Local, State, Regional &
National Races
For starters, you will probably just race at your local track. But over time you will hear about "multi-point" races, often at other tracks, that have double, triple or even quadruple points awards. Competing in a certain number of these races is generally required to qualify for, or recommended to place well in, season-end championships. Here's a breakdown:
