PERRIS, Calif. — The format has been set for the 25th running of the Heimark/Anheuser Busch Budweiser Oval Nationals presented by All Coast Construction on Nov. 4-6 at California’s Perris Auto Speedway.
The three-night showdown for both the USAC AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship and the AMSOIL USAC CRA Sprint Car Series will have distinct formats for the two preliminary nights as well as the championship night finale.
On Thursday and Friday, single car qualifying will lead into 10-lap heat races, a 12-lap semi-feature and a 30-lap feature, the normal format utilized for the majority of series events throughout the year.
Total points will be accumulated throughout Thursday and Friday night’s events, the top-six of which will be locked into Saturday night’s 40-lap feature event.
Prior to the feature, those same six will take part in a special six-car, six-lap dash in which the finishing order will determine the starting positions for the first three rows of Saturday night’s $10,000-to-win feature.
Single car qualifying, heat races and a semi-feature will be held solely for all cars not in the top-six of the points during Saturday’s program. Those transfers will slot in behind the top-six in the 25th Oval Nationals feature event.
Thursday and Friday will be full, points-paying events for the USAC’s National and CRA Sprint Car series. Saturday will be feature points only.
