SECTION 1 GENERAL RULES
DISCLAIMER The rules and regulations set forth herein are designed to provide for the orderly conduct of racing events, and to establish minimum acceptable requirements for such events. These rules shall govern the condition of all events, and by participating in these events, all participants are considered to have agreed to comply with these rules. NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SAFETY SHALL RESULT FROM THIS PUBLICATION OR COMPLIANCE WITH THESE RULES AND/OR REGULATIONS. They are intended as a guide for the conduct of the sport and are in no way a guarantee against injury or death to a participant, spectator or official.
The race director shall be empowered to permit minor deviations from any the specifications herein or impose further restrictions that in his opinion do not alter the minimum safety requirements. NO EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF SAFETY SHALL RESULT FROM SUCH ALTERATIONS OR SPECIFICATIONS. Any interpretation of, or deviation from these rules is left to the discretion of the officials. Their decisions are final.

1. Each driver, car owner and crewmember is responsible for being familiar with the rules of NASCAR and Ace Speedway, including the official flag rules.
2. Ace Speedway reserves the right to add to, delete, supersede or modify any rules, exhibits or drawings that Ace Speedway deems necessary for the betterment and/or for the safety of auto racing. Any changes from the printed rulebook will be issued in writing in the form of an amendment. Amendments will be posted at the track and printed copies will be available to the competitors. No track official will have the authority to verbally approve any rule change without subsequent written documentation in the form of an amendment.
3. The decisions of the track officials on the interpretation and application of the rules, scoring, flagging and race procedure are final.
4. No driver, car owner or crewmember shall bring any claim for damages, expenses, etc. against Ace Speedway or any Ace Speedway officials.
5. Entrants are independent contractors entering a sporting event to compete for prize money. There is no right to race. Ace Speedway reserves the right to refuse the entry of any car, driver, car owner or crewmember. Furthermore, Ace Speedway reserves the right to revoke or cancel any entry, or any participants claimed right to be on the track premises, if it is felt or determined that a participant’s presence or conduct is not in the best interest of the sport of auto racing, the other competitors, the spectators, Ace Speedway management and/or staff.  In the interest of competition, Ace Speedway Management reserves the right to request that any driver or competitor be moved to a higher or lower level (Division) of competition.
 6. Each driver must be properly registered with Ace Speedway to be allowed to compete. Registration consists of a driver completing a driver registration sheet and a race car information sheet. Both sheets must be filled out completely and turned in to the Speedway office, the race night registration/sign-in office, the NASCAR Chief Steward or your division inspector. Drivers will not be allowed to compete without being properly registered with the Speedway.
7. Each driver must provide complete tax reporting information on their driver registration sheet. If a driver’s tax reporting situation changes during the season, it is the responsibility of the driver to notify the Ace Speedway office of such change immediately. Otherwise, year end tax reporting will be done according to the original information provided by the driver in their driver registration sheet.
8. Every driver must inspect the racing surface and the race track area to learn of any defects, obstructions, or anything that, in the driver’s opinion, is unsafe. Any driver entering any racing event is considered to have inspected the track and determined that all conditions are satisfactory. If the driver does not feel that conditions are satisfactory, then the driver should not race. The driver further acknowledges that the driver is aware that auto racing involves risks and that by competing in an event the driver assumes these risks with full awareness and knowledge.
9. It is the responsibility of each competitor to prepare his or her race car to meet the safety and technical requirements for participating in a race event, and for the racing division being competed in. By entering a race event at the Speedway, a competitor certifies that his or her race car meets all of the safety and technical requirements for participating in a race event in the division being competed in.
10. Any participant (driver, car owner, crewmember or spectator) injured at the Speedway must report the injury, in detail, to their division official and/or the NASCAR chief steward before leaving the Speedway!! Failure to report an injury before leaving the track will nullify any claim.
11. Insurance provided through a competitors NASCAR membership, or through the Speedway for non-NASCAR competitors, is supplemental to the competitors primary insurance coverage. To file a claim with either of these supplemental insurers, the competitor must have reported the injury, in detail, to their division official and/or the NASCAR chief steward before leaving the Speedway!! Failure to have reported an injury before leaving the track will nullify any claim. The competitor must first file a claim with their primary insurer. If any or all of that claim is denied by the primary insurer the competitor must turn in, to the Speedway office, the written notice from the primary insurer that they have denied the claim. The competitor must also turn in to the Speedway office the original copies of the medical bills that were denied by the primary insurer. All information will then be forwarded to the proper insurer for processing of the claim.
