LOL. Steven Wallace is a mid-packer even against THIS field?

One word: overrated
But anyway, is this like a new series? Never seen it before

No this is the completely revamped USAR/CARS Pro Cup series. Now running
a Latemodel format.

The switch to the Late Model cars made a huge difference in terms of
field size. Last year, this series was struggling to get half the number
of cars that this race had.

What sort of cars did they race in previous seasons?

The Pro Cup series used steel bodied cars with built engines. Back in
the mid-2000's that style was quite common and Pro Cup cars could be
easily converted to run other series, but that hasn't been the case for
many years. They were expensive to maintain and repair, and the collapse
of the media coverage and sponsorship in the series led to the tour
running "open" events that allowed Pro Cup, K&N, and late models to race
in 2012. (USAR Hooter's Pro Cup became the CARS Tour a few years ago.)

Now the CARS series runs two divisions, super late models and regular
late models. The Supers are basiaclly the same cars that run nationwide:
the ARCA/CRA Super Series, PASS, Southern Super Series, SRL Southwest
tour, ARCA Midwest Tour - basically ABC bodied cars with an option of
built or crate engines (all these series have their own rules, but are
essentially the same thing).

The Late Model Stock Car division is actually the remnants of the UARA
tour that was active in the Carolinas and Virginia. These cars are the
same as the NASCAR weekly series late models.

I have to admit I was skeptical that this would ever work out, but I
have to eat my crow and congratulate them for a job well done. Hopefully
we won't see any four-car races for many, many years...

A beautiful revival for a fallen series. Last year they struggled to get
ten cars on the grid, and now take a look. By switching to the more
standard and readily available car types, they have started to come
close to what they once were. A couple races on tape delay and it'll be
complete, though I don't quite see that happening anytime too soon since
an American channel dedicated to motorsport like Speed no longer really
exists.

@7
MavTV might sign up for something like that. Maybe NBC Sports or CBS
Sports if you cut them a deal.

Nice to see these results here, I was afraid they wouldn't make it to
this site.

@Number 10,

Same here. I was thinking once USAR went down, that no one would post
them. :(

There is hope!!!

Agreed... this is getting out of hand. I know money talks, but you can't
convince me a 13 year old is ready to drive these things.

Considering that even younger drivers are racing, and winning, reality
isn't waiting around for you to be convinced.

Not saying I agree with allowing it, but the fact is some are.

Its funny, that you've never had to run against a legacy like YOUR dad..
he might not be as good.. but at least he's trying.

Maturity is a different issue here. So insulting me accomplishes nothing
when neither of us are right yet. Kyle Busch has almost 200 wins in the
top-3 series, but he is nowhere the hell near mature enough to drive the
cars. Maturity is a relevant issue, but there is an exceeding double
standard when you have 12-year olds winning PASS races, yet a 15-year
old can't drive a car on the highway.

Cole Timm puts his name in the record book as the CARS Super Late Model
Tour's first winner.

Christopher Bell's runner-up finish made this his only start of the 2015
CARS Super Late Model season that didn't end with him in victory lane.
