The top six in points will be fully inverted and run a six (6) lap dash. The finishing order will determine the first three rows in the A Main.

C-MAIN:
If C-Main is run, the 14 fastest cars in qualifying that did not transfer through the heat races will line up straight-up in the semi-feature event. 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. Top-4 finishers in the C-Main will start in the last two rows of the semi-feature based on their finishing order in the C-Main.
SEMI-FEATURE EVENT:
The semi-feature will include all the remaining cars that have not transferred to the feature. The semi lineup will be based on total points including Saturday night’s points. The odd point cars will be lined straight up according to their points for the first B Main. The even point cars will be lined straight up according to their points for the second B Main. Each B Main will be twelve (12) Laps. The top five (5) cars from each B Main will transfer to the A Main.
FEATURE EVENT:
The A Main will have a total of twenty-four (24) cars (not including earned provisionals). The lineup for the first three (3) rows will be determined by the Super Six Dash. Rows 4 - 7 will be the cars that transferred from the Heats and they will lineup according to their total points. Rows 8 – 12 will be the cars that transferred from the B Mains and they will line up according to their total points. The A Main will be Forty (40) laps. The Oval Nationals will be governed by the Official Rule Book for the USAC National and CRA Series. Once the first car is pushed off for the A Main, a 50-minute clock will begin. Once the clock reaches 50 minutes, the next yellow flag will produce a red flag to allow fuel only to be added to the cars. Any provisional starts in the Preliminary Mains on Thursday and Friday night’s program, any points earned will only be awarded for USAC National standings and USAC/CRA standings. No Oval National points will be awarded for a Provisional start. You must earn your way into Thursday and Friday nights Main to earn Oval National points for your starting position on Saturday Night.
