USAC NOS ENERGY DRINK MIDGET NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT
Formats may be altered from base formats listed here at the discretion of the chief steward.
QUALIFICATIONS
No Qualifying
HEAT RACES
Heat race lineups will be based on the finishing order of Friday’s event. Friday night’s feature winner will receive the one seed with the second-place finisher getting the second seed, and so on. For Saturday, those seeds, in essence, will act as the official qualifying time.
The number one seed will line up in the 6th position of Saturday’s heat race one and the number two seed will line up in the 6th position of heat race two, and so forth. From there on, the “traditional” USAC format will take over. The top-four will transfer to the feature if four heats are held. The top-five will transfer if three heats are held.
10 laps. Top-6 cars are inverted in each heat race based on seed. For the 4th row on back, cars will line up straight up, based on their seed.
HEAT #1:
4 Heats: Cars seeded 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21 will start in inverted order. Cars seeded 25, 29, and so on will start behind invert.

SEMI-FEATURE:

FEATURE:
40 laps. 22 starting cars (not including earned provisionals). Starting positions determined by seed, top-six seeds at the front, with the top-six seeds who transferred through their heat races inverted by their seed the first three rows, positions 1-6. The top seed starts 6th, the second best seed starts 5th and so on. If a heat race winner is not in the top-6 inversion, that driver will line up directly behind the six-car invert, based on their seed, from best seed to lowest seed, followed by the balance of the field based on their seed.
