Notes:

  • The pole winner also receives one bonus point, similar to the previous ARCA points system used until 2019 and unlike NASCAR.[47]
  • Additionally, after groups of five races of the season, drivers that compete in all five races receive fifty additional points.[47] This points bonus will be given after the race at Iowa.

(key) Bold – Pole position awarded by time. Italics – Pole position set by final practice results or rainout. * – Most laps led.
