Championship Overview |
The 2019 ASCC All American Racing Series Presented by Kenslo was the tenth season of the American Stock Car Championship since the revival of the series in 2010.
Pre-Season Notes[edit | edit source]
Saar, Lenard, and Inglesby return as the official OEMs of the series for the fifth and final year of the current contracts. While Saar and Lenard have expressed their interest in renewing their contracts, all signs point to Inglesby exiting the series after the season, threatening to leave a large hole in the current full-season grid of 33 unless a new OEM is found or Saar and Lenard issue more charters to pick up the slack. Inglesby has struggled in the series in recent seasons, with only Palmer Stiles taking Inglesby to victory lane during 2017 and 2018.
Lenard fueled rumors of entering their Lycoia brand in 2020 by supporting Greg Woodard's Texas 500 entry, a Lycoia-branded car under a Lenard charter.
The current playoff championship format, introduced in 2015 along with the OEM divisional structure, will remain with no changes.

During the first 16 races, each of the three divisions (Saar, Lenard, and Inglesby) will tally points traditionally.
After race 16, the ASCC Playoffs will begin. The top 5 in points from each division will be locked into Round One of the Playoffs, and have their points reset equally. The Texas 500 winner, if they are a full-time driver, will automatically advance to the Playoffs, no matter where they are in their division's standings.
After Round One of the Playoffs, the top 3 drivers in each division, plus the regular-season champions if they finish Round One outside of the top 3, will advance to Round Two and have their points reset equally again.
After Round Two, all three division leaders, plus the highest scoring runner-up across all three divisions, will advance to the Championship Race at Daytona. The highest finisher between these four drivers will be declared the ASCC champion.
