C-MAIN (If Needed)

The 15th fastest car in qualifying, and on back, that did not transfer through the heat races will line up straight-up in the C-Main.  10 laps. Top-4 finishers will start in the last two rows of the semi-feature based on their finishing order in the C-Main.

SEMI-FEATURE:

Cars that did not transfer through the heat races will line up straight-up in the semi-feature event based on their qualifying times.  12 laps. Finishers 1-6 earn a spot in the feature event.

FEATURE:

50 laps. 22 starting cars (not including earned provisionals). Starting positions determined by qualifying time, 6 fastest at the front, with the 6 fastest qualifiers who transferred through their heat races inverted by their qualifying time in the first three rows, positions 1-6.  The fastest car starts 6th, the second fastest car 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 qualifying time, from fastest to slowest, followed by the balance of the field based on qualifying time.
