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.

On Tuesday afternoon, the CARS Tour Appeals Panel voted to amend the penalty levied against Chad Bryant Racing for an unapproved part on Treyten Lapcevich’s No. 77 Late Model Stock Car following the event at North Wilkesboro Speedway earlier this month.

One week after the most competitive race in the history of the zMAX CARS Late Model Stock Car Tour at Ace Speedway, many of those same competitors are set to do battle once again right in North Carolina’s state capital of Raleigh.

On Monday afternoon, zMAX CARS Tour officials unveiled their 19-race schedule for the 2024 season, which will kick off at Southern National Motorsports Park in March, and end at the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway in mid-October.

For the fifth time this season, defending CARS Tour champion Carson Kvapil was the one taking pictures and spraying the champagne in victory lane, but this time he really had to work for it. A terrible qualifying effort resulted in Kvapil starting from the 18th position in the 21-car starting field on the tight confines of Wake County Speedway. Kvapil slowly and methodically worked his way through the field and eventually into the lead.

One week after holding its biggest race of the year in the Old North State Nationals at Tri-County Motor Speedway, the Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour will travel to the smallest track on the schedule in Wake County Speedway for the Drive for Puryear 125.

Wake County Speedway is the site of the final standalone Solid Rock Carriers CARS Pro Late Model Tour event of the 2023 season.
