IROC RULES The IROC series is designed to take 12 selected drivers and pit them in exactly similar race cars to determine the best race driver. The 12 drivers are selected by the TCF president according to their racing credentials.
STARTING POSITIONS Drivers will qualify just like in Winston Cup events.
PIT STOPS There are no scheduled pit stops in IROC events. If a driver must stop at the pits for any reason, his car is serviced by a crew of IROC mechanics. Under normal circumstances, a driver who pits under the green flag receives no penalty, except for the time lost on the track. A driver who pits under a yellow caution flag, however, is subject to a one-lap penalty, as assessed by IROC organizers.
SERIES CHAMPION The IROC champion is the driver who has earned the most points in the four races.
