These insertions will be placed directly into the no-show cars qualifying spot in an ascending order, if more than one spot exists. If alternates are not available, the open slots will be considered break singles and not bye-runs. Full points are awarded to the original qualifying driver; alternate accumulates points after the first round. Prize money will be awarded to original winning driver; alternate can win money after reinsertion round. All ladders will be constructed on a professional format, with number one running number thirty two, number two running number thirty one, etc.

Lane Choice

 Lane choice is the responsibility of the lowest qualifying racer. This must be done before leaving the staging lanes. Lane choice does not have to be selected until the point of entry into the burnout box. The car without lane choice should refrain from blocking entry into either lane, regardless of earlier verbal agreement between the competitors. If both cars have set in the burnout box and a track oil-down or facility problem occurs causing a delay of the run, the car with lane choice may request a lane change.
