Section One: Commissioner's Office
1.1 Commissioner's Role:
The Commissioner is the final authority on all league matters not otherwise delegated by
this Constitution. The Commissioner sets the competitive calendar, interprets this
Constitution when a dispute arises, and has final say over any decision made by a Deputy
Commissioner, League Director, or Committee that is appealed to their office.
1.1.1 Hearing of Constitutional Amendment
Any member of the Board of Governors or any Owner may petition the Commissioner's
Office to amend this Constitution. A petition must be submitted in writing and must state
the section to be amended, the proposed language, and the reasoning behind the change.
The Commissioner schedules a hearing before the Board of Governors within fourteen
(14) days of receiving a valid petition. An amendment passes with a two-thirds (2/3)
majority vote of the Board of Governors and takes effect at the start of the next
competition week unless the Commissioner designates an immediate effective date.
1.1.2 Letter of Understanding
When a rule is ambiguous or a situation arises that this Constitution does not directly
address, the Commissioner may issue a Letter of Understanding (LOU) clarifying how the
league will handle it going forward. An LOU does not itself amend this Constitution, but it
is binding precedent until superseded by a formal amendment or a later LOU.

1.1.3 Official Announcements
All binding league communications — schedule changes, rule clarifications, disciplinary
rulings, and competition updates — are issued as Official Announcements through the
league's designated communication channels. An announcement is only binding once
posted through an official channel; statements made informally by staff do not carry
constitutional weight.
1.1.4 Executive Orders
The Commissioner may issue an Executive Order to act immediately on a matter that
cannot wait for the normal amendment or hearing process (for example, an emergency
schedule change or an urgent conduct ruling). An Executive Order takes effect
immediately upon issuance and remains in force until the Board of Governors ratifies it,
modifies it, or until the Commissioner withdraws it. The Board of Governors reviews every
outstanding Executive Order at its next regular session.
1.1.5 Staff Training
The Commissioner's Office is responsible for training Deputy Commissioners, League
Directors, and Committee leaders on league procedure, this Constitution, and the tools
used to administer the league. No staff member may exercise authority under this
Constitution until they have completed the training required for their role.
1.2 Deputy Commissioners — League Directors
1.2.1 Management Assistance
Deputy Commissioners assist Owners and team Management with day-to-day
operational questions — scheduling, roster administration, and general procedure — and
escalate anything requiring a constitutional ruling to the Commissioner's Office.
1.2.2 Procedural Enforcement
Deputy Commissioners enforce league procedure as written: submission deadlines,
roster rules, and communication requirements. A Deputy Commissioner may issue a
procedural warning or a minor procedural penalty directly; any suspension or removal
requires referral to the Board of Governors.

1.2.3 Management Training
Deputy Commissioners and League Directors are responsible for onboarding and training
new team Management on league systems, submission procedures, and this Constitution.
1.2.4 Role of the Deputy Commissioner
A Deputy Commissioner acts on behalf of the Commissioner within the scope the
Commissioner assigns and reports directly to the Commissioner's Office. A Deputy
Commissioner's rulings may be appealed to the Commissioner.
1.3 League Directors
1.3.1 League Management
League Directors oversee the day-to-day running of their assigned series (Cup, Xfinity,
Truck, or ARCA) — standings, results processing, and communication with team
Management within that series — under the supervision of the Commissioner's Office.
1.4 Judicial Appeal Process and Player Representation
Any Player or Owner subject to a disciplinary ruling may appeal that ruling to the Board of
Governors within seventy-two (72) hours of the ruling being issued. A Player may
designate their team's Management or any league member in good standing to represent
them in an appeal hearing. The Board of Governors' decision on appeal is final unless the
Commissioner elects to review it directly.
1.5 Conduct
All Commissioner's Office staff are held to the league's conduct standards and are
subject to removal by the Commissioner for violations of this Constitution, abuse of
authority, or conduct that undermines the integrity of the league.
Section Two: Board of Governors
2.1 Role
The Board of Governors is the league's deliberative and judicial body. It hears
constitutional amendment petitions, rules on appeals from disciplinary decisions, and
votes on matters the Commissioner refers to it. The Board acts as a check on the
Commissioner's Office and on the Development Committee, and its decisions are binding
on all Owners, Management, and Players unless overturned by the Commissioner.
2.2 Suspensions
The Board of Governors reviews and votes on any suspension referred to it by a Deputy
Commissioner, League Director, or the Commissioner. A suspension vote requires a
simple majority of the Board present. The Board may uphold, reduce, extend, or overturn
the referred suspension, and may set conditions for reinstatement.
2.3 Board of Governors Vote
Each sitting Governor has one vote. A quorum is a majority of seated Governors. Votes are
decided by simple majority except where this Constitution requires a supermajority (such
as a constitutional amendment under 1.1.1, which requires a two-thirds majority). Ties are
broken by the Commissioner.
2.4 Board of Governors Selections
Governors are selected by the Commissioner's Office from among Owners and
Management in good standing, with consideration given to tenure, conduct record, and
representation across series and divisions. A Governor serves until they resign, are
removed for cause, or are replaced at the Commissioner's discretion at the start of a new
season.
2.5 Conduct
Governors are held to the same conduct standards as every other league member and are
subject to removal from the Board for conflicts of interest, abuse of their position, or
violations of this Constitution. A Governor must recuse themselves from any vote directly
involving their own team or its Players.
Section Three: Development Committee
3.1 Committee Leader
The Development Committee is led by a Committee Leader appointed by the
Commissioner's Office. The Committee Leader is responsible for the pipeline of new and
developing drivers into the league, and reports on pipeline health to the Commissioner's
Office and the Board of Governors.
3.2 Driver's Education
The Development Committee runs onboarding for new drivers — covering league rules, in
game procedure, and communication expectations — before a new driver is placed on a
roster. A driver may not be rostered to a Cup Series team until they have completed
Driver's Education or received a waiver from the Committee Leader.
3.3 Polling the Players for Their Vote
The Development Committee is responsible for running player-wide polls on competitive
and procedural matters the Board of Governors or Commissioner refers to it (for example,
proposed rule changes affecting gameplay). Poll results are advisory and are presented to
the Board of Governors as part of its deliberation, but do not bind the Board's vote.
3.4 Conduct
Development Committee members are held to the league's conduct standards and may
be removed by the Commissioner for failing to carry out their duties, misrepresenting poll
results, or violations of this Constitution.
Intentional wrecking is strictly prohibited and will result in a 25-point deduction and possible suspension. Racing incidents will be reviewed by race stewards. All incidents should be reported with video evidence within 24 hours of the race.
Qualifying sessions will be held prior to each race. Fastest single lap determines grid position. If qualifying is not possible, points order (or sign-up order for opening race) determines starting grid.
All race payouts are set by the League Administrator prior to each event. Drivers receive their posted payout per their finishing position. Racing teams receive 15% of each contracted driver race earnings automatically. Contract terms are binding for the duration of the agreed period.
All races are conducted on Xbox or PlayStation consoles as designated by the league. Drivers must use the current supported NASCAR title. Controller modifications that provide unfair advantage are prohibited.
Any protest must be filed within 48 hours of the race result being posted. Protests must include video evidence and a $500 virtual protest fee (deducted from driver earnings if protest is denied). The Race Director decision is final.
