All 500's may run for a NWOK National Championship by racing in as many of the events listed below they choose.  Three (3) of the races will be counted toward National Points.  If a racer competes in more than three, they will use their three highest point races.  Each individual track will run their own format.  Some tracks may do 2 heat races, some may qualify and run 1 heat race.  Points are based off of a drivers finishing order for the event.  If 16 cars make the A-Main, the first car that did not make the A would be scored in 17th position.   The point breakdown can be found under National Points.  In the future, a 5th race will be added to the National tour.  The four races below are already well established events and will remain in place as long as they are held.  The 5th race will be able to be applied for by any NWOK sanctioned track that meets the requirments for a National Race (If you are a promoter of a NWOK track, and would like to know those requirements, please contact Nick Tucker).  All submissions will be evaluated by the NWOK board, and one track will be chosen to host the event.  One year that race could be in Oregon, the next in Texas, and the next in Ohio.  This is a great way to promote our sport all across the United States and allow the racer that does not have the budget to travel, to race against some of the best racers in the country. 

There will also be a NWOK Grand Nationals race each year for the 125's, 250's, and 500's.  For the 125's and 250's, this is the one race where the best of the best will show up to race for the bragging rights of the NWOK Grand Nationals Champion.  Along with being one of the stops on the National Series for the 500's, this will be the event everyone will want to make it to if they can only travel to one event.  The winner of this race will take home the honors of the NWOK Grand Nationals Champion.
