WHEATLAND, MO (April 1) - I-80 Speedway has established the Cubby's Chase to the Silver Dollar Nationals race to be held on Friday, July 17. The race will be held after all other Silver Dollar National events have been concluded on that night. To qualify points will be awarded for both nights of the Spring Meltdown (April 3 & 4) as well as the Alphabet Soup Race on June 26. Each winner of these three races is automatically qualified into the chase. If a driver repeats as a winner, then the runner-up to that driver in his second win qualifies.
 
Feature race points for all three races will be awarded as follows: (second) 100 (third) 96 (fourth) 94 and then a drop of two points per position for the rest of the A feature. First place will receive no points as they are automatically qualified for the Chase. All other cars will receive 40 points.
 
The top four in Chase points (not including the winners) also qualify for the Chase. The top two in each series (CBC, MLRA, SLMR) points (not including any of the above) are also qualified. Finally, the winners of the following SLMR Super Series races (Friday, June 5 at I-80 Speedway, Saturday, June 6 at Adams County Speedway, Thursday, July 2 at US 30 Speedway and Thursday, July 16 at I-80) also qualify for the Chase race. If a driver is a previous winner then we will take the runner-up to that driver in his second win. Finally, the driver receiving the most votes in the Cubby's fan favorite voting will be added to the field.
