The zMAX CARS Tour announced its 2025 schedule on Monday afternoon, with an impressive 15-race schedule featuring some big changes. The Southeast’s premier Late Model Stock Car and Pro Late Model touring series will kick off its season on Saturday, March 1, and conclude its season seven months later on Saturday, October 18.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. The CARS Tour just does not disappoint. That was the theme at the end of a topsy-turvy rough-and-tumble 125-lap brawl for the Late Model Stock Cars on Wednesday night at Caraway Speedway that eventually saw Brent Crews escape as the winner for the second time this season.

This week’s Firecracker 265 at Caraway Speedway in Sophia, N.C. promises to bring some thunder and lightning to the zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car and Pro Late Model ranks. The point battles in both divisions are tight: Connor Hall leads Brenden Queen by just three markers in the Late Model Stock Car category, and the top six are separated by just 27. In Pro Late Model, Spencer Davis has a two-point advantage on Kaden Honeycutt, with just a 19-point difference among the top four. The mid-week race also will see the addition of some firepower in the form of Daytona 500 winner (and former CARS Tour regular) William Byron from the NASCAR Cup Series and current NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series title contender Corey Heim to the LMSC field. Jared Fryar, the 2020 Late Model Stock Car series champion in the zMAX CARS Tour, is slated to make his season debut following his recovery from a non-racing injury suffered just before the 2024 season opener. Fryar is also an ace at Caraway, winning twice and posting four top-five finishes in his five starts on the quick oval.

With eight races in the books, the zMAX CARS Tour championship battles can be summed up with just one word: insane.

Brenden Queen did all he could do at Caraway Speedway. He put his Lee Pulliam Performance No. 03 on the pole, which clinched him the most poles bonus point. He led a lap and got a bonus point there.

But in the end, it still wasn't enough to overcome his 21-point gap entering the race weekend to Carson Kvapil.
