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

All events except Daytona consisted of two races and points were awarded by aggregate times of the two:
| 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.
