What about Car Owners.
USAC is increasing the overall point’s funds by 35% to accommodate the new Driving Championship. The Owners / Driver split of our points funds has been 50/50, and will maintain that ratio in 2010. This means that there is more money in the fund for all, equally.
For 2010, Owners will continue to earn points funds for the Top 10 overall in each Division. For the Sprint and Midget series only, we will be adding Top 3 points fund money for the points leaders in each Dirt Only and Pavement Only categories, to recognize performance for car owners who may have only a single focus. A car owner could easily (and most likely) earn points money in both the Top 10 and Top 3 pavement / dirt funds. Seperately, an owners point fund for the top 3 has been established for the Sprint Series Eastern Tour and Top 3 for Indiana Sprint Week.
