They can release their driver if twice they finish worse than the expected finish for their car in a certain year, set at a certain level each year by AARL - for 2011 it is set at 18th or worse. If the driver is to win a race, they have automatic entry into the next AARL 1 race.

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

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

At the start of the season, if a rookie has not raced seven AARL Two 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.
