2019 FARC season

The 2019 Federated Automobile Racing Championships was the sixth season for the stock car sanctioning body FARC.

Pre-Season Changes
The FARC Lowe Dollar Series rolled out some changes to its race format and points system in 2019.

Best-of-8 Rule
The "Best of 10" rule introduced in 2018, which only counted a driver's 10 best results and dropped the rest, was changed to only count the best 8 results (furthermore, any points earned from the final race of the season would be included in the drivers' points tallies regardless of whether or not they had already raced eight time previously). This was done to further reduce the costs of remaining competitive in the series. With the schedule featuring 20 races, more than double of what a championship run required, some teams opted to field 2 drivers for the championship in a single car.

Points System
The FARC Lowe Dollar Series points system features 50 points-paying positions for each race weekend, regardless of how many cars each track will allow to start.

The payouts at the front of the field will once again be closer to each other, reversing the format change in 2018 that awarded 100 points to the winner, 80 for second, 70 for third, 60 for fourth, and 50 for fifth.

Double-Points Races
The season openening race in San Antonio paid double points.

Pre-Season Changes
A driver's best 7 results counted towards the championship, plus their result in the season finale.
