RULES & PROCEDURES

This event is sanctioned by the USRA and all USRA rules apply. USRA national points awarded each night with 100 bonus points awarded for the event to each driver. Draw for heat line-ups. Passing points each night determine feature lineups. The top 6 each night are locked into Saturday’s A-Main. RACEceivers and transponders required and available for rent or purchase at the track.

The Lucas Oil Speedway has a top-shelf staff, but all safety personnel are there for the safety of the drivers and unable to determine rough driving or other judgement calls. Track officials will be in place at each corner at a minimum to help make calls. The flagman has a black flag and will use it.

The Summit USRA Nationals brings the best tech inspectors in the country. When you leave pre-tech, they will inform you of items, if any, that need to be fixed. If you have questions about any rule(s), stop in the tech barn and ask questions questions? Darlo Mulder will answer his phone most of the time so feel free to call or text him at (515) 835-9946.

The pits will be open to the public all day every day until the pits are cleared at 3 p.m. Monday is reserved for parking and on-track practice from 6-9 p.m. On Tuesday, the pits will be open for parking and practice for any driver that is not qualified for one of the Summit Shootouts. Practice will take place before, during and after the Summit Shootout races. There will be payouts each night.

Wednesday will be the first night of qualifying for Modifieds, Stock Cars and B-Mods with heat races and A-main(s). All drivers will race in an A-main each night on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Each A-main will have up to 30 starters (for instance, if there are 90 cars there will be three A-mains for that class). Up to 15 drivers with the most passing points will draw for starting spots in the A-main for their class, while the remaining cars in passing points will line up behind those starters The top two (2) finishers in each A-main will be locked into Saturday’s A-main for that class, so a total of six (6) or eight (8) cars in each class will be locked into the A-main for Saturday.

After Friday, Modified, Stock Car and B-Mod racers who are not qualified for the A-main will use points earned from their best two nights of racing to line them up for Saturday night’s “alphabet soup” of feature races. Points will be based on your two best nights of racing including heat races and A-main(s), giving drivers that cannot possibly make each night the chance to come later in the week. The Summit Shootout for USRA Hobby Stocks will be on Wednesday with qualifying heats races and A-main(s) on Thursday and Friday. USRA Tuners will join the party on Friday and Saturday.

USRA License Required: Remember, you must have a USRA Competitor License in order to partake in the Summit USRA Nationals. Temp licenses will not be available. Save yourself some time and have that done before the event. Register for your USRA license at usraracing.com/register.

Bonus Points: Each driver in attendance at the Summit USRA Nationals will be awarded 100 bonus USRA national points in their class. Other racetracks may race on this weekend, but they cannot award USRA track, regional and/or national points to Modifieds, Stock Cars, B-Mods, Hobby Stocks and Tuners. From October 2-7, the Summit USRA Nationals at the Lucas Oil speedway is the only way to earn USRA national points.
