USAC NOS ENERGY DRINK MIDGET NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT

Formats may be altered from base formats listed here at the discretion of the chief steward.

**Feature points only

QUALIFICATIONS

No qualifying.

HEAT RACES

Heat races are 8 laps in length. Starting 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, throughout the field.  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:

If 4 Heats: Top-4 finishers transfer to the feature.

If 3 Heats: Top-5 finishers transfer to the feature.

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.

3 Heats: Cars seeded 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 will start in inverted order. Cars seeded 19, 22, and so on will start behind invert.

HEAT #2:

4 Heats: Cars seeded 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22 will start in inverted order. Cars seeded 26, 30, and so on will start behind invert.

3 Heats: Cars seeded 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17 will start in inverted order. Cars seeded 20, 23, and so on will start behind invert.

HEAT #3:

4 Heats: Cars seeded 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23 will start in inverted order. Cars seeded 27, 31, and so on will start behind invert.

3 Heats: Cars seeded 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 will start in inverted order. Cars seeded 21, 24, and so on will start behind invert.

HEAT #4:

Cars seeded 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 will start in inverted order. Cars qualifying 28, 32 and so on will start behind invert.

SEMI-FEATURE: (If needed)

Cars that did not transfer through the heat races will line up straight-up in the semi-feature event based on their seed.  12 laps.

If 4 Heats: Finishers 1-6 earn a spot in the feature event.

If 3 Heats: Finishers 1-7 earn a spot in the feature event.

FEATURE:

25 laps. 22 starting cars (not including earned provisionals). Starting positions determined by seed, with the top-6 seeds who transferred through their heat races inverted by their overall seed in the first three rows, positions 1-6.  The top-seed starts 6th, the second seeded 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 seed, from top to bottom, followed by the balance of the field based on seed.
