3.       Should the Division Champion be unable to attend an alternate will be selected in the following manner: 1st alternate will be Race of Champions winner for bracket; 2nd alternate would be event runner-up; 3rd alternate would be Race of Champions runner-up.  In the case of Division 6 & 7, reverse the reference of the event and Race of Champions, since their Race of Champions winner is actually the NHRA Summit National Championship qualifier.
