Revision P January 31, 2026
The rules and/or regulations set forth herein are designed to provide for the
orderly conduct of racing events and to establish minimum acceptable
requirements for such events. These rules shall govern the condition of all
events, and by participating in these events, all participants are deemed to have
complied with these rules. NO EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
SAFETY SHALL RESULT FROM PUBLICATIONS OF OR COMPLIANCE WITH
THESE RULES AND/OR REGULATIONS. They are intended as a guide for the
conduct of the sport and are in no way a guarantee against injury or death to a
participant, spectator, or official.
The race director shall be empowered to permit reasonable and appropriate
deviation from any of the specifications herein or impose any further restrictions
that in his opinion do not alter the minimum acceptable requirements. NO
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SAFETY SHALL RESULT FROM
SUCH ALTERATIONS OF SPECIFICATIONS. Any interpretation or deviation of
these rules is left to the discretion of the officials. Their decision is final.
The Management of Huntsville Speedway
WARNING
The intent and interpretation of the rules will be the decision of HS management/
officials. It is strongly recommended that anyone having questions and/or doubt
about the interpretation or intent of the rules follow-up with HS
management/officials before a race event or after a race event. NO PARTY shall
be allowed to distract a track official while a racing event is in progress. All
decisions of HS management/officials will be final and WILL NOT be subject to
appeal by any participant or party. Huntsville Speedway management/officials
reserve the right to change and/or amend any general or division rules AT ANY
TIME without notification or consultation in the interest of promoting better
competition.
Code of Conduct
- All drivers, car owners, crewmembers, and other participants agree that by
entering a HS race event they shall abide by the rules and regulations as set
forth herein. - Any driver or crew member threatening, cursing, harassing, and/or physically
assaulting an HS official or employee will be subject to penalty and/or fines, not
limited to suspension and/or permanent eviction. Drivers, car owners, crew
members, and other participants will be expected to respect HS
management/officials. NO APPELLATE RIGHTS WILL BE AFFORDED. - Drivers, car owners, and crewmembers will be subject to penalization for
engaging in unsportsmanlike conduct. Penalties will be at the discretion of HS - management/officials. All decisions of HS management/officials are FINAL AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO APPEAL.
- Drivers will assume sole responsibility for the action of his/her car owner and
crewmembers. The driver, or parent/guardian in circumstances where the driver
is a legal minor child, shall be the sole spokesperson for the car owner and
crewmembers in any and all matters pertaining to race events. Failure to control
the actions of these guests could result in penalties and reprimands the extent of
which will be determined by speedway management. - WARNING – Stay in your own pit. Remember, your pit space is your
assigned area for the race event. Treat each driver’s pit space with the respect
you would demand of your own by not trespassing in their area. NO GOOD
comes from entering another driver’s space after an on track incident. We
recommend trying to communicate with the other party in a common area, or by
asking from the area outside of their pit if they wish to speak with you. In many
cases, time is more effective at resolving disputes than conversation. - Any physical altercation in the arena of competition, which may be classified
as fighting or any other unacceptable activity with the intent of causing physical
harm to another party, may result in suspension from participation for time period
to be determined by Huntsville Speedway management and/or officials. THESE DECISIONS WILL BE FINAL AND WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO APPEAL. - Individuals engaging in behavior on social media that may be considered
detrimental to the sport of stock car racing and/or Huntsville Speedway and its
brand, may be disallowed from participation in activities of any kind at Huntsville
Speedway or any of its sanctioned off premises events. - NO DRUGS, NO ALCOHOL, NO GLASS CONTAINERS, NO OPEN FLAMES,
NO FIREWORKS (excepting those provided in a professional display sponsored
by the speedway), NO WEAPONS, AND NO FIREARMS (excepting those
parties in law enforcement providing security) PERMITTED ON SPEEDWAY
PROPERTY. NO EXCEPTIONS. Failure to abide by this rule may result in
automatic suspension and removal. A breathalyzer test is available to speedway
officials at all times and may be used at any time. REFUSING to take a
breathalyzer test when requested by a track official may result in immediate
suspension and will be immediately evicted from the pit area. - NO LITTERING! TRASH RECEPTACLES ARE AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT
THE SPEEDWAY PROPERTY. PATRONS ARE EXPECTED TO BEHAVE LIKE
CIVILIZED HUMAN BEINGS AND PLACE ALL TRASH IN A TRASH
RECEPTACLE AND NOT ON THE GROUND IN THE PIT AREA. FINES MAY

BE DEALT WITH BY IMMEDIATE BLACK FLAG. ANY DRIVER WHO
PERSISTS IN THIS BEHAVIOR AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN BLACK FLAGGED
WILL BE SUBJECT TO FINE AND/OR SUSPENSION FROM COMPETITION
FOR A TIME PERIOD THAT WILL BE AT THE DISCRETION OF TRACK
MANAGEMENT. - THERE MAY BE LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS FOR PHYSICAL ASSAULT ON
AN INDIVIDUAL AND/OR ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON CHARGES
FOR GOING AFTER ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL OR THEIR CAR WITH YOUR
RACE VEHICLE. THE RACE TRACK DOES NOT EXIST IN A LEGAL VACUUM

FEDERAL, STATE, AND/OR COUNTY LAW. - ALL patrons in the arena of competition, including the inside and outside pit
area, MUST HAVE the pit admission wristband, issued at the back gate on the
day of the race event, ON THEIR PERSON AT ALL TIMES. ANYONE NOT

Safety Rules
- Apparel – All safety apparel must be worn while on the racing surface. This will
be enforced for practice and race dates. - All drivers must use an appropriate racing helmet that meets Snell SA safety
guidelines and the approval of the Huntsville Speedway technical inspector. A
full-face helmet is suggested. Goggles and/or face shield required. - An SFI certified fire suit is required and must be worn correctly (to
manufacturer’s specifications) during any on-track activity. SFI certified fireproof
gloves and shoes are mandatory. Leather fire-retardant boots will be allowed. - It is recommended that the steering wheel center be padded with at least 2” of
fire resistant material. - Steering wheel must be quick release type for all divisions.
