From there on, the “traditional” USAC format for a three heat race format will take over with the top-five transferring/getting their qualifying time back from each of the three heat races, etc.The fastest top-six “seeds” who transfer through the heats will occupy the first three rows of Saturday’s feature, followed by heat race winners, then the balance of the field based on their seeds, to set the starting lineup for the 25-lap finale paying $6,000-to-win.Furthermore, Friday will be a full points event, awarding points for qualifying, heats and the feature event. For Saturday, those seeds, in essence, will act as the official qualifying time.The number one seed will line up in the 6th position of Saturday’s heat race one and the number two seed will line up in the 6th position of heat race two, and so forth. Friday night’s feature winner will receive the one seed with the second-place finisher getting the second seed, and so on. Instead, heat race lineups will be based on the finishing order of Friday’s event. Kuemper noted that the team’s point fund money for finishing 10th in the standings was 30,000.Two programs over two nights are set for the midgets this Friday and Saturday night, September 24-25, at Eldora with a slight twist in the format for the 39 th running of the 4-Crown Nationals presented by NKT.TV.Friday’s midget program will utilize the traditional format of single-car qualifying, followed by heat races, semi-feature (if needed) and a 25-lap feature event paying $4,000-to-win, with the starting lineup based on qualifying results and heat race winners, as standard.The format for Saturday’s midget event will not include qualifying. If they had maintained a top-10 position in the points throughout the season, that equates to approximately 30,000 in tow money.
