What to Expect Friday Night

A new group of 35 drivers will be in action Friday night during the second night of preliminary racing at IMS. 

Friday night features a full program of racing consisting of 8-lap heat races and 10-lap qualifying races, followed by a 10-lap C-main (if needed), a 12-lap semi-feature and a 30-lap feature race paying $5,000-to-win. 

Points for the heats will be accumulated by finishing position and total number of positions advanced.  Cars will be positioned into qualifying races based on the passing points accumulated in heats.

Total points from the heat races and qualifying races will be added to set the starting lineups for the prelim main events on Thursday and Friday.  The top-16 overall in accumulated points will start straight-up in the first eight rows of Friday’s A-Main feature.

The top-three feature finishers on each night’s prelim will be locked into Saturday’s feature. Prelim night finishers 4-17 will be slated for one of two semi-features on Saturday night.  Prelim night feature finishers 18-22, plus finishers 7-15 in the semi-feature, will start in Saturday’s C-Main.  Prelim night semi-feature finishers 16th on back will start in Saturday’s D-Main.
