www.starsnationalseries.com

The ASA STARS National Tour will debut in 2023 for Super Late Model racing in America. Announced in October, many of the best drivers in America are expected to compete in the 10-race national tour with a minimum $100,000 point fund. The championship team will be guaranteed $25,000.

A New Chapter Begins: Melo Acquires ASA’s Premier Racing Platforms

Marty D. Melo, owner of MDM Promotions, formally announced the acquisition of the ASA STARS National Tour, ASA Midwest Tour, CRA Super Series, CRA All-Stars Tour, and TrackTV from Track Enterprises. The acquisition represents a major organizational milestone within the asphalt short track industry and ensures continued operational stability, strategic growth, and long-term stewardship of these nationally recognized motorsports properties.

This transition follows more than a year of elevated leadership engagement by Marty Melo, who assumed operational and sales oversight of the ASA STARS National Tour in the fall of 2024 and assisted in managing the series with Bob Sargent. In this capacity, Melo established the Platinum Program, which brought in 15 full-time teams at the beginning of the 2025 season. He additionally secured multiple high-profile corporate partnerships, broadening the series’ commercial portfolio, and contributing to a stronger, more sustainable foundation for teams, partner tracks, and the broader ASA racing platform.

“I am honored to assume responsibility for these historic series and the TrackTV platform. The timing was right and I can’t thank my wife, Misty Melo, and those close to me enough for the support and believing in me. Bob has given me a great opportunity,” said Marty Melo.

The ASA STARS National Tour, ASA Midwest Tour, CRA Super Series, and CRA All-Stars Tour all play critical roles in strengthening the Super Late Model and Pro Late Model racing landscape. Under the ownership and leadership of Bob Sargent, Track Enterprises has significantly elevated these properties over the past three years, momentum that positions Marty Melo for continued success moving forward.

Outgoing owner Bob Sargent, who will remain as an advisor and continue promoting several 2026 ASA STARS events, expressed full confidence in the transition. “Marty brings the professionalism, passion, and operational and marketing insight needed to keep these tours moving forward. His commitment to the sport, combined with his experience within ASA operations, makes him exceptionally well-suited to lead these properties into their next chapter.”

Marty Melo stated, “As for the four series, the vision will be to continue building on the successes of the series that have been put in place by the track promoters, officials and staff, race teams, and series sponsors.”

All previously announced 2026 schedules, event structures, operational frameworks and the strategic alliance with Tim Bryant, owner of the ASA Southern Super Series, will remain unchanged during this transition. Newly appointed Alex Gilhart will continue his role as Series Director of the ASA Midwest Tour while Scott Menlen will likewise remain in his role as Series Director of the CRA All-Stars Tour and race director of the ASA STARS National Tour. Additional announcements will be released in the coming weeks.

ASA STARS National Tour Announces 2026 Schedule Featuring Iconic Venues and New Adventures

Building on a season filled with thrilling finishes, breakout performances, and championship-caliber competition, the Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour is gearing up for a 2026 campaign that continues its mission to unite the nation’s best Super Late Model drivers. The 2026 schedule features a mix of traditional crown jewel events, fan-favorite venues, and a few exciting new additions as the series enters its third season.

The 2026 tour will visit 12 tracks across 8 states, kicking off Tuesday, February 10th at New Smyrna Speedway for the 27th running of the Clyde Hart Memorial. The season will once again conclude on Sunday, November 8th with the 41st running of the All American 400 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, one of short track racing’s most prestigious and historic finales.

Following the opener at New Smyrna, the series will head west to the Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida on Saturday March 14th for the Sunshine State 200. The 2026 edition will be a short track Saturday night show under the lights of the fast half mile. Cole Butcher has been the driver to beat winning the previous two Sunshine State 200’s.

In April, the series travels to the Mid-Atlantic for a stop at Dominion Raceway in Woodford, Virginia, on Saturday, April 25th, before a Memorial Day Weekend doubleheader in North Carolina. The action begins on Thursday, May 21st, at the legendary Hickory Motor Speedway for Thursday Thunder in the Foothills, followed by a Saturday night shootout on May 23rd at Tri-County Motor Speedway in Granite Falls, North Carolina, marking a new addition to the national schedule.

The summer stretch brings a return to the Midwest with Slinger Super Speedway hosting the nation’s best on Sunday, June 21st, followed by a midweek stop at Madison International Speedway on Tuesday, June 23rd. Both Wisconsin venues have become staples of the Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour and fan favorites.

July brings a southern swing to Newport Speedway in Tennessee on Saturday, July 25th, before the series heads north to Owosso Speedway in Michigan for a Wednesday night special on August 26th.

As the championship picture begins to take shape, the fall stretch features three big events to close out the season. The Glass City 200 returns to Toledo Speedway on Saturday, September 19th, followed by the 55th Winchester 400 at Winchester Speedway on Sunday, October 11th. The season will once again conclude under the bright lights of Music City, as drivers battle for glory in the 41st running of the All American 400 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway on Sunday, November 8th.

While the 2026 season is shaping up to be a great one, the Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour still has one more event in 2025. November 7-9 it’s the 40th running of the All American 400 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. 32 drivers are entered including Ty Majeski, Cole Butcher, Derek Thorn, Stephen Nasse, Casey Roderick, Jake Garcia and many more.

CRA Masters of the Pros 200 Returns to Owosso Speedway; Harvicks Anticipate Return

Owosso, MI - The first schedule details of the 2026 season for the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance have been announced. The crown jewel Pro Late Model race is back on the schedule, the 14th Annual Masters of the Pros 200 is on Wednesday, July 22, 2026. Again in 2026, Keelan and Kevin Harvick are set to return to Owosso Speedway, looking to improve on their performance in 2025.

Part of the Harvick Cup, a schedule of races where both father and son, Keelan and Kevin, were set to race against each other, fans set a record attendance at Owosso Speedway to see the pair race in the JEGS Tour. Keelan started the day with the upper hand, rolling off third from the grid following the redraw - Kevin, meanwhile, was tasked with coming from the 11th spot. The evening ended early for Kevin after a lap 188 incident between he and two-time JEGS Tour Champion, Dan Leeck. Keelan, however, was in contention for the win late in the going.

Kyle Crump was the story of the 13th Annual Masters of the Pros, starting in the final row for the 200-lap event after blowing an engine during final practice earlier in the day. Crump missed qualifying, but the RMD Racing No.131 had a full engine swap completed in time for driver intros. From 27th on the grid, Crump took the lead for the first time on lap 119 and engaged in an intense battle with Kyle Steckley, who had several stints as the race leader. Following the lap 188 caution, Crump had to hold off young Keelan Harvick to become the 10th different winner of the Masters of the Pros.

The Masters of the Pros is the longest Pro Late Model event of the season, featuring 200 laps of racing action. Some of the best Late Model drivers in the country unload for a shot at a green jacket and one of the richest payouts in North America. Thanks to the length of the race, pit strategy is also necessary to become a Masters champion.

Additional Master of the Pros details, including gate times, autograph sessions, and ticket information, will be released at a later date. Full details on the 2026 JEGS Tour schedule will be announced soon. For more information on the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour, log onto CRA-Racing.com.
