Those sanctions not sending representatives this year to the Brodix Tournament of Champions, which utilizes a common set or technical rules including use of the Brodix ASCS spec head, include ASCS Mid-Atlantic Region, ASCS Rocky Mountain Region, ASCS Sooner Region, ASCS Southern Tour, Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS), United Racing Company (URC), and the Northern Lights Dirt Series (NLDS).
Five entrants were ineligible to receive official invitations as the drivers either didn’t compete in enough of their sanctions’ races by the end of July 25th, or they were too far down in their sanctions’ points by that date to receive invites. Those drivers that will get their entry fees refunded are Brian Brown, Frankie Heimbaugh, Mike Houseman, Jr., Bryan Howland, and Ryan Roberts.
The format for the Sunday show will include group time trials, six inverted heats utilizing passing points, three B-Mains, and the 30-lap, 30-car, $5,000-to-win, $300-to-start Brodix Tournament of Champions. Eighteen drivers will advance to the “A” from the heats, and two drivers will do the same from each “B”. Six provisionals will complete the 30-car Tournament field, with preference given to the point leaders from those sanctions that don’t have any representation in the feature after the qualifying events.
Tournament team points will be awarded on a basis of 30 points to the winner, with a one point drop per position. The sanctioning affiliate accumulating the most points will be declared the Brodix Tournament Team Champion. The host Knoxville Raceway is the defending team champion, while Team ASCoT’s Gary Wright is the defending driver champion.
