Bryan Hulbert – WHEATLAND, Mo. (August 11, 2023) With the Jesse Hockett/Daniel McMillin Memorial continuing to grow, the time has come to split the preliminary nights.
“This has been requested by teams and the track for the past few years. Last year, we updated the format with our qualifying instead of qualifiers to see if that would help before we started splitting the preliminary nights up, and it was still just too much per night on everyone,” explained ASCS Owner/Director, Terry Mattox.
The 2023 event takes place September 14-16. Entry for the $ 10,000-to-win event is free for ASCS competitors. Teams can enter at https://www.myracepass.com/series/1846/registrations. Draw is $20 at the event. When entering, you are requesting a night to run. You may be moved based on event numbers to keep the nights as even as possible. A driver may not switch nights once they pull onto the track to Qualify.
With the change, teams will be able to Hot Lap, then Qualify, whereas last year, they were done at the same time.
Hockett/McMillin ASCS Format:
Preliminary nights will follow ASCS National Format, with teams drawing for their Qualifying Group. Max number of cars on track per Qualifying session is five.
The breakdown of the ASCS National Format is online at http://www.ascsracing.com.
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.
Qualifying and Heat Race Points are awarded: 30, 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, 3
B-Feature Points, starting with the first non-qualifier, are awarded: 87, 86, 85, 84, 83, 82, 81, etc.
A-Feature points are awarded: 150, 142, 135, 130, 125, 122, 119, 116, 113, 110, 108, 106, 104, 102, 100, 98, 96, 94, 92, 90, 89, 88
Following the completion of Friday’s program, event points will be totaled with the Top 8 locked in, straight up, into Saturday’s A-Feature. All other drivers will be lined up into four Last Chance Qualifiers on Saturday. Any ties in event points will be broken by the driver with the faster qualifying time.
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.
Those not transferring will lineup into B-Features, straight up by their LCQ finish. Two B-Features, will take the top three from each. Three B-Features, will take the top two from each.
**ASCS National Driver Point, Regional Attendance, and Promoter’s Provisionals will be allowed, but will not award any points for the A-Feature. Points will be calculated from the position earned prior to the Provisional.
