.e. as an example) to have someone top in all 30 games and it so happens to beat the team behind them by 1 point.
First is first, second is second. Whether you win a game by 1 or 100 - a win is a win and should have no added benefits other than being a win (or a first place finish).
