AARL Two 2013 Season

Prospect, Present, Past All Star Race

The 2013 season was the tenth American Autosport Racing League One Season.

It was Toyota's first season in AARL One, and they won the very first race of the season, with Tyler Welsh winning for HYT Racing. This caused a large stir, with speculation coming that the Toyota's had an advantage that race.

Borland Racing won their third championship in a row, with Julee Merrick earning her second. Merrick would only win a single race in the 2013 season, with Sara Swayne finishing runner up, with two wins.

Despite having eight rookies in the field the year prior, with half of them still being eligible, there was not a single rookie that competed in the 2013 season.

NEEDThe Most Popular Driver Award was won by Doug DeHart, his first since 2008. It was his fifth time earning the award. This would also mark a Borland Racing driver earning the award for five seasons in a row.

## Rookie of the Year

There were no eligible rookies for the 2013 season, so Rookie of the Year was not awarded.

Rookie Points System (Unchanged) - The highest finishing rookie in a race earns ten points, the second nine and so on.

They score points in their three best races each half of the season, and one extra race.

If a rookie wins a race, they earn ten bonus points, if they finish second nine and so on.

The rookie highest in the championship standings at season's end earns ten bonus points, second place earns nine and so on.

At the start of the season, if a rookie has not raced seven AARL One races in their career, they may opt out of earning Rookie of the Year points, and be applicable the next year. If at any point in a season they would race their seventh race, their egibility for next year would be revoked, but they would be eligible for the current year.

If a rookie only raced for their manufacturer's team, after winning an AARL 2 race, they would not be eligble for rookie of the year, and any races they race will not count to the rookie cap of six or less races to be able to opt out of the rookie point standings.