- Left side window net with a highly visible quick release at the top of the A-post
is required and must be secured during any on track activity. - All drivers are required to have a 5-point driver restraint system that is
appropriate and adequate for driver safety, and is installed CORRECTLY
according to manufacturer’s specifications, that is also subject to approval of
Huntsville Speedway technical inspector. - Neck restraints (HANS device, horse collar, etc.) are highly recommended in
all divisions. - A 2 pound fully operational fire extinguisher with a working gauge, secured
with an all steel safety strap, is MANDATORY. A five-pound HALON on-board
fire extinguisher system is preferred. - All cars must be self-starting. If division rules allow battery in driver’s area, it
must be fully enclosed, safely mounted, and equipped an on/off switch in reach
of the driver. - RADIOS – RACING RADIOS ARE AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT MEANS
OF COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR CREW AND THE MOST IMPORTANT
WAY FOR THEM TO NOTIFY YOU OF IMPENDING DANGER. RACING
RADIOS ARE PERMITTED IN ALL DIVISIONS AT HUNTSVILLE SPEEDWAY.
YOU NEED TO HAVE A RACING RADIO ANYTIME YOU ARE ON THE TRACK,
INCLUDING PRACTICE, AND IT NEEDS TO BE IN PROPER WORKING
ORDER. - Roll Bars and Seat
- Racing type seat required. No fiberglass seats are allowed.
- Seat must be mounted using manufacturer specifications to the roll cage and
NOT to floor pan. - A minimum 4 point steel roll cage is mandatory. Roll bars must be welded. No
pipe fitting. Roll bars must be minimum 14 gauge and 1 ¾” in diameter. HS
officials will inspect and approve all roll cages. - All roll bars within drivers reach should be padded with fire resistant material.
- A minimum 1/8” steel plate should be welded between door bars on driver side
from A-post to B-post in all divisions. - It is recommended that all seats should have left and right side head rests.
Fuel Cell
- A fuel cell is required with the exception of the Buzz and Hot Shot classes. IF a
driver/team elects to upgrade a Buzz or Hot Shot car to an aftermarket fuel cell, it
must have a firewall separating the fuel cell from the driver, and have all
appropriate safety devices and features in place for the equipment being used.
Any and all fuel systems are subject to the inspection and approval of Huntsville
Speedway technical inspectors. - Fuel cell maximum size is 22 gallons.
- It is recommended that fuel cell should be located as far forward as possible,
but stay behind the differential housing. Fuel cell must be between frame rails
with proper ground clearance and secured with two 1/8” x 2” steel straps or four
1/8” X 1” steel straps and must be approved by HS officials. NOTE: Ground
clearance depends upon division – see division rules. - Fuel must be pump style only. No alcohol, methanol, E-85, or nitrous oxide
permitted. No hazardous chemical mixtures are allowed. - No pressurized fuel systems or electric fuel pumps allowed with the exception
of factory stock EFI controlled vehicles. NO fuel pump should exceed 10 PSI
under operating conditions with the exception of factory stock EFI controlled
vehicles. Stock type, mechanical fuel pumps ONLY. - Fuel cell caps must be in closed position at all times while car is on the track.
Caps should be safety wired to prevent loss. - HS management/officials request that all divisions with spec engine rules use
Huntsville Speedway fuel and that all fuel purchases be made at the Speedway.
Your fuel purchases at Huntsville Speedway not only support your local track, but
also insure that you and your fellow drivers are competing with a legal, untainted
fuel product. Fuel samples will be subject to analysis. Fuels not matching the fuel
supplied by Huntsville Speedway upon analysis will result in immediate
disqualification with no appeal rights afforded. Choose wisely!
Glass - Front windshield is required. Open Wheel Modified, Buzz, and Hot Shot
divisions see division rules for clarification. - Plexiglass is NOT allowed in any location on the car. ONLY Lexan is permitted
for windshields, side windows, wing windows, and rear spoiler.
Cooling System
- No antifreeze (propylene or ethylene glycol) is allowed. No additives with
antifreeze like substances are allowed. Drivers/teams caught running antifreeze
or antifreeze like substances will be levied a $250 fine per incident. - Huntsville Speedway suggests that all radiator overflow tubes be routed to the
right side windshield post. This lets everyone know to use caution when
approaching the vehicle.
Bodies - Race vehicles must have a neat appearance. Show pride in all your hard work
and time. All aerodynamic body modifications are unacceptable unless provided
for in your individual division rules. Just because it does not say you can’t,
doesn’t mean you can. ASK FIRST! - Numbers must be of distinguishable color and must be at least 20” tall.
Numbers must appear on both sides and on the roof of the race vehicle in order
to be scored correctly. Numbers should also appear on the left rear taillight and
front right headlight so on-track crew members can better identify your race
vehicle. Chrome or highly reflective numbers may adversely affect the lap timer.
Again, CHOOSE WISELY! - All race vehicles must reserve 6” X 48” of space across the top of the
windshield for division sponsor’s name. Open Wheel Modified cars please
reserve backside of rear spoiler. - If a division has a division sponsor, Huntsville Speedway may require that all
vehicles in that division carry the sponsor’s decal to support both the sponsor
and the Speedway. Any driver REFUSING to carry the appropriate Speedway
approved decal will not be awarded championship points and will not receive any
bonus money provided by the sponsor above the regular posted Speedway
payout.
Tires - Huntsville Speedway/Sayre Speedway American Racer KK-704 tires will be
required for all V-8 divisions. All other divisions should refer to their division
specific rules for tire requirements. - All race vehicles must compete only on tires officially approved and/or marked
by Huntsville Speedway. - Tire soaking is allowed in all divisions. HOWEVER, it may not be done on
Huntsville Speedway property. - There will be a $25 PER TIRE restocking fee for any unused tires that are
returned to the Huntsville Speedway Tire Barn. TIRES MUST BE IN NEW,
UNUSED CONDITION. Refunds will be issued via a check from the Huntsville Speedway office. There will be a $10 PER TIRE exchange fee for exchanging a tire for another tire in stock.
Driver and Car Registration - All drivers must complete the Huntsville Speedway drivers’ information form
and IRS W-9 form annually before being able to compete in races at HS. When
the form is turned in to the office, you will reserve your race vehicle number. The
number you reserve will be yours for the entire season and no changes will be
allowed.
