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.

The CARS Tour season is down to just two races, with two drivers vying for the right to call themselves a champion. It’s the showdown everyone has been hoping for with Hampton, Virginia’s Connor Hall battling Chesapeake, Virginia’s Brenden “Butterbean” Queen, with just one point separating these two bitter rivals heading into Saturday’s showdown at Tri-County Speedway.

The zMAX CARS Tour heads to Tri-County Motor Speedway this weekend with heavy hearts amidst the ongoing cleanup in the Appalachian Mountains.

JR Motorsports announced today that Virginia native Connor Hall will be the new driver behind the wheel of the No. 88 Chevrolet for the organization’s championship-winning Late Model program. Additionally, as announced last week by JRM, Bass Pro Shops will be back on board as the primary partner for 20 Late Model events in 2025.

JR Motorsports announced Tuesday afternoon that two-time CARS Tour champion Carson Kvapil is being promoted to the NASCAR Xfinity Series as a full-time driver for the team in 2025.

As the communities of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee continue to deal with the devastation from last week’s Hurricane Helene, more and more members of the racing community in North Carolina are stepping up to lead collection drives to help aid those who were left stranded in the wake of the storm.

If you’ve ever wondered whether momentum in motorsports is a real thing, look no further than Brenden “Butterbean” Queen’s CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car victory on Saturday night at Tri-County Speedway.

The zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car and Pro Late Model divisions will shake off the weather blues from the rainout last week at North Wilkesboro Speedway with a trip to Tri-County Speedway on Saturday, May 25. The combined Late Model Stock Car and Pro Late Model fields will be chasing expanded winner’s purses in the first of the five enhanced-payout races this season. The second Tri-County race on Oct. 12 will also have the expanded purse, as will the to-be-rescheduled LMSC and Pro Late Model events at North Wilkesboro later this season and the Throwback 276 at Hickory (N.C.) Motor Speedway. Four former LMSC winners at Tri-County—Bobby McCarty, Mini Tyrell, Conner Jones and Landon Huffman–will be looking for another Tri-County triumph, while Caden Kvapil seeks to add a fourth win to his total in the Pro LM division. Current LMSC points leader Connor Hall will attempt to add to his margin, while co-Pro Late Model leaders Kaden Honeycutt and Spencer Davis will renew their battle for the top spot.

Just a few months into her first full asphalt Late Model season, Taylor Reimer is now a winner on the pavement.

Voting for the 2023 zMAX CARS Tour Most Popular Driver Award for both the Late Model Stock Car and Pro Late Model divisions is now open on FloRacing.com.

The CARS Tour has issued its penalties following the multiple incidents that took place during and at the conclusion of the Pro Late Model portion of last Saturday’s Blue Ridge 250 at Tri-County Motor Speedway, one of which will have a tremendous effect on the championship battle.

Brenden Queen has had nightmares about running out of fuel in August's Old North State Nationals at Tri-County Motor Speedway ever since. He's replayed it, thinking about what that night would have meant for him. He would have been $30,000 richer, and perhaps the CARS Tour championship would be much more within reach.

Claremont, North Carolina - Fresh off a breakout 2023 campaign, Claremont NC native, Landon Huffman, is set to drive a Jimmy Mooring Racing entry for the entirety of the 2024 CARS Tour late model stock season.

The CARS Tour returns to North Carolina’s Tri-County Motor Speedway this weekend for the first time since August’s thrilling Old North State Nationals that saw Landon Huffman go to victory lane and pocket a nice $30,000 check. With 30 cars entered for this Saturday’s 125-lap showdown, it’s sure to be another wild one.

There were times in the last few years where Landon Huffman thought his racing career would be over. There were times when he thought he'd be lucky to just be a weekly racer. There were plenty of times where he thought he'd never get the chance to prove what he could do on a big stage like the CARS Tour. There were also times where Huffman knew if he could just be given a chance that he could show everyone he belongs at the highest level of Late Model Stock Car racing.
