    Beginning in the  1998 season, when the mid-season Pepsi 300 was implemented, the Speedbowl has held 3 extra distant events for each of its weekly Saturday divisions. The Budweiser Modified Nationals, which began the year before in 1997, and the The Finale book-end each point championship season while the Pepsi 300 is mid-season extra distant event that features time trial qualifying for each of the NASCAR Weekly divisions. Together, they form the Waterford Speedbowl Triple Crown.   
    The races' formats have changed a bit over the first 10 seasons. The Modified Nationals originally featured a 200-lap SK Modified event. In 2000, the race was called official after 101 laps due to rain. Beginning the following season in 2001, the distance was shortened to 150. Late Models run 50 laps, while Sportsman and Mini Stocks run 30 lap features. The format for both the Pepsi 300 and Final are nearly identical - 100 lap features for the SK Modifieds and Late Models and 50 lap features for the Sportsman and Mini Stocks - the only difference being the time trial qualifying for the Pepsi 300, which was originally a double point event for all divisions from 1998-2000.
