- Notes
- ↑ The Southern Sizzler 150 was postponed from March 19 to April 2 because of persistent rain.[2]
- ↑ The Bush's Beans 150 was held as a combined event, with competitors from the Whelen Southern Modified Tour competing along with competitors for the Whelen Modified Tour. The race was run with a series-based point distribution, where drivers received points and statistical credit for their finish relative to other drivers in their series, not to the whole field in general.
- ↑ The Visit Martin County 150 was postponed from September 3 to September 11 due to the forecast for heavy rain and high winds as a result of Hurricane Hermine.[3]
