Race weekend for the South Carolina 400 at Florence Motor Speedway is finally here, and that means that the reunion we’ve all been waiting for since 2007 is finally upon us. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is finally back in Budweiser red and black with the red Bud No. 8 ready to take to the track.

The biggest race of the 2024 Late Model Stock Car season is finally upon us this weekend with the running of the 32nd Annual South Carolina 400 at Florence Motor Speedway. More than 55 cars have entered. Dale Earnhardt Jr. has entered. The Budweiser No. 8 car is back. There’s so much happening that we figured we needed to get you all up to speed with one neat and tidy article to tie everything together. So, let’s get started.

We’re less than a week out from the 32nd Annual South Carolina 400 at Florence Motor Speedway, and what has been considered by many to be one of the biggest Late Model Stock Car races of the year is cementing its place as the biggest. Nearly 60 drivers have filed an entry to race for this end-of-year crown jewel victory, including Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the return of the iconic red Budweiser No. 8 car.

Making the leap from the virtual racing world to the real world is not an easy task. But some drivers, like William Byron, who just won the Daytona 500 this year and competed for the NASCAR Cup Series championship, have made it happen.

For the 59th time, one of the most prestigious Super Late Model races will take place this weekend. It’s the Florida Governor’s Cup weekend at New Smyrna Speedway, and we have everything you need to know, from the entry list to the schedule of events for the two-day weekend, and much more.

One of the most successful teams in the zMAX CARS Tour is teaming up with one of the sport’s bright young stars. 16-year old open-wheel Modified standout Carson Loftin will pilot the No. 22 Nelson Motorsports Toyota full-time in 2025.

Justin Bonsignore cemented himself as one of the all-time greats of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour on Saturday night at Martinsville Speedway.

Now that we know Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Budweiser have reunited to bring the iconic red No. 8 car back to the race track for November’s South Carolina 400 at Florence Motor Speedway, is there a chance we can see that race car at more Late Model Stock Car races in 2025?

For the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, it all comes down to one more Saturday night showdown, this time at the historic Martinsville Speedway. Justin Bonsignore has retaken the points lead as he looks for his fourth championship, while Ron Silk looks to stage an epic one-race comeback to claim his second championship in a row and third overall. And don’t count out Patrick Emerling either as he’s still mathematically alive and looking for his first championship.

North Wilkesboro Speedway is now in the books and it will go down as one of the most dominant performances of Justin Bonsignore’s illustrious career. He may not have started from the pole, and he may not have led every lap, but he left only five cars on the lead lap and won by 6.473 seconds at the historic facility.

The NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour is finally set to do battle on the newly repaved North Wilkesboro Speedway this weekend after a few weeks’ delay, and some of the best in pavement Modified racing are ready to go for the win in the Tour’s penultimate race of the 2024 season. Let’s give a quick snapshot at the entry list as the super tight championship battle draws to a close.

A couple of crucial career milestones for Justin Bonsignore were reached during Sunday’s World Series 150 at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park.

So, let’s begin our breakdown of the entry list to see who has the best chance of taking down the victory on Sunday evening.

For the last year and a half, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour has felt like a two-horse race. Ron Silk versus Justin Bonsignore. Two championships versus three. Haydt Yannone Racing versus Ken Massa Motorsports. Phil Moran versus Ryan Stone. But not anymore. Patrick Emerling has arrived.