Inspection - Inspection of participants’ vehicles will be accomplished at the sole discretion
of the officials. - Race vehicles are subject to being inspected at any time after entering the
pits, as determined by officials. Inspection may take place before, during, and/or
after race events. - There will be NO compensation for teardown or inspection.
- It will be the responsibility of the top 3 finishing drivers in each division to move
their race vehicles to the designated inspection area immediately following the
race. - Officials have the right to limit admittance to the inspection area. No more than
three team members are allowed. - Drivers, team owner, and crew members may be disqualified for failure to
observe and adhere to the rules as interpreted by officials, resulting in forfeiture
of points and/or prize money. - Any driver/team refusing inspection is automatically disqualified and will be
awarded NO points or prize money. - Drivers and/or team members who are non-compliant with speedway officials
may invoke an immediate disqualification for their driver.
Weight - Scales are normally open two hours prior to event start time.
- Weighing the participants’ vehicles will be accomplished at the sole discretion
of the officials. Race vehicles are subject to being weighed at any time after
entering the pits, as determined by officials. Weighing may take place before,
during, and/or after race events. - The top 3 finishing race vehicles will be weighed at the end of the division’s
feature race. ALL finishers should remain prepared to enter technical inspection
until the results of the feature have been deemed official.
When a division is qualified, all vehicles must go directly to the scales and be
weighed immediately after the vehicle comes off of the racing surface. If a vehicle
goes to their pit area before going over the scales, their qualifying time may be
disallowed.
- It will be the responsibility of the driver to move his/her race vehicle to the
scales immediately following qualifying and race, as instructed by the HS
officials. - The first place finisher will proceed to victory lane upon race completion.
- If a race vehicle incurs a weight loss during an event and/or before it reaches
the scales at the end of an event, and does not weigh enough it is subject to an
automatic penalty of disqualification. The only exception will be body parts that
are lost during that race, which may be added back to race vehicle. Parts that
can be added back will be determined by scale official. - Driver must accompany the race vehicle to scales.
- When race vehicles are being weighed, driver must be in race position by
sitting upright, with both hands positioned on steering wheel, and helmet in
his/her lap. - All ballast weight must be steel or lead ONLY, and be bolted or secured at all
times. - No unsecured ballast weight inside of driver’s compartment (i.e. lead filled
water bottles, altered radios). - All weight must be painted white with your vehicle number on each piece of
weight. Any weight not meeting this requirement could result in immediate
disqualification. - Lost weight may be purchased back for a fee of $10 per pound but can NOT
be added to the final post-race weight. Fee must be paid to the scale official prior
to receiving the weight. - Weight shifting devices, lead pellets, and liquid weights are NOT allowed.
- THE OFFICIAL WEIGHT OBTAINED BY THE SCALES OF HUNTSVILLE
SPEEDWAY WILL BE DEEMED AS THE OFFICIAL WEIGHT FOR THE RACE
VEHICLE. Weights obtained on independent scales will not be recognized or
acknowledged. Drivers, car owner, and crew members may be disqualified for
failure to observe and adhere to the rules as interpreted by officials, resulting in
forfeiture of points and/or prize money.
Pit Safety
- TRAFFIC MAY EXIT THE PITS UNDER RACE CONDITIONS OUT OF TURN
ONE AND TURN THREE. YOU MAY ENTER AT ANY OTHER PIT ENTRANCE
FROM THE RACING SURFACE. DURING PRACTICE, WE REQUIRE THAT
YOU EXIT THE PITS ONTO THE RACING SURFACE OUT OF TURN ONE
ONLY SO THAT WE MAY CONTROL THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC ON THE
TRACK AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS IS TO HELP ELIMINATE SPEEDING IN
THE PITS. DRIVERS TRAVELING AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS IN THE PITS MAY
RECEIVE ONE WARNING BY A TRACK OFFICIAL. UPON THE NEXT
VIOLATION THEY WILL BE SUBJECT TO FINE AND/OR SUSPENSION BY
SPEEDWAY MANAGEMENT. ALWAYS BE AWARE AND GO SLOW! - PEDESTRIANS AND CREW MEMBERS REMAIN IN YOUR PIT AREAS AND
OUT OF TRAFFIC LANES. STAY OFF OF THE PIT WALLS AT ALL TIMES.
LINES ARE IN PLACE INSIDE THE PIT LANES. THE INSIDE LANE IS TO BE
USED FOR PITTING. WE EXPECT YOU TO HAVE YOUR RACE VEHICLE
INSIDE THAT LANE WHILE PITTING. THE OUTSIDE LANE IS INTENDED FOR
EXITING THE PIT. DO NOT BLOCK THE EXIT LANE WITH CARS, TIRES,
JACKS, OR CREW MEMBERS WHILE YOU ARE PITTING. DURING RACE
CONDITIONS ALL CREW MEMBERS, FAMILY, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN,
SHOULD BE BEHIND THE YELLOW LINE AT THE END OF THE PIT BOX.
ONE WARNING WILL BE ISSUED! YOU MAY THEN BE ESCORTED TO THE
GRANDSTANDS OR ESCORTED FROM THE PROPERTY. AROUND THE
CURVED WALLS IN THE PITS, YOU NEED TO BE A MINIMUM OF 10 FEET
BACK FROM THE WALL WHILE THE TRACK IS HOT! ONE WARNING WILL
BE ISSUED, THEN YOU WILL BE ESCORTED OUT OF THE PITS! NO
EXCEPTIONS! - ANY CREW MEMBER SERVICING A RACE VEHICLE ON PIT ROAD MUST
BE WEARING CLOSED TOED SHOES. - NO ONE MAY CROSS THE TRACK WHILE RACE VEHICLES ARE ON THE
TRACK. ONLY IN DIRE EMERGENCY, ANY INDIVIDUAL MAY BE ESCORTED
ACROSS THE TRACK BY A TRACK OFFICIAL WHEN CONDITIONS ARE
SAFE. THIS WILL NOT BE ABUSED. - DURING A CAUTION, THE DRIVER(S) INVOLVED SHOULD STAY IN THEIR
VEHICLE UNTIL THE FIELD HAS SLOWED AND MUST STAY WITH THEIR
VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES. DRIVERS WHO ABANDON THEIR VEHICLE ON
THE RACE TRACK FOLLOWING A CAUTION OR AFTER BEING BLACK
FLAGGED THAT INTENTIONALLY OBSTRUCT THE RACE PROCEEDINGS
MAY BE SUBJECT TO PENALTIES NOT LIMITED TO A FINE AND/OR
SUSPENSION FROM COMPETITION FOR A TIME TO BE DETERMINED BY
MANAGEMENT.
