Event Points are awarded each time a driver takes a competitive green flag. These points are used to set the field for Saturday and are not used to set lineups during a preliminary night. A driver may not switch nights once they pull onto the track to Qualify.<\/p>\n
Qualifying and Heat Race Points are awarded: 30, 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 3<\/p>\n

Lineups will be staggered by points (9th to the pole of LCQ 1, 10 to the pole of LCQ 2, etc). Top 2 finishes in each LCQ will advance to the A-Feature. Winners of LCQ 1 starts 9th, winner of LCQ 2 will start 10th, and so on.<\/p>\n
