NHRA LUCAS OIL POINTS TIE-BREAKER METHODS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TIE-BREAKERS

If a tie exists (for any position) at the conclusion of the NHRA Lucas Oil National Championship series, it shall be resolved as follows. If, after step one is followed a tie still remains, additional steps are to be followed until tie is broken.

1. Review full season of scored National and scored Division event racing between tied drivers (both drivers must have received points at events being compared). Driver with most “head to head” victories wins tie.

2. Review full season of scored National and scored Division events (scored events are events at which driver received points). Driver with most rounds won wins tie.

3. Calculate average qualifying positions from scored National and scored Division events. Qualifying position to be rounded to one decimal point – for example, a driver qualifying 8, 15, and 9 would have a 10.7 average. Driver with the lowest average qualifying position wins tie.

4. Calculate average qualifying elapsed-times from scored National and scored Division events. Driver with the quickest average qualifying elapsed-time wins tie (Comp, SS, Stock is furthest under their class index –Super category qualifying ET’s under class index are voided)