- DRIVERS MAY NOT APPROACH A MOVING RACE CAR ON FOOT. NO
CREW MEMBERS ARE ALLOWED ON TRACK DURING A CAUTION PERIOD
UNLESS DIRECTED BY TRACK OFFICIALS. ALLOW THE TRACK OFFICIALS
AND SAFETY CREWS TO DO THEIR JOBS. - BE AWARE OF THE TRACK SAFETY PERSONNEL AS THEY MOVE
AROUND THE PITS AND TRACK DURING CAUTION. THESE
PROFESSIONALS ARE HERE TO HELP PROTECT YOU! WE ALSO ASK
THAT YOU PLACE SOME TYPE OF REFLECTIVE STICKER ON YOUR ROLL
CAGE TO INDICATE WHERE YOUR WINDOW NET LATCH IS LOCATED.
YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON BEING ABLE TO FIND YOUR WINDOW NET
LATCH! - ALL RACE COMPETITORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO KEEP BODY PANELS
IN GOOD REPAIR TO MINIMIZE SHARP EDGES THAT MAY POSE RISK OF
BODILY HARM TO OTHER DRIVERS/CREW, TRACK OFFICIALS, AND TECH
INSPECTORS. ALSO, RACE VEHICLES SHOULD BE CLEANED OUT
BEFORE ARRIVING AT THE TRACK WITH ANY AND ALL LOOSE DEBRIS
SUCH AS LEAVES, TREE LIMBS, DIRT, AND ASSOCIATED ITEMS
REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE BEFORE ENTERING THE PROPERTY.
HUNTSVILLE SPEEDWAY, ITS MANAGEMENT, OWNERSHIP, AND
EMPLOYEES SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES INCURRED
BY A RACE VEHICLE OF ANY TYPE. - NO PATRON SHALL RIDE OR HANG OUTSIDE OF A TOW VEHICLE (ON
TRAILER HITCH, ON TOP OF TRAILER, HANGING OUT OF SIDE DOOR, ON
THE BUMPER OF TOW VEHICLE) ON SPEEDWAY PROPERTY. YOU ARE
NOT RIDING IN A PARADE WHILE EN ROUTE TO YOUR PIT AREA, BUT
YOU COULD EASILY BE RIDING IN A FUNERAL PROCESSION ON MONDAY
MORNING. SUCCESS BEGINS WITH SMART CHOICES.
Race and Qualifying Procedures - Insurance regulations require that any drivers competing at HS must obtain
prior approval from Huntsville Speedway’s management in order to be eligible to
compete. - It is considered unsportsmanlike conduct to block or cut up/down on a fellow
driver. Officials will impose penalties as they see fit. Respect your fellow drivers
as you expect them to respect you. Race and show respect. - All scoreboard displays and announcer commentary are for entertainment
purposes only and are not considered official. Decision of the race director shall
be final. No appeals afforded. - All drivers will qualify or draw for starting positions. Divisions that will be
qualifying for any given week will be announced in the Race Day Schedule for
that week and will be subject to change due to weather and/or car count. ALL
Drivers or their representatives of the team MUST register upon arrival to the track. Drivers or their representatives must draw for position IF their division isnot qualifying. Anyone who has not drawn 30 minutes prior to drivers’ meeting will start in the rear of the field. Once qualifying is announced for your class, you have five (5) minutes to be in line. If you are not in line in five (5) minutes, you will not be allowed to qualify.
- Drivers or crew members are expected to bring their race vehicles to the
starting grid in a reasonable amount of time when their division is called. The
Race Day Schedule provides you with the time when your division’s race will be
run. BE PREPARED. - Qualifying will be at a designated time on race day. Any driver change or
change of car, following qualifying will result in forfeiture of the qualifying position
and placement to the rear of the field. If more than one car is involved, position
will be determined by order of events. If a driver is affected by adverse race track
conditions, (i.e. a blown engine by the preceding car), the driver may be given
another opportunity at his/her qualifying laps after the track crew has cleaned the
track surface to the best of their ability. This is a privilege, not a right, and it will
not be abused. - Any race vehicles one or more laps down, are expected to move to the INSIDE
with caution for lead lap vehicles to pass. Lapped vehicles must allow lead cars
to pass to the outside without any interference. Any race vehicles causing
problems for the leaders will be parked. - Any race vehicle in any division must be able to maintain a safe speed while
on the racing surface under race conditions. THE VEHICLE MUST NOT
INTERFERE WITH LEAD LAP VEHICLES. Race vehicles not meeting this
requirement will be subject to black flag from the race director and asked not to
return to the event. - The enforcement of the black flag will be determined BASED ON THE
INFRACTION by the flagman and race director. Black flags may be imposed for
infractions ranging from a body panel hazard which can be repaired and the
driver return to the race to an overaggressive driving violation which can end the
driver’s race. Drivers may also be warned by the flagman with a rolled black flag
before drawing the full black flag penalty. - SPIN RULE – THE DRIVER(S) FOR WHOM THE CAUTION WAS THROWN
WILL BE PLACED TO THE REAR OF THE FIELD. BOTH THE DRIVER WHO
SPINS AND THE DRIVER WHO CAUSED THE SPIN OR CRASH WILL GO TO
THE REAR. THE INTENTION SHOULD BE TO RACE OTHERS THE WAY
YOU WISH TO BE RACED. WE HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE
CONSISTENT ON THIS. DRIVERS WHO SPIN TO AVOID COLLISION WILL
NOT BE PENALIZED.
