ROUNDS

21. Contender Round: The 12 drivers will battle at Kansas Speedway for the 8 spots available in the next round (Eliminator). A win at Kansas equals advancement into the next round. The rest of the field of 8 will be determined by order of points scored in the race. After this round, each advancing driver will be reset to 3,000 points.


Tiebreaker: If position comes down to a tiebreaker, qualifying position for the Contender Round will determine the winner.

22. Eliminator Round: The 8 drivers will battle at Texas Motor Speedway for the four spots available in the Strictly Stock Championship. A win guarantees advancement into championship round. The rest of the field of four will be determined by order of points scored in the race. After this round, each advancing driver will be reset to 4,000 points.

Tiebreaker: If any position comes down to a tiebreaker, the finishes of the Contender and Eliminator Round will decide. If two drivers have the exact same finishes, the tiebreaker then goes to the driver who scored the best qualifying time in the Eliminator Round.

*Contender and Eliminator Round locations will be determined at the start of Season 2.

ALL AMERICAN CLASSIC NASCAR STRICTLY STOCK CHAMPIONSHIP

23. The final race is all about order of finish. No bonus points for laps led, etc. The four finalists will start the race tied, and the highest finisher among them at Charlotte Motor Speedway will win the All American Classic NASCAR Strictly Stock Championship.

Points note: Bonus points for laps led will still be awarded in the Contender and Eliminator Rounds. However, in the NASCAR Strictly Stock Championship, the four drivers will start the race tied and there will be no bonus points for laps led, etc.

24. Drivers who don't advance to the next round will have their point totals reset to the Chase-start base of 2,000 (with any regular-season wins bonus points), plus the additional points they've earned during the Chase. This is the battle for 5th place. A driver eliminated in the opening Contender Round, for example, can still finish ranked higher than someone who just misses the Championship Round cut.

E. ADMINISTRATIVE RULES
