2020 RROL NOMAD season

The 2020 RROL NOMAD season is the second season of the RROL’s North-Atlantic Open-Wheel Modified Asphalt Division.

Like in the inaugural 2019 season, Faber Fabrication continues as the exclusive chassis supplier to the Nomads; Goodyear serves as the tire provider. However, for both Faber and Goodyear, their exclusive NOMAD contracts are up at the end of the 2020 season.

Changes
A tweaked version of the Faber Acromion chassis will be used in 2020, with a larger front grille placed higher on the nose compared to the 2019 version.

South Boston Speedway and the road course at New Hampshire Motor Speedway do not return to the schedule in 2020. Martinsville Speedway and Beltsville Speedway are new additions to the 2020 NOMAD schedule.

The highest finishing driver in the overall championship with less than 4 NOMAD starts prior to the 2020 season will be awarded Rookie of the Year.

Format

 * Maximum 36 entries per round
 * 30 minute open practice
 * Single-car two-lap qualifying

The round held at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway is an exception to the typical format; where instead of one 100 mile race, there are two 50 mile races.

Point System
Bonus: +1 for leading (being scored in the lead for at least one lap)

Knockout Cup

Knockout Heat 2 8 drivers, rounds 10 and 11. Active knockout competitors that win advance to the final heat. 4 drivers advance, 4 are eliminated.

Rookie of the Year
The following drivers are eligible for the Rookie of the Year award. A driver is no longer eligible for ROTY once they have made at least 4 NOMAD starts prior to a new season.
