After an off-season spent revamping its loyalty program and turning it into a robust full-time roster that stands 15 deep, the 2025 ASA STARS national Super Late Model championship season begins on Tuesday with the Clyde Hart 200 at New Smyrna Speedway.
There are 34 drivers from 15 states on the entry list and that includes everyone who signed a Platinum Agreement to pre-enter all 12 races and chase the championship.

“This is one of the strongest fields we’ve seen for the Clyde Hart Memorial, and it’s shaping up to be a can’t-miss event,” said Bob Sargent, Track Enterprises CEO. “New Smyrna Speedway always produces great racing, and with the talent we have entered, we’re expecting an incredible show for the fans.”
