NHRA LUCAS OIL DRAG RACING SERIES DIVISIONAL

To accommodate those Top Alcohol Funny Car/Dragster and Top Alcohol Drag Racing Series racers who elect to concentrate activity closer to their home, separate Divisional programs are conducted to honor the top points champions in each of NHRA's seven geographic Divisions. Standings for this series are based totally upon NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series Divisional events (National events do not apply). At the time a driver enters a Divisional event for the first time of the season, it is required that said driver declare which of the seven NHRA Divisions is to be his home Division. That Division will become his home Division for the season. Contestants are not permitted to be listed in more than one Division in the same category. Drivers in all Top Alcohol Funny Car/Dragster and NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series categories may compete for home division NHRA Top Alcohol points at up to eight Divisional events and will be credited with the points earned at their best five finishes including up to two "out of division" races. It is allowable to earn points at outside events even after a driver's home divisional schedule is completed. To be eligible for official NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series points and subsequent post-season awards, it is mandatory that a contestant participate at a minimum of three races within their home Division.
