USAC AMSOIL SPRINT CAR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT

Formats may be altered from base formats listed here at the discretion of the chief steward.  If Thursday’s or Friday’s events are canceled, Saturday night’s event will revert to the standard format.

 

QUALIFICATIONS

No qualifications will be held.

 

POINTS

Over the first two nights, total points will be calculated, which will automatically “lock-in” the top-five in total combined points into Saturday night’s feature event.

 

QUALIFYING RACES

3 qualifying races, each 8 laps in length, lined up “straight-up” based on points from the first two nights.  The lineup will snake with 6th overall in points on the pole of the first qualifying race, 7th in points on the pole for the second qualifying race and 8th in points on the pole for the third qualifying race, and so on.  9th overall in points starts second in the first qualifying race, 10th in points starts second in the second qualifying race and 11th in points starts second in the third qualifying race.

The top-4 finishers from each qualifying race will transfer to the feature.  Those finishing 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th in each qualifying race will be placed into the semi-feature.  Those finishing 10th on back in each qualifying race will be placed into a 10-lap C-Main, if needed, where the top-3 finishers will transfer to the semi-feature and occupy the final three starting positions of that race.

The winning drivers of each qualifying race will transfer into a dash with the top-5 locked in drivers.

 

DASH

Starting positions for the dash will be drawn for with the qualifying race winners selecting first when the stop for their winner’s interview, followed by the lock-ins.  The finish of the 8-car, 6-lap dash will determine the first 4 rows of the feature.

 

C-MAIN

Those finishing 10th on back in each qualifying race will be placed into a 10-lap C-Main, if needed, where the top-3 finishers will transfer to the semi-feature and occupy the final three starting positions of that race.

 

SEMI-FEATURE:

Those finishing 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th in each qualifying race will be placed into the semi-feature.  The top-5 finishers from the 12-lap semi-feature will transfer into the night’s feature, filling the final five positions in the feature starting lineup.

 

FEATURE:

The feature will consist of 22 cars (not counting up to two provisionals) and 35 laps, as determined by the finishing order of the dash – 1st place finisher starts 1st, 2nd place finisher starts 2nd and so on.
