Here is the basic event structure for all three divisions for the LoneStar Armadillo Nationals:

 

-This is not a ‘split field’ qualifying format. Meaning, all cars race all three days. There is no penalty or added cost whatsoever for racing both Thursday and Friday night. We encourage drivers to race all three nights. Your highest point total on Thursday OR Friday will be used to determine your Saturday night lineup...so race both nights for a two shots at a great point's total! Except, the top 4 finishers in the Thu/Fri A-features do not get any points, and will automatically lock in the front four rows of the Saturday night feature. The next six positions in the Saturday finale will be locked in by the top six drivers in points (from Thursday or Friday points). The balance of the cars in each division will go directly into two B-features (and possibly C-feature). A total of 10 cars total will advance from the B-features to the A-feature. Nightly heat races will be draw for position with finishing position and passing points being awarded.
