Notes:

1.^ - The Daytona 200 was run as a single race rather than the aggregate of two heats that the other races used.

Points system[edit]

All events except Daytona consisted of two races and points were awarded by aggregate times of the two:^[3]

Position	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Points	15	12	10	8	6	5	4	3	2	1

Only the five best results achieved by a rider counted towards the championship standings.^[3]
