The Dash Cup Rookies Only Race is an annual Dash Cup pre-season exhibition race open only to the members of that season's rookie class.

The race format was borrowed from the FARC Lowe Dollar Series (formerly the ARLA Elite Series), which holds the annual Apex Racing School Rookie Shootout.

History[edit | edit source]

The Rookies Only Race started in 2015 and was held at the Toddring road course. With the change from touring car to stock car bodies, the 2016 event was held on the Toddring's superspeedway configuration.

The 2016 event was the first to pay championship points to the winner, as Emily Brannagan won from the pole and collected 25 points towards the championship.
