- Notes
- ^ The Casey's General Store 150 presented by Vatterott College was held as a combined event, with competitors from the K&N Pro Series West competing along with competitors for the K&N Pro Series East. Unlike in previous years, drivers received points and statistical credit relative to the whole field in general, instead of relative to other drivers in their series. Also drivers were allowed to score points for both the East and West Series.
- ^ The first four races were part of the NAPA 500 Challenge, with a $100,000 reward to anyone who won all four races, $10,000 to anyone who finished in the Top 3 in all four races, $5,000 for a Top 5 classification in all four races and $1,000 for a Top 10 classification in all four races.[12]
