Notes:

1.^ - The Daytona 200 was run as a single race rather than the aggregate of two heats that the other races used.

Points system edit

All events except Daytona consisted of two races and points were awarded by aggregate times of the two:[3]

Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Points 15 12 10 8 6 5 4 3 2 1

Only the five best results achieved by a rider counted towards the championship standings.[3]
