Qualifying:
All drivers/cars will qualify for placement based on lap
timing. Each driver/car will be afforded two laps for
qualifying purposes. There will be thirty-two (32) positions
including two (2) ODS provisionals. The top twenty (20)
qualifying drivers will automatically be included in The ODS
Big One and placed in the order in which they qualified.
There will be no inversion.
One or two 25-Lap Heat
races based on qualifying times, if required, will be run to
determine the balance of the field. If only one heat race,
ten (10) cars will be added based on the heat race finish.
If two 25-Lap Heat races
are run, five (5) cars from each heat race will be added to
the field based on the heat race finish.
Provisionals:
Old Dominion Speedway reserves the right to add up to two (2)
provisionals for its drivers/teams based on their points on
the day of the race if these drivers/teams are unable to make
the field. All provisional positions will start last or next
to last. If provisionals are not required, up to two (2) cars
will be added from the heat race(s) to yield a field of
thirty-two (32) total cars. In the event of a heat race tie,
the best qualifying time will prevail.
The Race:
250 laps of excitement, featuring up to thirty-two (32) of the
best Late Model Stock cars. At Lap 125, a 15-minute break
will be taken to permit teams to pit for fuel and to make
chassis adjustments only. No parts may be changed (i.e.,
carburetor, springs, sway bar, etc.). Two sticker tires may
be put on at the half-way break.
UPDATE 10-19-04:
In an effort to reduce costs to teams racing in The Big One,
ODS has withdrawn the option to put on two sticker tires at
the half-way break. Teams may rotate tires already on
car, but will not be permitted to install other tires.
Purses:
The first place finisher for The ODS Big One race will win
$10,000.00. Purse winnings for The ODS Big One race will
include up to thirty-two (32) positions. For the heat races,
a small purse will also be paid and will be determined by ODS
track officials. The total purse winnings will be the largest
ever paid at Old Dominion Speedway.