10a. LAST LAP SPIN RULE – This rule applies to lead lap vehicles on the
final lap of an event, after the leader has taken the white flag and the field is
racing back to the checkered flag. If a vehicle instigates/creates/causes a spin of another lead lap vehicle, the vehicle creating the spin will be scored in the position behind the vehicle(s) he or she spun in the final finishing order. For example, if the fourth place vehicle spins the third place vehicle, resulting in the third place vehicle ultimately crossing the start/finish line and taking the checkered flag in the 12th position, then the offending vehicle will be scored in 13th position. This rule does not supercede or replace the No Spin to Win rule that applies solely to the vehicles running in first and second positions. - SPORTSMANSHIP CLAUSE: IF A DRIVER INSTIGATES A SPIN OR CRASH AND WISHES TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR CAUSING THE INCIDENT, HE OR SHE MAY REACH TO THE ROOF OF THEIR RACE VEHICLE AND TAP THEIR ROOF WITHIN VIEW OF THE FLAGMAN AND RACE CONTROL.
- THE DRIVER WHO WAS SPUN/WRECKED WILL BE ALLOWED TO RETAKE THEIR POSITION IN THE RUNNING ORDER IF POSSIBLE AND THE DRIVER TAKING RESPONSIBILITY WILL BE PLACED AT THE REAR OF THE FIELD FOR THE SUBSEQUENT RESTART. THE SPORTSMANSHIP RULE CAN NOT BE USED TO ALTER THE RESTART ORDER OF A RACE AS DETERMINED BY SCORING. IF A DRIVER WISHES TO YIELD A POSITION TO ANOTHER DRIVER ON A RESTART, THEY MUST FALL BEHIND ALL OTHER DRIVERS ON THE LEAD LAP. THIS CLAUSE CANNOT BE UTILIZED ON THE LAST LAP.
- Lead lap vehicles will get their spot back if a spin results in contact with
lapped traffic AS LONG AS the lead vehicle does not have to enter the pit for
repairs or service. If the lead vehicle pits, it will restart at the end of the field, in
front of the first car one or more laps down. If the lead lap vehicle initiates the
contact, then the lead lap vehicle will go to the rear. - When race line up has been determined via qualifying, inversion, draw, etc.
Any vehicle that drops out of the race or loses its position for whatever reason,
line up will be determined by moving that row of vehicles straight forward.
Officials may revise line up before the start of the race. - No position change or passing will be allowed on the final pace lap. Drivers
are expected to maintain pace car speed while proceeding to the start zone.
Failure to comply with these rules may result in loss of starting position. - Officials have the right to consult with a driver without loss of position to the
driver. Consultation with officials is allowed on the front straightaway at the turn 1
pit exit. A driver may ask for the race director/chief scorer to recheck scoring. No
arguments or debate will be entertained during a race. Any driver who stops on
the track and refuses to continue after decision is made will be subject to being
placed on the rear of the field, and/or being scored as losing a lap or laps to the
leader. Scoring goes back to last completed green flag lap. Drivers who refuse to
comply will be escorted from the racing surface by track officials and/or police. - Races are line scored at Huntsville Speedway. You cannot lose any laps in
the pits or on the track under caution, only under green flag racing conditions. In
line scoring, a complete lap is scored when the race vehicle crosses the start/finish line on the frontstretch on the racing surface, makes one complete circuit around the track, and crosses the start/finish line on the frontstretch on the racing surface again while under the green flag. In line scoring, the start/finish line DOES NOT cross pit road, ergo you cannot be scored on pit road.
- a) If a race vehicle has suffered damage that creates an environment on the
track that may endanger other drivers, or has a noticeable fluid leak, the flagman
and/or track official will pull vehicle over for consultation and inspection at the
turn 1 pit exit. Vehicle must go to pits for repair if repairs are deemed necessary
after inspection. The driver will be granted the customary three (3) laps as is
awarded to a driver pitting who is involved in caution and will return to the end of
the field at the end of the lead lap. If the vehicle is able to continue without pitting,
it may return to its previous position in the running order.
b) If a driver creates a caution situation as a result of losing any part or piece of
their race vehicle which puts debris down on the racing surface, and the
aforementioned debris can be positively associated with the guilty party, that car
will restart the race in the rear and will not be eligible to use the cone if applicable
for that division. - a) Any driver who refuses to remove his race vehicle from the track upon
request from the officials will be disqualified and/or suspended.
b) Any driver who exits their race vehicle on the race track during green flag or
caution conditions creates a potentially deadly risk to themselves and others and
may be subject to penalty, including but not limited to disqualification, fines,
and/or suspensions. Exclusions may include instances where a driver’s life may
be in danger from a situation involving the race vehicle or if asked to exit a race
vehicle by a track official. Any other unforeseen circumstances not enumerated
here would be at the sole discretion of track management. - a) THE FLAGMAN STARTS THE RACE WITH THE GREEN FLAG. THE
OUTSIDE LINE SHOULD STAY EVEN WITH OR SLIGHTLY BEHIND THE
LEADER ON THE INSIDE LINE. DO NOT FIRE BEFORE THE DOUBLE LINES
BETWEEN TURNS 3 AND 4. IF THE FLAGMAN DEEMS YOU HAVE JUMPED
THE START, HE WILL ISSUE ONE WARNING. IF YOU JUMP THE NEXT
START, YOU WILL BE PLACED ON THE REAR OF THE FIELD. ON ALL
RESTARTS, THE LEADER OF THE RACE CONTROLS THE START. AGAIN,
DO NOT FIRE BEFORE THE YELLOW LINES BETWEEN TURNS 3 AND 4,
BUT YOU MUST FIRE BY THE TIME YOU REACH THE SOLID WHITE LINE
AT THE EXIT OF TURN 4 OR THE FIELD WILL FALL BACK UNDER
CONTROL OF THE FLAGMAN WHO WOULD THEN START THE RACE WITH
THE DROP OF THE GREEN FLAG.
b) NEW FOR 2026 “STAY IN YOUR LANE!” The practice of driving up or
down the track to force your fellow driver out of their lane to attempt to gain some
sort of advantage on a start or restart is disrespectful and can cause significant
unnecessary damage to equipment and jeopardize driver safety. Drivers judged to be engaging in this practice will be subject to an end of the longest line penalty.
