There are no heat races at Turkey Night, only last chance qualifiers/semi-features. The top-10 are locked into the feature through qualifying and, thus, do not compete in the prelim races that night. The full points format occurs only when all cars get a chance to compete in the prelim events to earn the same amount of points.

All cars get a chance to make a run during qualifying, so there are points for that. 6 pts. for 1st, 5 for 2nd, 4 for 3rd, 3 for 4th, 2 for 5th and 1 for 6th. Then feature points, with 70 going to the winner. A max of 76 can be earned that night.

The traditional format will be used at Bakersfield with 6 points max for the fast qualifier, 8 pts. max for the heat winner and 70 pts. for the feature winner.
