CARS Tour has a new title sponsor in zMAX and has released a 2024 schedule that features a second date at North Wilkesboro Speedway. The second event will serve as the championship weekend. That’s in addition to the All Star Race week event.
Orange County Speedway also returns to the schedule on April 20.
“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 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. Our partnership with FloRacing has helped tremendously in building exposure and excitement around the zMAX CARS Tour. I’m looking forward to continuing that.”
zMax is owned by Speedway Motorsports.
“A zMAX partnership with the CARS Tour is a grassroots commitment to building future competitors and fans in motorsports,” said Marcus Smith, president and CEO of Speedway Motorsports. “I’d like to thank Dale, Kevin, Jeff and Justin for this opportunity. We look forward to marketing zMAX from the garage to the grandstands and we’re thrilled to see the CARS Tour returning to North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2024.”
All 19 events will continue to air on FloRacing for the second season in a row.
“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 General Manager of FloRacing, Michael Rigsby. “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.”