- Completion of the first lap shall be when the lead vehicle crosses the start-
finish line for the first time after the green flag is displayed to all race vehicles
WITH NO CAUTION OCCURRING. - If the race is stopped or caution occurs before the first lap is completed there
will be a complete re-start and all vehicles return to their original positions, unless
a vehicle chooses to pit. Vehicles choosing to pit must go to the rear of the field
for the restart and the row will be moved forward. No vehicle or driver changes
can be made after the initial green flag is displayed. - NO repairs to any race vehicle on the racing surface at ANYTIME by drivers
or crew members. This includes pit crew members reaching to the race vehicle
over a retaining barrier with tools or person from the pits while the vehicle sits on
the racing surface. If this rule is violated, vehicle will go to the rear and the
offending crew members will be ejected from the pit area. - In the event of an accident, disabled vehicles will be towed immediately to the
infield area. All participants except officials, wreckers, ambulance, and track crew
must stay off the track unless directed by a track official. - When an accident or oil spill occurs, the officials may red flag the event if
clean-up is expected to exceed 3 laps or if the racing surface is blocked or
unsafe. When the red flag is lifted, race vehicles will receive at least two full laps
under caution and then resume green flag racing. If oil dry is used, officials may
deem it necessary to run two or more warm-up laps with race vehicles on track to
run-in oil dry. Drivers who avoid the oil dry or make a point to not assist in
returning the track surface to a raceable condition may be penalized to restart on
the rear. - When caution or red flag is displayed, the starting order for the restart will be
determined according to last full green lap completed. Vehicles choosing to pit
must fall in at the rear of the field for the restart in the order they exited the pit
lane. If the event is called prior to restart, the finishing order will be determined by
the last completed green flag lap. - DRIVERS/VEHICLES WHO ARE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN A CAUTION
INCIDENT (I.E. THE CAUTION WAS CALLED FOR YOUR VEHICLE) WILL BE
GIVEN THREE LAPS FROM THE TIME THEIR VEHICLE REACHES THEIR PIT
STALL TO DETERMINE IF REPAIRS CAN BE MADE AND EFFECT THOSE
REPAIRS. DRIVERS WHO ARE NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE CAUTION
WILL NOT BE GIVEN THREE LAPS IF THEY CHOOSE TO PIT. FOR
EXAMPLE, IF TWO DRIVERS IN A CAUTION COME TO THEIR PITS TO
MAKE REPAIRS AND THEIR THREE LAPS HAVE ELAPSED, AND A DRIVER
ON TRACK DECIDES TO ENTER THE PITS FOR SERVICE, THAT DRIVER
WILL NOT BE GIVEN THREE LAPS BEFORE THE RACE RETURNS TO
GREEN AS THEY WERE NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN THE CAUTION.
- Any vehicle that speeds in the pits, in the opinion of HS management/official
is subject to disqualification, a fine/penalty, and/or suspension. Everyone should
always be aware in the pit area. SLOW DOWN AND BE AWARE OF YOUR
SURROUNDINGS. - On restarts, the race is started for all drivers when the leader fires and takes
the green flag. However, trailing cars will not advance their position except for an
outside pass before crossing the start-finish line and taking the green flag.
Example: 10th place car starts racing when green flag is displayed to the leader,
and the green light is on. 10th place car may begin passing maneuvers
immediately as long as they are on the outside lane. The race vehicle may pass
and race at will after crossing the start-finish line, thus receiving the green flag. - If a race vehicle slows or stops bringing out the caution, it must remain
stopped on the track until help arrives or driver will be penalized one lap. Also,
any driver intentionally drawing a caution by ejecting any type of debris from their
race vehicle will be penalized one lap. This act must be witnessed by a track
official. We will not penalize based on hearsay from bystanders. - If the official flagman displays a black flag to any car, it must adhere to the
flag within 3 laps. Car will not be scored after receiving the black flag for 3
consecutive laps and will forfeit all prize money and points. - In the event two cars cross the start-finish line at the same time and it cannot
be determined who is ahead on the lap, the lead will be given to the car that was
the leader of the previous lap. - In the event that any driver is involved in an accident serious enough to
require the race vehicle be towed, the driver must be evaluated by medical staff
(HEMSI) and cleared prior to leaving the track. Should a driver decline
evaluation, they may be subject to suspension. - LUCKY DOG – WHEN A CAUTION IS DISPLAYED DURING AN EVENT,
THE FIRST RACE VEHICLE THAT IS ONE OR MORE LAPS DOWN WILL BE
ELIGIBLE FOR THE LUCKY DOG. THE DRIVER WILL BE MOTIONED
AROUND THE PACE CAR AND ALLOWED TO BECOME THE FINAL CAR ON
THE LEAD LAP. A CAR/DRIVER MAY ONLY GAIN ONE (1) LAP PER
CAUTION PERIOD. LAPPED CARS WILL BE SEQUENCED ACCORDING TO
SCORING AS CARS ONE LAP DOWN, TWO LAPS DOWN, ETC. IF THERE
ARE NO CARS ONE LAP DOWN, THE FIRST CAR TWO LAPS DOWN WILL
BE AWARDED ONE LAP BACK, ETC. IN DIVISIONS THAT UTILIZE THE
CONE FOR RESTARTS, THE RECIPIENT OF THE LUCKY DOG WILL NOT BE
ELIGIBLE TO USE THE CONE UNTIL ONE FULL LAP IS COMPLETED UNDER
GREEN. AT THE NEXT CAUTION, THE LUCKY DOG RECIPIENT WILL BE
ELIGIBLE FOR THE CONE. - ALL DIVISIONS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LATE MODEL AND OPEN
WHEEL MODIFIED (MANDATORY DOUBLE FILE RESTARTS) AND ANY
GUEST DIVISION THAT UTILIZES THEIR OWN START PROTOCOL WILL
16
UTILIZE THE CONE RESTART PROCEDURE. EFFECTIVE IN THE 2022
SEASON, ALL RESTARTS WILL BE DOUBLE FILE OR USE THE CONE
THROUGH THE CONCLUSION OF THE RACE. THERE WILL BE NO SINGLE
FILE RESTARTS.
RACE RESTART PROCEDURE USING THE RESTART CONE
RACE RESTARTS, FOLLOWING THE INITIAL GREEN FLAG TO START THE
EVENT AND AFTER A FULL LAP HAS BEEN COMPLETED UNDER GREEN,
SHALL BE SEQUENCED USING THE “RESTART CONE.” THE PROCEDURE
FOR THIS PROCESS IS AS FOLLOWS.
