Order is lead lap cars, 1 lap down cars, and multiple lap down cars
h. A spin or stoppage that requires a car to be restarted during a yellow flag slow down period is considered as being involved and will result in said car or cars re-aligning at the rear of the field along with other cars that were involved in the yellow stoppage.
i. If it is determined in any race, after the original start, that any competitor deliberately initiates a caution period, by any means, that competitor may be penalized. The determination of what constitutes deliberately initiating a caution period will be at the judgment of the and/or World Racing Group Officials.
j. Any cars going to the work area and re-entering the race together will be positioned in the order of their last scored lap at the rear of the field behind cars that are on the same lap as they are. If a restart green flag is displayed and followed by a yellow or red flag before a lap is scored, then any car(s) that remained in the work area can re-enter the race but will be positioned behind any same lap car that took the aforementioned restart green flag. If a car remains in the work area it can re-enter during any ensuing race stoppage, lining up behind any cars that are on the same lap as said car that is re-entering.
k. Officials may complete an event, at any completed lap count, at their discretion, if a condition or circumstances create a reasonable inability to continue. The race will be considered complete unless announced otherwise.
l. If, when officials determine in their sole discretion that unforeseen circumstances prevent the completion of the advertised distance or make it impractical to continue or complete the race within a reasonable time after it has been stopped, the race will be considered officially completed as of the last lap scored by the leader prior to the race halt. The finishing positions will be determined, as they would have held if the race had been restarted.

p.In the event that a race car is inadvertently or purposely hit by a push truck, pace vehicle or purposely hit by another race car during push-off, or under yellow flag conditions or other non-racing activity and such incident is witnessed by a World of Outlaws Official, then repairs can be made to the contacted vehicle and that car will resume it’s running position. The maximum time period allotted for such repairs is six (6) minutes. If repairs cannot be completed within this time period, then the car will be scored as finishing last in that race. In the event the damaged car is not able to reenter the race, the car will be scored last on the lap in which that car has completed.
q. When a car is presented in the designated lineup area or during push-off for any event competition, any tire change is prohibited. Any tire change will result in forfeiting starting position. Penalty will be starting in the last position.
r. Adding fuel, whether on the track or in the work area, will not be permitted when yellow flag and/or closed red flag conditions exist.

Gold Members in good standing will transition to Platinum status after the 5th night of racing. The total provisionals any team can accumulate for the 2026 season is four (4). However, unlimited provisionals will again be awarded to all Platinum Teams that are in good standing during the World Final’s event at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
G. Any Owner or Driver that has already exhausted their allotted provisionals but gain additional provisionals by switching teams and/or by any other legal means will earn show-up points only for any further provisional starts.
H. Multi-car teams cannot rotate drivers to enhance their provisional position.
I. Any Team using a provisional shall forfeit the minimum start money paid for the Feature. Any position attained that pays greater than the start money will be paid as advertised minus the start money amount.
J. All Teams wanting to take a provisional must have attempted to compete in at least one preliminary event leading up to the Feature.
K. Provisionals tag the rear of the Feature.
L. An unlimited number of WoO awarded provisionals will be permitted for each event’s Feature.
M. The following guidelines will be used for determining provisional order:

a.For the first 5 race nights of the 2026 season provisionals will be awarded and lined up according to last year’s final Owner and Driver Point standings.
b. Beginning on the 6th night of racing, current Owner Points will determine the provisional order.
c.When using 2025 Owner and Driver Points for the first 5 nights of racing, the provisional order will be established by combining the two-point lists into one, numerically sequenced, list. If a team consists of a 2025 Owner and a different 2025 Driver, then that team uses whichever has the highest point position. Owner Points will take precedent if a tie exists between any Owner and Driver. Other ties will be broken first by 2025 A-Main Feature wins, then top 5 finishes, then top 10 finishes, and finally by qualifying position.

N. Tracks, where a weekly sprint car program is raced and pointed, may install a program identically paid and pointed as the WoO provisional program, for up to 2 local drivers.
O. In the event a qualified car/driver for the Feature Event is unable to take the initial green flag, the qualified car/driver will receive feature points and purse for last place. Any reason for not being able to take the initial green must be approved by Series Officials. In the event that multiple cars/drivers cannot make the initial green, they will be scored and pointed at the back of the field based on starting position. Alternates will no longer be taken to the Feature Event.
P. If at any time during the racing season a Platinum Team splits and both the Owner and Driver retain their Platinum status then both the Owner and Driver will be eligible for any unused Provisionals the Team had when the split occurred.

Section 5 – Racing Program and Special Show Events

A. There may be special event shows during the year that do not follow the Series racing formats. When such events occur, all teams will be informed of specific program and/or procedural changes for that particular event. All racing programs are subject to change and any such changes will be explained to all competitors prior to the race.
B. From time-to-time mandatory appearances, interviews and or/autograph sessions will be scheduled. Drivers will be notified of attendance and location at selected events. If any driver fails to report to any autograph session a written penalty may be issued, which could result in loss of points, starting positions earned and/or fine(s).
