USAC AMSOIL SPRINT CAR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT
Formats may be altered from base formats listed here at the discretion of the chief steward.
QUALIFICATIONS:
Qualifying is two (2) laps to be run consecutively with the fastest lap counting as the official qualifying time.
In the event of over 36 cars in competition with a standard format, a split-qualifying format would be in effect.

From there, a standard format is followed with the overall qualifying seeds being meshed together, with the group including fast time taking all odd-numbered positions.
HEAT RACES:

For the 4th row on back, cars will line up straight up, based on their qualifying times.
