The selected participants will be judged on a point system by existing NASCAR drivers as well as other established and well-known pit crew personnel, etc. Areas of judging will include, but will not be limited to: raw talent, on-camera appearance and personality, overall racing desire and on-track racing abilities. Test, trials and actual races will be held weekly to earn contestants points that will determine such things as rewards and pole position.
