– 3 trophies up for grabs to the top 3 finishers at end of season
and a $20 iracing gift card for the 4th place finisher.

We will run the complete Nascar Cup schedule 39 races. 36 points paying races.
There will be 4 drop weeks in the Regular season leading up to the playoffs.
No drop weeks during playoffs
Must compete in 22 regular season points paying races up to playoffs to be eligible for playoffs
(All Star Race, Colliseum and Duals Do Not Count)
Any driver not meeting the minimum race limit of 22 will not be eligible for a playoff berth.
Any driver competing in 28 regular season races this season will receive a CHARTER for next season guaranteeing
a starting spot in all races next season
Playoffs will be determind just like Nascar – (The NASCAR Cup Series version of the playoff system
includes sixteen drivers that compete for the championship in the final ten races of the Cup Series.
The first nine races are divided into three rounds, with four participants being eliminated after each round.)
A win does not automatically advance you to the next round – It’s strictly on points.

Because we will not have Stage points all bonus points will follow playoff drivers from regular season
thru the first round of the playoffs. So bonus points could be a big factor in the playoffs.

Bonus points will carry over thru the first rounds of the playoffs 16 driver. When we get to the round of 12 no
bonus points will carry over – Each round the playoff points will be reset and incremented by 1000 so round of 16 3000
Round of 12 4000 round of 8 5000 points – Bonus points can be accumulated in those 3 rounds but will not carry over from round to round.
When field is set to final 4 – drivers will be reset to 6000 This is just to clarify who the final 4 are.
The highest finishing position of the final 4 @ Phoenix will be crowned champion. (Will have nothing to do with points)

2 bonus Points for no incidents must complete 90% of race.
1 bonus point for a pole.
2 bonus point for a win.
1 Bonus point for leading a lap.
3 Bonus points for most positions gained (Can not be in top 16 in points)
Minus -2 point for every 4 incidents – 17 Incident limit races.

Darlington Throwback Race Sept 5th – Show up with a throwback paint scheme recieve 2 bonus points.

All tracks will be 17 incident Limited 12 Incident Drive Thru Except those listed below.

Bristol Ashpalt, Martinsville 19 Incident limit 14 Drive thru
Bristol Dirt 19 Incident limit No Drive Thru
All road Courses 18 incident limit no Drive thru
Daytona, Talladega 18 incidents DQ No Drive Thru

Start and park rule. Points are set on a percentage of laps complete.
Driver must complete 90% of race to receive all points
Finishing 20% of race will only get you 20% of your points.
So if you wreck and have damage wait out the repair and keep digging.

All races will have 2 green white checkers.

The All Star race and the coliseum will not pay points.

Darlington Throwback Race Sept 5th – Show up with a throwback paint scheme recieve 2 bonus points.

and Revved Up. Which are the core of Multi league (There will be no exception to this rule)

SOME THING NEW FOR THIS SEASON

WE ARE MOVING TO Thursday NIGHTS……

Scott Patten and Ken Huber will be doing the broadcasts again this season
make sure you give them a shout out and let them know how much they are apprciated.
The broadcasts really take a lot of time and effort and they do it for free.
Scott and Ken you guys are amazing !!!!!!!!

Kim Quick will be going up in the race Control booth and managing the races from there
were we can try to manage rule infractions on track and the pits in real time.
We will be monitoring pit road and restarts much closer this season.

James Hearns will be the in race admin

All cars a lap or more down when we get to 10 laps to the finish must
let lead lap cars thru unless you are battling for a position with another lapped car.

All cars in the series must run your assigned league #
If you show up with a paint with a painted on # different
from your Multi League # you will not be allowed to run.
Drivers check your paints this is on you.

SOME THING NEW FOR THIS SEASON

Starts and restarts – We will not be using iRacings starts zones. All starts of race will be on green.
All restarts will be on the leader. At tracks with the Geico signs painted on the inside and out
of the track the leader has to have the nose in the box before he can go. tracks with out the geico signs
Then the pace car must be completly behind pit wall before the leader can go.
On tracks that it is allowed to go below the white line you have to wait 1 complete lap after the start or
restart before drivers will be allowed below the white line.

Pit road all the way to the right as soon as possible entering pit road
5 point penalty for not being all the way to the right.
3 stalls in to your pit and three stalls out
(Thats the 2 before your pit and your pit box 3 total – Same leaving except the 2 after)
Penalty up to 5 boxs total – 5 points. Any thing more 10 points and a drive thru.
If you drive thru more than 5 and then leave the server I will access the drive thru at the next race.
No passing entering pit road once you pass the yellow cones – you can pass exiting pit road.

Top 10 cars under pacing coming to the Green must be no more than a 1/2 car length between.
Every car behind that no more than 1 car length separation. I will try once to warn you but because
there is a lot going on at the starts and restarts you may or may not get the warning – drivers its up to you to
have the correct space to the vehicle in front of you. The penalty will be a drive thru.

When pitting if you have another car within 3 seconds behind you then you must call out your pitting
when you are half way down the back stretch. Call it out twice if you can and be on All Teams radio.
Failure to do so – that does not cause a incident you will recieve a drive thru. If it causes a incident you
will be removed from the race and fined a 30 point penalty. If you call out your pitting and you get wrecked
by a car behind you then the driver of the car behind causing the crash will be removed from the race penalized
20 points and set out the next race.
