The “High 5” works like this:
Five drivers square off for the bonus prizes at the Silver 1000 on September 3, 2009. Those five drivers will be determined during the first four races of the season based on top five finishes in the feature races. GRP will award a very simple point formula based on 5,4,3,2,1 for positions 1 through 5. The top five drivers in High Five Points after the first four shows become eligible for the bonus at the Silver 1000. The highest finishing driver of those five will earn a $750 bonus while the second highest finisher will get $250. That means a total bonus of $1,000 will be paid out! The bottom three finishers unfortunately will earn nothing. Should the Silver 1000 rain out or another race end up being nixed by the weather and not made up in time, the Hibbing Labor Day race would be the fallback for the fifth race.
