The members of Auto Racing Research Associates (ARRA) have adopted
their criteria for determining what constitutes a legitimate feature
event win. While there is no industry-wide baseline for determining
what is and what is not a feature win…the members of ARRA have taken
steps to begin to establish a standard to which an event can be measured
up against. It is our hope that by starting a discussion on the
subject, there can be an industry-wide, generally accepted standard.
That being said, we will from this point forward be using this criteria
to determine what is a legitimate feature event win. In those cases
where an event falls outside of our criteria, yet is deemed by others to
constitute a feature event win…we will note the occurrence separately
but not include it in that particular drivers career win total. We will
also point out where it went astray from our criteria guidelines.

The adopted criteria that we here at ARRA use to determine what is and what is not a feature win:
(1) Any race conducted at a speedway that charges admission to
spectators, licenses competitors to compete under a common set of rules
and regulations, and that either allows all entrants to compete, or
draws its starting field from the totality of the general entry through
typical qualifying procedures or assignment should be designated as an
ARRA-endorsed feature win for its winner.
(2) Any race that divides the totality of the general entry into
groups - Feature Winners Races, Non-Feature Winners Races, Champions
Races, Australian Pursuits, Races Of States, Reverse Races, Future Stars
Races, Super DIRT Series Qualifying Heat Races, "Split Field Qualifying
Features or similar should not be considered an ARRA-endorsed feature
win.
(3) Photo finishes, ties, or races in which published rulings have
led to more than one feature winner being declared by the speedway
should be credited by ARRA as feature wins for each winner, with
asterisk/footnote added.
(4) Races in which apparent winners have been subsequently reported
as disqualified (and/or reinstated) should be examined on a case by case
basis by ARRA and a determination made as to the rightful winner or
winners. In the same respect, if a situation arises that rests outside
of the scope of the criteria, we will examine the situation and render a
decision as to how it applies to our stated criteria |
