A heat will run a 15-lap qualifier every 15 minutes. Drivers can earn points in two ways. First, they will be awarded points based on their finish in the heat. First place will earn 10 points, second place will get 9 points, etc. Second, drivers will earn an additional point for each place they overtake in their heat. Current owners' points will be used to break any tiebreakers.
