Refusal to sell will result in loss of money and points for that event and points for the season along with racing privileges being suspended for two calendar weeks. To claim, a driver must have raced the three previous races to claim on the fourth and must finish on the lead lap of the feature event. A driver may not claim the same driver twice in the same season. Track promoter has the option to claim any car finishing in the top 4 positions.
