Should have a b-main this time around.

seems like there will most likely be a B-main being the only TQ race this weekend and the added money..does anyone know the format if there is a B-main, as far as how they determine who runs it and who doesnt with two heat races and if they get qualifying time back. if everyone makes the feature then is the heat races optional since the feature lineup is determined from qualifying. i couldnt find it on their website.

Nick,

We will have 2 sets of heat races as normal. The second set of heats will be transfer heats. The number that transfer from each heat will be determined by the car count. If there is a B-main, you do get your qualifying time back. All B-main cars do start behind transfer cars in the feature. Let me know if you have any other questions.
