Cable Customers: All that is necessary to order the event is a digital cable box on your TV. If you are not sure about the kind of box you have, contact your cable company and ask if you have a digital cable box that gets Pay-Per-View (PPV).

The more specific you are with the customer service representative, the easier it will be to place your order.

The 2010 event format has changed and will now be team-driven. There will be four teams, and each will represent one of the above four children’s hospitals. Each individual driver’s finishing position in the feature event will contribute to each team’s total score. The lowest team score wins, and only the top-five drivers from each team will be scored. For example, if Team Riley has finishes of first, fourth, seventh, 11th and 18th, respectively, from its top-five drivers, its score will be 41. In the event of a tie, the sixth driver will be scored.
An individual champion will also be crowned.
