Cornhusker Classic Qualifying Procedure & Race Information
2016 Cornhusker Classic Qualifying Procedure & Race Information
At this year’s Cornhusker Classic we are racing only Friday, October 7 & Saturday, October 8. Stock Cars, Bragging Rights Late Models, Hobby Stocks and Compacts will run complete shows both Friday and Saturday with the top 6 from Friday’s feature locked into Saturday nights Feature.
On Friday night, the Modifieds and Sport Mods will be running double qualifying heats only (just like Super Late Models at the Silver Dollar Nationals). The top 15 drivers in points from Friday nights double qualifying heats (based on passing points) will advance to Saturday night’s A feature. The field will be filled by six or nine additionals cars added from 2 or 3 B features. If 35 cars or less in Modifieds and Sport Mods, the A feature will start 21 cars. If 36 or more cars we will start 24 in the A feature.
This means we will most likely take three cars from each of two B features or three cars from each of three B features to fill the field to 21 or 24 cars. The Modifieds and Sport Mods features will start three wide either seven rows (21 cars) or eight rows (24 cars) deep.
