The ASCS National Tour has added in a combined qualifying/passing points format for the 2022. The ASCS regional series will have the option to use the traditional ASCS passing points format or the new one. Here's the new format from the ASCS website:

 

  • All teams will draw for a Qualifying Group. Number of teams drawing in will determine the number of groups with a maximum of 10 cars per group.
  • Teams will Hot Lap to help run the track in. Immediately upon the completion of the final set of Hot Laps, Qualifying will begin. On larger tracks, groups will qualify as a whole. On smaller tracks, groups will split into two sessions containing only drivers from that group.
  • Cars will get 1 warm-up lap, followed by 3 laps on the clock to determine their fastest time. Anyone missing their group will only receive one timed lap once all other groups have completed their Qualifying.
  • Points will be awarded in each group with the fastest Qualifier receiving 10 points. The scale drops by one point per position (10, 9, 8, etc.).
  • Heat Races will be lined up with a four-car inversion. Drivers timing outside the inversion will be lined up straight up by their time, starting with the fifth position.
  • Passing Points will be used during the Heat Race. Points are done from the final parade lap and will be combined with the points earned during Qualifying. Any tie in overall points will go to the earlier Heat Race. Top 16 in overall points will lock into the A-Feature. An inversion will be determined by draw of a 0 (Straight-up), 2 (top two rows), or 3 (top three rows). Draw will be done by the high point earner.
  • Remainder of the field will stagger into a pair of B-Features (17th to the pole of B1, 18th to the pole of B2, etc.). Top three from each B-Feature advance to the A-Feature with B1 setting the inside of the final three rows. B2 will set the outside of the final three rows. If only a single B-Feature is needed, the field will lineup straight up by accumulated points with the Top 6 transferring.
  • If the field exceeds 48 cars, C-Features will be added.

You know, that was a pretty harsh statement. And maybe I should be be a little ashamed of how hard I laughed at it.

I also thought this was hilarious.  I used to like ASCS, but over the years my interest in them has seriously waned.   Is Blake even running the series now that Grandpa ain't running it?
