Tulsa Shootout Format Explained: Here's How They Get From 460+ To 24

Breaking down the massive Tulsa Shootout format that will be used to whittle down gigantic fields to 24 feature starters.

Dec 22, 2025 by FloRacing Staff

With more than 1,930 entries, a new all-time record, the Tulsa Shootout requires an effective agenda to whittle down gigantic numbers like 462 cars in one class to strictly 24 feature starters.

How on earth is it possible to get all this done in such a timely manner? Well, passing points is the name of the game.

The easiest description of the passing points chart (included below) can be broken down by finishing points AND THEN passing points. By position, drivers earn 100 for 1st - 93 for 2nd - 86 for 3rd - it’s a 7-point drop per spot. Then, you add in passing points, which is +5 for every position advanced and -1.5 for every position lost.

A look at the passing points chart for the Tulsa Shootout.

It all starts with pill draw, ironically one of the most important moments of the week. The four major divisions feature upwards of 40+ Heat Races, thus creating a huge divide in passing points and plenty of crucial tiebreakers. Some will win from the pole, others will charge from 8th, there will be those losing spots, and generally every situation occurs at least once.

Following Heat Races, the top 112 in passing points advance to 8 Qualifiers (14 cars in each) with a four-car inversion in effect. That’s where the bubble gets more intense, with the top-32 points-getters involved in said inversion. Thus, high point man starts 4th in his Qualifier with ample opportunity to gain more points. The hardcore cutoff is that line between 32-33, which is the difference between starting on the pole and starting 5th.

Those missing the cut for Qualifiers are sent to E-Mains, D-Mains, and C-Mains to begin their alphabet soup bids.

In Qualifiers, which are often some of the most intense races of the week, drivers fight for more passing points. When its all said and done, only the TOP 16 in combined points will lock-in for their respective main event. Drivers 17th-112th split into 8 B-Mains, and from there, the Last Chance Qualifier sends the final eight drivers into the big dance.

Once the full 24-car field in each division is set, it’s game on Saturday night. With the iconic Golden Driller on the line, you never know what to expect come main event time.

With car count numbers rising, we’ve seen some crazy passing point numbers be posted over the years - such as an Outlaw Non-Wing A-Main setting the all-time record for top-16 cutoff at 216 PTS. Simply put, you truly need a bit of luck on your side at the Tulsa Shootout, but you still better be on your A-game every time you roll onto the track.
