Those drivers that will get their entry fees refunded are Glenn Borden, Russ Hall, J.J. Hickle, Kevin Ingle, and Danny Martin, Jr. The format for the Sunday show will include group time trials, six inverted heats, three B-Mains, and the 30-lap, 30-car, $5,000-to-win, $375-to-start Brodix Tournament of Champions. Eighteen drivers will advance to the “A” from the heats, and two drivers will do the same from each “B”. Six affiliate provisionals will complete the 30-car Tournament field, with preference given to the point leaders from those sanctions that don’t have any representation in the feature after the qualifying events. Tournament team points will be awarded on a basis of 30 points to the winner, with a one-point drop per position. The sanctioning affiliate accumulating the most points will be declared the Brodix Tournament Team Champion. Emmett Hahn’s American Sprint Cars on Tour (ASCoT) affiliate is the defending team champion, while Kaley Gharst of the Sprint Invaders Association (SIA) is the defending driver champion.
