Officials from the new dual-division CARS Tour announced the inaugural schedule for the upcoming 2015 season.

The tour, featuring both Late Model Stock and Super Late Model classes, will kick off the 10-race season on March 28 and conclude October 11. Each event will feature an optional, tour sanctioned, test day prior to race day. In addition to the schedule release the individual tour logos for each division have been released to beginning branding for the upcoming season.

The first ever event of the CARS Tour will take place at North Carolina’s Southern National Motorsports Park. The 4/10th mile track will again make its mark on the tour on May 30. CARS Late Model Stock Tour drivers will be especially excited about the two dates after the facilities decision to not have Late Model Stock Cars as part of their weekly racing program.

From there teams, drivers, and fans can begin working their way back across the state with an April 18 date at Orange County Speedway followed by a May 9th date at Hickory Motor Speedway. The tour will revisit Orange County Speedway again on Aug. 1 with both dates marking the only Super Late Model racing held all season at the ultra-fast 3/8th mile track.

The wildcard of the schedule comes at the midpoint of the season as a “Friday Night under the Lights” race takes place at Tri-County Motor Speedway in Hudson, N.C. on June 12. The big event will mark the first time in the track’s history that it will host a true Super Late Model branded race.

The season wraps up at Hickory Motor Speedway on Oct. 11.
