ASA inks new Winners Circle deal for 2024

The ASA STARS National Tour ‘Winner’s Circle’ program is back for 2024 and has a new sponsor in Rackley Roofing.

The program is a traditional version of the longstanding loyalty program similar to the World of Outlaws platinum agreement of the old CARS Tour Touring 12 in that it rewards teams for participating in nearly every event since the inaugural season in 2023.

“We’re happy and excited to partner with the ASA STARS National Tour,” commented Curtis Sutton, President of Rackley Roofing, Inc. “The ASA STARS Tour represents the highest level of Super Late Model racing in America, and we are proud to be able to support not only the Series, but the teams through the Rackley Roofing Winners Circle Program.”

ASA STARS is owned and operated by Track Enterprises, managed by president Bob Sargent.

“Rackley Roofing has been a great supporter of short track pavement racing for a long time,” said Sargent. “With their support, we are able to provide a more robust Winners Circle program for the teams, and offer bonus opportunities to more teams.”

The 2024 participants based on meeting eligibility requirements since the start of last season are as follows:

• 91 Gearhead Motorsports Team / Driver Ty Majeski
• 28 Wilson Motorsports / Driver Cole Butcher
• 22 Wilson Motorsports / Driver Gio Ruggiero
• 26 Pollard Motorsports / Driver Bubba Pollard
• 14 Nason Motorsports / Driver Austin Nason
• 23 Edco Welding / Driver Billy Van Meter
• 33 Francis Engineering / Driver Albert Francis
• 69 Mike Hinde / Driver Michael Hinde
