As of the Fall of 2025, the series' race format consists of the top 120 drivers qualifying in through a time trial. After this, they are split into 3 separate groups which sees them divided equally all the way from 1st to 120th. Each individual group goes through 2 heat races and a Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ). The top 8 from the feature races advance to the 2nd round feature race with the rest being thrown into the LCQ. From there, the top 10 in the LCQ advance to the 2nd round feature race, with the rest being eliminated, coming to a total field size of 26 for each group. From this, the top half of all 3 groups advance to the semifinals and come to a total field size of 39.
