2024 Knoxville Nationals Thursday Results At Knoxville Raceway

Thursday lineups, results and updates from the 2024 Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway.

The most prestigious event in Sprint Car racing continues Thursday night with the second of two qualifying nights for the 2024 Knoxville Nationals at Knoxville Raceway. 

Throughout the night, we'll have lineups, results and updates posted in this blog-style notebook.

Knoxville Nationals Qualifying Format

Behind every Nationals title run is a productive qualifying night. From the start of time trials, drivers are awarded for points each time they’re on the track.

In time trials, 200 points are awarded for fast time with a two-point reduction for every position down the running order (200-198-196-etc.).

Only the top-50 qualifiers each night make the 10-car heats. The remaining drives are relegated to the Last Chance Heats, if needed, where the top-eight finishers tag the rear of the C-main. If the night’s car count is less than 50, there are no Last Chance Heats.

Points for Last Chance Heats: 50 points to the winner with a three-point reduction per position thereafter.

Heat races are inverted by eight with the top-four finishers only transferring to the night’s 25-lap A-main. Points for heat races go like this: 100-97-94-91-88-85-82-79-76-73. Those finishing fifth through eighth in the heats go to the B-main, with ninth and 10th to the C-main.

In the C-main, the top-four finishers transfer to the rear of the B-main. The fifth-place C-main finisher receives 92 points, while sixth receives 60 points.

As for the B-main, the top-four advance to A-main. Drivers who fall short receive the following points: 142 points for fifth and a two-point reduction per position thereafter.

The 25-lap A-main is inverted by eight and rewards the same amount of points as time trials: 200-198-196-194-192-etc. The top 16 in combined points from Wednesday and Thursday are locked into Saturday’s championship event.

Those 17th through 26th in points are the first 10 starters in Saturday’s B-main. The rest of the field is then left scrambling to make the main event through Friday’s FVP Hard Knox Qualifying Night.
