Format
The Knoxville Nationals encompasses a four-day format unmatched
in all of dirt track racing. The prestige of winning the event far
outweighs the generous purse that exceeds $1,000,000. With points meaning everything, and every wheel turned on the track meaning
points, there is no time for a break at the "Granddaddy of them all".
Steve Kinser has stood atop the podium an unprecedented twelve
times, and owner Karl Kinser has graced victory lane an amazing
fourteen times with three different drivers.
Wednesday and Thursday
Order of Events: Hot laps, Qualifications, Last Chance Heats,
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 are totally inverted (10). This sets up the best racing of the
week. 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.
Ties in points go to the quicker timer.
A perfect score (quick time, heat win, feature win) is 500.
The top 50 in points from Wed. and Thurs. are locked in to
Saturday's program, however there is more racing to do on Friday.
Friday:
Friday Events: C Scramble, B Scramble, A Scramble, Semi-Feature #1, Semi-Feature #2, Non Qualifier A Feature.
MyRaceLife.com World Challenge.
MyRaceLife.com World Challenge - This is an international invitational event.
The lineup is inverted according to points accrued on Wednesday and
Thursday. It has no bearing on Saturday's lineups.
The final ten spots for the C, plus the D and E for Saturday will be determined by the Friday night show. Two semi-features will be run with the top twelve in each advancing to the Non-qualifiers main event. The winner starts 11th in Saturday's C, with the rest of the drivers filling Saturday's C, D, and E.
Points on Friday's scramble for the Pole will be added to a drivers points from Wednesday and Thursday night to detemine their starting position on Saturday night. Drivers are locked into the top ten in the A, B or C.
If there is a tie in points after the Scramble for the Pole, the car with the most points in the scramble is placed first. If there is a tie on cars not entered in the scramble, the tie will be broken by the quickest time from the driver's qualifying night.
Pole Scramble (to 10th Position)
20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-4-2 (Plus one point per position advanced.)
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 Knoxville 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).
