The 23nd Annual "360" Nationals will again be a 3-day format on Thursday, Friday and Saturday before the Knoxville Nationals on August 1-3, 2013. This will allow the "360" drivers and teams from across the USA and Canada to participate.
Some of these drivers will switch to "410's" for the Knoxville Championship Cup Series event on Sunday, August 4th and then the 2-day show at Southern Iowa Speedway for the 16th Annual Front Row Challenge with wings, and the 10th Annual Ultimate Challenge "without wings".
From there it's back to Knoxville Raceway for the 4-day 53rd Annual Knoxville Nationals. With over $1,000,000 in prize money this event attracts drivers and fans from across North America to Australia and New Zealand.
For race fans, it's 10-days of flatout racing, all within a 25-mile area.

Format
The 360 Nationals encompasses a three-day format. With points meaning everything, and every wheel turned on the track meaning
points, there is no time for a break.
Thursday and Friday
Order of Events: Hot laps, Qualifications, Last Chance Heats (if needed), 5 Heats, C feature, B feature, A feature.
Qualifications - 200 points are awarded for quick timer, 198 for
second quick, 196 for third, etc.
Only the top 50 qualifiers make the heats, the rest are put in the
last chance heats in which the first eight finishers will fill the back
of that night's C feature (starting in the sixth row).
Last Chance Heats (for drivers out of the top 50 in Qual.) – 50 points
awarded to the winner, 47 for 2nd, etc.
Heats - 100 points are awarded for the heat winner, points go down
by three: 97, 94, 91, 88, etc.
Heats have an invert of six. Top four finishers go to A, next four to B, last two to C.
C feature – Top two finishers go to back of the B. Third place is
worth 96 pts., 2nd is 94, etc.
B feature – The top four finishers transfer to the tail of the A. The
B awards 142 points for fifth, 140 for sixth and so on by twos.
A feature - The A feature points are the same as time trials: 200,
198, 196 etc. This explains how a driver can not make the A, but
if he timed well may have more points than someone who did make
the A.
First tie breaker is finish position in respective main event. Next tie breaker is rank in time trial. Other tie breaking criteria may be implemented if needed.
A perfect score (quick time, heat win, feature win) is 500. Cars line up for Saturday's championship straight up by points earned on their qualifying night.
Saturday:
Saturday Events: E feature, D feature, C feature, B feature, Knoxville
Nationals Championship feature.
With the exception of the B feature which takes the top four finishers
to the tail of the 360 Nationals Championship, all other features
transfer the top two finishers to the tail of the next event (if there are
scratches, there may be more taken for a particular event).
