Although this is a World of Outlaw sanctioned event the USA Nationals will utilize our unique race format used in past years. On Friday night each car will have the opportunity to hot lap and qualify their car. The 18 (or 15 if only 5 heats) fastest cars will be inverted into heat races. The top two finishers in each heat race will qualify for the dash. How you finish the dash will determine the starting rows of the USA Nationals. On Saturday, the non qualified cars will be split into equal b-mains based on car count. Cars failing to transfer from the b-mains will have one last chance to make the main event in the LCQ. The top finishers (2 or 3) of the LCQ will tag the tail of the field. 24 cars will qualify for the event. The World of Outlaw provisionals are above the 24 cars that qualify through the procedure above.
The USA Nationals will utilize the current World of Outlaw rules except when pertaining to exact race format. Click HERE for rules.
Only the Hoosier LM40 will be permitted at the event.
