CARS Tour Sets 19-Race Slate For ’24

MOORESVILLE, N.C. - The newly-minted zMAX CARS Tour released its 2024 season schedule Monday at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

The upcoming calendar kicks off at Southern National Motorsports Park in Kenly, N.C., on Saturday, March 2, with a standalone race for the pro late model division.

The CARS Late Model Stock Tour will begin its season at the same track one week later, on March 9.

Highlighting the series schedule are back-to-back PLM and LMSC races at North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 14-15.

The zMAX CARS Tour will return to the five-eighths-mile short track on Oct. 19 for the season finale, where both series champions will be crowned.

“There is a lot to unpack and a lot to be excited about this season – two trips to North Wilkesboro and adding Orange County to the schedule,” said series co-owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. “It’s going to be tough competition for the drivers and a great show for our fans in the stands, and for those watching on FloRacing.”

For the second consecutive season, all 19 of the zMAX CARS Tour events will be livestreamed on FloRacing.

The video streaming service, which became the official streaming partner of zMAX CARS Tour earlier this year, is a subscription-based company dedicated to growing grassroots motorsports.

“We feel that CARS has truly become the premier short track asphalt tour in America, and we could not be happier to have the series back on FloRacing,” said Michael Rigsby, General Manager of FloRacing. “Dale and the entire team with CARS are committed to growing short track pavement racing, and that's truly evident by all they've done over the last year. 2024 is going to be a big, big year for CARS, and we are beyond thrilled to highlight that.”

“Our partnership with FloRacing has helped tremendously in building exposure and excitement around the zMAX CARS Tour,” added Earnhardt Jr. “I’m looking forward to continuing that.”
