Notes:

  • The pole winner also receives one bonus point, similar to the previous ARCA points system used until 2019 and unlike NASCAR.[34]
  • Additionally, after groups of five races of the season, drivers that compete in all five races receive fifty additional points.[34] These points bonuses will be given after the races at Colorado and Madera.
