2025 East Coast Legend Series Rules Updates
1. Drivers who do not qualify or start a feature will now receive 40 show-up points. Again in in 2025, feature winners receive an additional 10 points. Feature Winners will now receive 110 points. The difference in points between first and second is now 13 points. The point difference between 24th and those who do not qualify/start a feature is now 19 points. This does not alter how INEX points are awarded. In a case where show-up points are awarded, this point differential will not be applicable
2. In 2025, The East Coast Legend Series will continue the Rookie Rule (with changes). For a Rookie's first FIVE events, he/she will be required to start at the rear of heat races ONLY. After the driver's respective heat race, the driver will then start in either the A/B Main in the qualified spot from the heat race. If the event has time trials/hot lap time trials, Rookies will start in the qualified position posted from time trials. Rookies will be required to have their rear bumpers, and new for 2025 their front bumpers, painted or taped yellow from bumper tab to bumper tab or rear horn to rear horn, and the bumpers must remain yellow for the duration of the season. Rookie drivers are those with NO prior Legends experience or less than FIVE Legends events as a driver. After the completion of a Rookie's first FIVE events, the driver will not be required to adhere to the Rookie Rule UNLESS the Series race director feels it's warranted based on performance shown by driver.
3. In 2025, a driver will be allowed to miss/drop TWO races. For example, if a driver does not attend two races, it will not count against him/her. If a driver attends all the races, then he/she will be allowed to drop their two worst finishes. If a driver does not attend one race, then that race will not count against said driver, and the driver will then be allowed to drop his/her worst finish for another race until the race tally reaches two. This miss/drop procedure will be in effect through the August 30 event at Winchester Speedway. Following that event, drivers will have their misses/drops calculated, and the remainder of the points season will be run "heads up" points and no misses/drops will be allowed. If a driver chooses to run a Legends event outside of the East Coast Series on the same night that the East Coast Series has a race, then that driver will not be allowed to use that date as a miss/drop. If an event is canceled, the miss/drop procedure does not apply.
4. Regarding the event at Action Track USA. The winner receives 110 points. All other drivers attending that event will receive 100 show-up points regardless of finishing position. Drivers who do not attend the Action Track event will be allowed to drop that race, provided that they have not already extinguished his/her two MISS races prior to the event. Hagerstown Speedway events will no longer be show-up points. Those events are regular East Coast points races.
