  • The pole winner also receives 1 bonus point, similar to the previous ARCA points system used until 2019 and unlike NASCAR.[75]
  • Additionally, after groups of 5 races of the season, drivers that compete in all 5 races receive 50 additional points.[75] This points bonus will be given after the race at Dover.