NEW FOR 2026 WHEN THE FLAGMAN GIVES THE FIELD THE
INDICATION THAT TWO LAPS UNDER CAUTION REMAIN UNTIL THE
GREEN FLAG, A STANDARD ORANGE SAFETY CONE WILL BE PLACED AT
THE MIDPOINT OF THE RACING SURFACE ON THE FRONTSTRETCH BY A
TRACK OFFICIAL. THE TRACK DOES RESERVE THE OPTION TO PLACE
THE CONE AT ONE LAP TO GO IF IT IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF TIME,
I.E. WEATHER, ETC. WHEN THE FIELD APPROACHES THE CONE, THE
LEADER WILL RETAIN LANE OPTION, MEANING THE RACE LEADER MAY
ELECT TO RESTART THE EVENT IN THE UPPER RACING LANE, OR IN THE
LOWER RACING LANE. ONCE THE LEADER HAS COMMITTED TO HIS
LANE, DRIVERS IN POSITION 2 BACK THROUGH THE FIELD MAY
VOLUNTARILY ELECT TO CHOOSE THE UPPER RACING LANE, OR
REMAIN IN THE LOWER RACING LANE TO RESTART THE EVENT. DRIVERS
MAY CHOOSE TO NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE RESTART CONE AND
STAY IN THE LOWER, PREFERRED RACING GROOVE. HOWEVER, THOSE
DRIVERS MAY BE SURPASSED IN THE STARTING ORDER BY DRIVERS
BEHIND THEM WHO ELECT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CONE AND
START IN THE UPPER RACING LANE, TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO
ATTEMPT TO BETTER THEIR POSITION.
NEW FOR 2026 ONCE A DRIVER HAS PASSED THE CONE AND MADE
THEIR LANE SELECTION, THEY ARE COMMITTED TO THAT STARTING
POSITION FOR THE BALANCE OF THE RESTART. THEY MAY NOT MOVE
BACK INTO THEIR PREVIOUS POSITION PRIOR TO USING THE RESTART
CONE. AFTER THE FIELD TAKES THE GREEN FLAG ON THE RESTART,
THE FIELD MUST COMPLETE ONE FULL LAP UNDER GREEN. IF THE FIELD
DOES NOT COMPLETE ONE FULL LAP UNDER GREEN, THE FIELD WILL BE
RE-ORDERED HOW THEY TOOK THE CONE BEFORE THE RESTART. ANY
RACE VEHICLES THAT DROP OUT AS A RESULT OF THE CAUTION WILL
BE REMOVED FROM THE LINEUP AND THEIR RESPECTIVE LINES WILL BE
MOVED UP.
ONCE ALL DRIVERS HAVE PASSED THE CONE, THE RESTART CONE WILL
BE REMOVED FROM THE RACING SURFACE, AND THIS WILL CONSTITUTE
THE RESTART ORDER FOR THE FIELD AS IT COMES TO THE GREEN
FLAG.
AFTER THE FIELD TAKES THE GREEN FLAG ON THE RESTART, THE FIELD
MUST COMPLETE ONE FULL LAP UNDER GREEN. IF THE FIELD DOES NOT
COMPLETE ONE FULL LAP UNDER GREEN, SCORING WILL REVERT TO
THE LAST COMPLETED GREEN FLAG LAP FOR THE RUNNING ORDER,
AND THE CONE WILL BE REINTRODUCED. DRIVERS MAY THEN MAKE
THEIR LANE SELECTIONS OVER AGAIN, BUT WILL NOT BE COMMITTED
TO THE CHOICE THEY MADE PREVIOUSLY.
THE DRIVER(S) WHO PRODUCED THE CAUTION PERIOD NECESSITATING
A RESTART, AND/OR RACE VEHICLES 1 OR MORE LAPS DOWN WILL NOT
BE ALLOWED TO USE THE RESTART CONE, AND THEY MUST RESTART IN
THE LOWER RACING LANE. ONE FULL GREEN FLAG LAP MUST BE
COMPLETED BEFORE THE DRIVER WHO CAUSED THE PREVIOUS
CAUTION OR THE RECIPIENT OF THE LUCKY DOG WILL BE ALLOWED TO
UTILIZE THE RESTART CONE.
- ONCE THE WHITE FLAG HAS BEEN THROWN FOR THE RACE LEADER,
WE WILL RACE BACK TO THE CHECKERED FLAG. IF AN ACCIDENT
OCCURS DURING THE FINAL LAP, THE FLAGMAN WILL ACTIVATE THE
CAUTION LIGHT ALONG WITH THE GREEN TO ALERT YOU THAT THERE IS
A POTENTIAL HAZARD ON THE TRACK. SPOTTERS PLEASE BE CAREFUL
TO INFORM YOUR DRIVER OF THE LOCATION OF THE HAZARD. IF THE
TRACK IS BLOCKED IN SUCH A WAY THAT ENDANGERS A DRIVER, THE
CAUTION WILL BE DISPLAYED AND THE RACE WILL BE OVER WHICH WILL
DECLARE THE LEADER AT THE WHITE FLAG THE RACE WINNER. NO SPIN
TO WIN! IF THE DRIVER LEADING THE RACE IS “DUMPED” BY THE
SECOND PLACE DRIVER, THEN THE DRIVER IN THIRD PLACE WILL BE
DECLARED THE RACE WINNER. - IN ALL WEEKLY DIVISIONS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF LATE MODEL ,
OPEN WHEEL MODIFIED, SPORTSMAN, AND STAR SUPERTRUCKS, THE
WINNER OF THE LAST RACE WILL START IN THE REAR OF THE FIELD
FOR THE NEXT RACE HE OR SHE COMPETES IN. THIS APPLIES TO BOTH
THE DRIVER AND THE RACE VEHICLE. IF MULTIPLE DRIVERS NEED TO
FULFILL THIS REQUIREMENT IN THE SAME RACE, THEY WILL BE LINED
AT THE REAR OF THE FIELD IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER OF THEIR WIN,
MOST RECENT WINNER LAST. - VICTORY LAPS – We understand the desire to celebrate an achievement like a race
win with your team and fans with an “old-school” victory lap. Huntsville Speedway
wishes to preserve this tradition for the future. However, safety must be our primary
concern, and in light of risks posed by this post-race activity, it is necessary to put forth
guidelines to ensure the safety of all involved. Remember, being able to engage in this
activity is a privilege, not a right. Therefore, any participant wishing to do a victory lap
after a race win must abide by these guidelines. - After completion of the race and the cool down lap, the race winner will pull
under the flagstand to notify the flagman and/or stop and go official that
they wish to do a victory lap. The car must be oriented in the direction of the normal flow of traffic on the speedway. “Reverse” victory laps will not be allowed.
