All eligible drivers must enter by the entry deadline to be considered for one of the twenty (20) starting positions. Late entries will not be accepted, no exception. If more than the starting field of twenty (20) entries is filed, the criteria for being eligible for one of the twenty (20) starting positions will be as follows: Drivers ranking with the most number of NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and/or NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour Championships will be eligible for one of the twenty (20) starting positions until all positions are filled. If positions still remain available, the next positions(s), until the field is filled, will be available to the driver(s) who have the most wins, ranking from most to least, from the 2005 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and/or NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour season through the Entry Deadline Date of the Official Entry Blank of July 5, In the event of a tie among driver(s) based on any of the above mentioned criteria, the tie will be broken based on most number of highest positions in final NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and/or NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour Final Championship point standings (for example: most number of first place, most number of second place, most number of third place, etc.) until tie is broken. If the tie is still not satisfied then the tie will be broken based on most number of highest finishing positions from the 2005 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and/or NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour Championship events through the Entry Deadline Date of this Official Entry Blank of July 5, The 2015 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Rookie of the Year and the 2015 NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour Rookie of the Year will have a protected starting position. Once the above criteria has been met, if any of the twenty (20) starting positions remain available, or all of the teams are not present to compete after submitting the Official Entry Blank, NASCAR may allow additional teams to compete based on most number of second (2nd) place finishes then third (3rd) place finishes and so on in NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and/or NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour Final Championship Point Standings first then number of highest finishing positions from the 2005 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and/or NASCAR Whelen Southern Modified Tour Championship events through the Entry Deadline Date of this Official Entry Blank of July 5, 2016 until the field is filled.

The team must make this declaration to the Series Director by July 8, If the team elects to utilize a second car then an additional Inspection Fee must be paid. A backup/secondary car cannot be used after the declaration unless the car has been damaged beyond repair and/or at the discretion of the Series Director. Teams who declared to the Series Director that they will utilize two cars (one for the Special Event and one for the Championship Event) must further declare which car will be utilized for the Special Event by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 14, A random draw will be held to determine starting positions for the Special Event. The order of the draw will be based off the driver s criteria to enter the Special Event.

The pole position will be awarded to the driver who draws the number one (1) position. The driver must be present to draw for his/her own starting positions. No substitutes. RACE PROCEDURE The Special Event will be a thirty-five (35) lap race split into two (2) segments with a mandatory caution displayed at lap twenty (20), unless the caution is already out at lap twenty (20). The overall thirty-five (35) lap event will have a thirty (30) minute time limit. All caution laps will count except the period after lap twenty (20) until the race is restarted. Pit road will be closed during the entire event. When the yellow is displayed at lap twenty (20) the race will be restarted by the car s last completed green flag lap except for those cars involved in a random number selection that will determine the number of cars to be inverted for the restart. The procedure for determining the random number will be determined and announced to the teams during the Driver/Crew Chief Meeting. Any car finishing the first segment of the race in positions one (1) through eight (8) will be subject to the inversion. Four (4), five (5), six (6), seven (7) or eight (8) will be inverted.
