Pretty easy format to figure out.
Top 20 in points locked into A-mains 21st on back to the B-mains. Top four from B-main to tail of A-main.
Top twelve in points inverted for the A-mains. 13 to 20 positions line up by points.

Sprint top twelve going into tonight's finale
Thorson, T-Mez, KTJ, Bacon, Leary, Seavey, Swanson, Windom, Grant, Ballot, Stockton, Davis Jr.
J-Mac six points behind Davis for twelve spot. Right now front row of A-main would be Davis Jr and Stockton.

Midget top twelve
Golobic, Kofoid, Windom, Moles, Pursley, T-Mez, Seavey, McIntosh, J-Mac, KTJ, Crum, Randell.
Bacon lost an engine in midget Friday night and won't be competing in the midgets tonight.

Why are the top 12 in points inverted? Seems kind of hokey.

been trying to figure it out but the track it reminds me most of is. KAMP or Boswell or whatever it's called now. WITHOUT the dust.

Does anyone think that the unique race format did anything for the show?

I think it would have worked better if they had more cars.On Sunday in the heats you had 4 cars racing for more points and 4 cars racing for less

First off, I usually always support having an invert at a racing event. Way too many race nights ruined by putting the fastest car on the pole and then him running away from the competition. However, for a three day show, it seems that the last race of the weekend should be straight up on points earned. If not, it opens up a lot of people trying to game the system to get a better spot in the invert.

Overall, I hope that this weekend was a success. Hopefully, I can get a kitchen pass next year to attend this race.