- The flagman and/or stop and go official will verify that the grandstand gate
and the back gate are secure and that no pedestrians have entered the track
surface. - Then and only then will the flagman and/or stop and go official give the
driver the checkered flag to complete their lap. NO TEAM MEMBERS, CAR
OWNERS, FAMILY, ETC. CAN CROSS THE INNER PIT WALL INTO VICTORY LANE
UNTIL THE VICTORY LAP IS COMPLETE. IF THIS OCCURS, THE FLAGMAN WILL
NOT ALLOW THE VICTORY LAP AND THE DRIVER WILL BE DIRECTED TO
VICTORY LANE. - Should ANY safety situation arise where the track needs to be clear for fire
and safety crews to respond, the victory lap may be disallowed by the
flagman. SAFETY FIRST…ALWAYS. - The Speedway reserves the right to wave off a victory lap at any time due to
any circumstance, including but not limited to foot traffic on the speedway,
safety issues with another car or driver, time constraints, etc. If you pull
under the flagstand and the flagman points you to victory lane, understand
that we are not able to accommodate a victory lap at that time.
Prize Money
- Drivers will be paid according to laps completed. Should the race end under a
red-checkered, the finish and prize money will be the same as under a normal
finish. - All prize money and trophies may be held on any race event until the official
finishing order is released from scoring and/or official inspection is completed. - All prize money will be available in the speedway office immediately following
that night’s race event. All prize money will be paid by company check. Prize
money will be held in the office if not claimed on race night. - No changes will be made to finishing order after prize money has been paid.
- Only car owner and/or driver can collect and sign for prize money. All prize
money that has not been signed for will be mailed in form of a check at Huntsville
Speedway’s discretion. All prize money not collected 30 days after season ends
will be added to our points fund. WE WILL NOT MEET ANY DRIVER/TEAM
MEMBER/CREW CHIEF/CAR OWNER at the track during the week to pickup
your payoff! If it is not that important to you on race night, it is not that important
to us on Wednesday. - A lost check fee of $40 will be levied on any driver who needs to have a
replacement check issued. Huntsville Speedway will issue a new check after receiving notification from the bank that the payment of the original check has been stopped - Point System
- A driver will receive last place points for attempting to compete in nightly
events if they have registered, paid any and all fees, and have not been
disqualified. Any car not able to take the green flag on the initial start of the race
event due to mechanical issues will be scored if they are able to return to the
race at RACE SPEED. Any cars re-entering the track and not able to maintain
race speed will be BLACK FLAGGED and SCORING WILL STOP. Any driver
who is unable to compete and requests to have his/her entry/registration fees
refunded for the event will be awarded NO POINTS for the event. - A driver can compete for points in more than one race division on any given
night as long as the fees for each individual division have been paid at
registration and a separate (additional) $30 pit pass has been paid for the
additional car. - Rookie of the Year may be awarded to the driver placing highest in points for
each division who is competing for their first season in that particular division.
Drivers must pre-register for Rookie of the Year status at the beginning of the
racing season (within the first four race events) and compete in at least 75% of
the scheduled season events (not to include rain outs). - In the event of a tie for the season point championship, the first tiebreaker will
be most race wins, followed by most top five finishes, followed by most top ten
finishes, etc. Championship awards will be presented to the top five finishers in
points at the end of the season at the annual Speedway banquet. - All points awarded will be credited to the driver (not the race vehicle).
- After a race event has taken the initial green flag, no changes of driver may
occur. If a driver is unable to continue in the race event, they will be expected to
enter their pit and park their race vehicle. - Any disqualification will result in forfeiture of points and prize money.
- INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICIES Any race cancelled due to a rain out, will
NOT be rescheduled. Any races not completed during an event for any reason
will NOT be rescheduled. Track management is diligent about monitoring
weather conditions in the days and hours prior to any scheduled race event and
strives to make event cancellation calls as early as possible on the day of a
scheduled race event. However, circumstances may arise that are out of the
control of track management. With that in mind, the following protocols will be
followed in the event of a weather/natural disaster scenario after the track has
opened for the day.
A. Should inclement weather develop during practice, prior to qualifying,
every effort will be made to resume the regular schedule after the weather clears
and the track is dried, within a reasonable time frame. If this becomes
impossible, then no championship points or pay out will be awarded to any driver
in any division.
B. Should inclement weather develop after qualifying, such that no racing
will be possible in any division within a reasonable time frame, championship
points will be awarded based on qualifying for those divisions that qualified. Last
place points will be awarded to all drivers in divisions that drew for position with
last place being determined by the number of drivers present for that night’s
event. Any invert that was determined by dice roll will be thrown out and not
considered. Drivers who would have been serving a “start in the rear” penalty for
their race will serve that penalty in the next event for their division.
C. Should inclement weather develop during the course of a racing event
that impedes the ability of track officials to complete the remainder of a race in
progress, the race shall be deemed official and the official finishing order will be
declared to be the running order of cars on track when caution is thrown for
weather and championship points will be awarded accordingly. Any and all races
completed prior to the interruption, will have championship points and payout
awarded according to the regular protocol. Any races not completed after an
event stoppage for weather will have points awarded according to the protocols
outlined in section B based on whether they qualified or drew for position.
D. In any unforeseen circumstance, at the discretion of track
management, management may elect to call a meeting with drivers in any
division to discuss how they wish to handle any given situation. In any scenario
where this occurs and a vote is taken, the majority vote of the drivers present will
rule. Keep in mind that track management reserves the right to make the final
decision on any scenario in any circumstance.
