RACE STRUCTURE
Side-by-Side. Heads-Up. No Gimmicks — Just Racing.
Premier Mega Truck Racing uses a bracket-style, heads-up format that keeps every round intense.
1. Qualifying or Random Seeding:
Drivers are seeded into a bracket (varies per event). Once the bracket is set, a chip draw is conducted for each round to determine brackets, lanes, and breakout times.
2. Chip Draw (Every Round):
A chip draw is held before each round to set brackets, lane assignments, and breakout times for that round.
3. Side-by-Side Passes:
Two trucks launch at the same time. First to the finish line wins the round… as long as they don’t get penalized.
4. Penalties That Can Change Everything:
Based on the race rules, a driver can lose a round for:
Red-lighting
Running off course
Hitting cones/poles
5. Winners Move Forward, Losers Move to a Redemption Round:
Losers move to an optional redemption round after the first round. Losers from the first round have the option to buy back into the second round.
6. Finals & Victory Lane:
Each class builds toward a final showdown. Winners take home trophies, payouts, and season points.
Course varies by venue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring with me as a driver?
Drivers should arrive with all required safety gear, including a helmet, fire suit, gloves, and any additional equipment required by their class rules. You’ll also want to bring your vehicle credentials, tools, spare parts, and anything you need to make adjustments throughout the day. Reviewing the class rules ahead of time helps ensure a smooth check-in.
Is the driver meeting mandatory?
Yes. All drivers are required to attend the driver meeting. Important information is covered, including event flow, staging procedures, safety reminders, and any track-specific updates. Missing the driver meeting may result in penalties or loss of runs.
How many passes will I get per event?
The number of passes per event can vary based on class size, track conditions, and schedule timing. Every effort is made to give drivers multiple opportunities to compete, but the exact number of passes is not guaranteed and may change on race day.
Are redemption or loser rounds guaranteed?
No. Redemption or loser rounds are not guaranteed and depend on time, weather, and overall event flow. If additional rounds are available, they will be announced during the driver meeting or over the PA system.
How does staging work?
Staging is typically called by class and run order. Drivers are expected to be fully ready when their class is called, including safety gear on and vehicles prepped. Failure to report to staging when called may result in forfeiting a pass.
What disqualifies a pass?
A pass may be disqualified for reasons including, but not limited to:
Crossing boundary lines or leaving the designated course
Unsafe driving or loss of control
Mechanical failure that causes a safety concern
Failure to follow staging or starter instructions
Final calls are made by event officials and are focused on safety and fairness.
