Under the ownership of NASCAR legend Kevin Harvick, the CARS Tour West continues its expansion with the reveal of a Southwest Pro Late Model division.
This will be a 10-race division that competes across Arizona, California and Nevada – starting with the 13th annual Chilly Willy at Tucson Speedway on January 17 and runs through Kern County Raceway Park on October 17. It also includes events at Stockton 99 Speedway, Orange Show Speedway and All-American Speedway in addition two stops at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Bullring.
There will also be a Southwest versus Northwest Series crossover series in the form of the Mark Galloway Shootout at Evergreen Speedway on June 27 and then at the Summer Nationals at Colorado National Speedway on August 1.
“We’re very proud of the Spears CARS Tour West lineup for 2026 with the addition of the Southwest and Northwest divisions,” said Tim Huddleston, series co-owner. “It took a lot of effort from everyone involved, but it’s incredibly satisfying to see it all come together. The Northwest-versus-Southwest rivalry races are sure to be a crowd pleaser with major bragging rights on the line for the competitors in the two divisions. It’ll be some intense racing.”
Each race will feature a minimum purse of $7,500 to win and $1,500 to start.
