UARA launches Pro Late Model series

 In addition to the Super Late Model and Sportsman divisions, the United Auto Racing Alliance is adding a Pro Late Model division next season.

“We run our race series based on what is good for the race teams and what is good for the tracks that host our events, we base our decisions and our direction on what is best for everyone involved,” said UARA President Ricky Brooks. “We have been fortunate to have teams from the Southeast and Midwest come to our UARA events over the years, and their encouragement to our rules, race management and giving back has been the driving force to establish the ‘UARA Pro’.”

Similar to UARA National, the UARA Pro standings will be decided by money earned over the course of the season, with additional year of the end bonuses being explored.

“We’ve had a great response about our expansion into the Pro Late Model division, especially as some have moved away from the original concept of the Pros to create a more affordable race car that can be used to train young racers,” said Brooks. “We can’t thank the fans, the tracks, and the teams enough for their support thus far. The bulk of our UARA Pro Late Model inaugural season will focus on central Florida, beginning with our first event of ’26 in March at Auburndale Speedway.”

Primarily comprised of the Auburndale Speedway in Florida, the UARA Pro division will also include the Baby Rattler 125 at South Alabama Speedway and Highland Rim near Nashville.

Florida’s Auburndale Speedway will make up the majority of the 2026 schedule, with Veterans Motorplex near

Nashville, TN, and the Baby Rattler 125 at South Alabama Speedway, completing the rest.
