Season Overview |
The 2020 RROL NOMAD season is the second season of the RROL’s North-Atlantic Open-Wheel Modified Asphalt Division and the 18th season of RROL-sanctioned competiton.
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.
Mike Falls of Rick Jarrett Racing returns to defend his 2019 championship. Frank Azzaretto, who was also a threat for the overall championship, won the 2019 NOMAD Knockout Cup.
Changes[edit | edit source]
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 eligible driver in the overall championship with less than 4 NOMAD starts prior to the 2020 season will be awarded Rookie of the Year.
Format[edit | edit source]
- Maximum 36 entries per round
- 30 minute open practice
- Single-car two-lap qualifying
- Race of approximately 100 miles
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.
