CARS Tour West introduces the Hoosier Tire West Triple Crown for its Pro Late Model division, a three-race challenge that will award $20,000 in bonus money during the 2026 season.
The Triple Crown will use the same points format as the CARS Tour West championship. Teams must compete in all three events to be eligible for the bonus payout.
The three races that make up the Triple Crown will take place June 27 at Evergreen Speedway, Aug. 1 at Colorado National Speedway and conclude Oct. 17 at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway during the Pro Late Model season finale.
The top 10 owners in Triple Crown points will receive a share of the payout, with the champion earning $7,500.
Hoosier Tire West owner Rick Gerhardt said the program is intended to give back to teams competing in the series.
“We’re really excited to be able to sponsor the CARS Tour West Triple Crown,” Gerhardt said. “Our racers are the backbone of what we do, and this is a great opportunity for us to give back and show our appreciation to the competitors who continue to support CARS Tour West and Hoosier Tire West.”
CARS Tour West co-owner Kevin Harvick said the three tracks represent different regions of short-track racing across the West.
“We selected these three tracks because they represent the best of short-track racing in the West,” Harvick said. “Evergreen and Colorado National bring together competitors from different regions, and Kern Raceway made sense for the finale as the Pro Late Models’ final race of the year.”
Harvick said the program reflects the continued growth of short-track racing in the West.
“The growth shows short-track racing in the West is alive and well, and the Triple Crown is another step forward for our racers and fans.”
