(Pensacola, FL) The dawn of a new season is upon us, and there is nothing more exciting than opening day in Pensacola, Florida, at Five Flags Speedway.  The popular racing venue on Pine Forest Road is set to start another season with the fourth running of the Sunshine State 200 for the Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour and the ASA Southern Super Series.  Drivers will flock from all over the country to Pensacola for the springtime classic, which will be run in t

Deep Field: It’s no secret that the field for the 27th Annual Clyde Hart Memorial 200 was one of the best we have seen in a while.  We are almost going to start expecting that in the near future, with the success we have seen at the New Smyrna February event.  Many of the same stars will be back in March at Five Flags.   Blazing Rookie: Tristan McKee is one to watch this season after he sat on the pole for the Clyde Hart Memorial 200 at New Smyrna Speedway.  He then led a han

(SAMSULA, FLORIDA) – 2025 ASA STARS National Tour Rookie of the Year Carson Brown (New London, NC) made the most of his 2026 debut by winning the 27th Annual SIG Sauer Academy Clyde Hart Memorial 200 presented by Appalachian Sucker Punch at New Smyrna Speedway. For Brown, it’s his second career Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour victory. Despite leading seven races a year ago, Brown had never led over 100 laps until this event. Brown started third in the 200-lap

For the first time in series history, the ASA Southern Super Series will open the season in the Sunshine State. This will make the February 10th Co-Sanctioned ASA STARS National Tour Clyde Hart Memorial 200 at New Smyrna Speedway the first race of 2026 for both the regional series and the National Tour.  Due to weather issues at Cordele Motor Speedway (GA), SpeedFest will be pushed back on the schedule, giving New Smyrna the opportunity to host the kickoff tour party for 2026

Long-time running partner, VDL Fuel Systems, will once again be the title sponsor of the ASA Southern Super Rookie of the Year program.   Awarded to the top rookie who earns the most points during the season, the award has garnered much attention over the years. First-year Super Late Model drivers have made names for themselves after winning this honor.   Former SSS Rookie of the Year winners won 16 of the 25 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races in 2025, including the Series C

The key players in the Super Late Model world will get back at it on Saturday, January 24th, as the ASA Southern Super Series kicks off the 2026 season with the annual SpeedFest event at Cordele Motor Speedway.  Stephen Nasse will be back in a Super Late Model for the first time since his Snowball Derby win last December.  After his victory in the Derby, it’s almost easier to list the races he hasn’t won than the ones he has.  Nasse has never won the SpeedFest event, but he h

Cordele, GA — Online entry is now officially open for Super Late Models and Pro Late Models for the 2026 running of SpeedFest, set for Friday–Saturday, January 23–24, 2026 at Cordele Motor Speedway.

This marks the 14th year of competition for the Southern Super Series.  The 15-race schedule will feature stops at eight different tracks in five different states.  The season will kick off with the non-points SpeedFest event at Cordele Motor Speedway (GA).  Now run in conjunction with Cordele’s SuperFest, and promoted by Track Enterprises, the Annual SpeedFest event has always kicked off the s

Because of the short week, we had to combine the notes from the All American 400 and the Florida Governor’s Cup 200.  Lebanon, Tennessee driver Dawson Sutton ran up front all day long, and the pole sitter claimed the All American 400, becoming the first in-state driver since Mason Mingus to win the All American.  After a long season, Derek Thorn proved that things are heading in the right direction as he posted a third-place finish in the All American 400.  Thorn posted his f

Cole Butcher capped off a magical 2025 ASA season with a dominant win in the 60th annual Governor's Cup 200 at New Smyrna Speedway on Saturday afternoon. Butcher, who started fifth in the race, charged quickly to the front, got around Spencer Davis, who passed polesitter Brad May on the opening lap of the race, for the lead just before the Lap 75 competition caution. Essentially, for the rest of the afternoon, Davis tried unsuccessfully to run down the 29-year-old Butcher fo

(NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE) - If you are going to win in front of the hometown crowd, then you had better check all the boxes along the way.  Dawson Sutton (Lebanon, TN) took care of that by being the first Tennessee driver to win the All American 400 since Mason Mingus in 2019.   Driving a Tennessee Volunteer Orange Car, Sutton made the most of the weekend by winning the pole and the race, becoming only the eighth driver to do so in the forty-year history of the race.   Sutton’s

It was not the finish that Bubba Pollard wanted, but leading laps and securing a top five a few weeks after hand surgery is a pretty solid result.  Pollard led the World Crown for the seventh time in his career, and he posted his 36th career Engine Builders pole award. His third-place run was Pollard’s fourth podium finish at the World Crown 300.  Pollard now has 14 top 10 finishes in 2025 in the ASA Southern Super Series.  The victory by Jake Garcia was the second deepest a

From Martinsville, Virginia, to Cordele, Georgia, to a place in history. Jake Garcia won Saturday's Cohen Law Group World Crown 300 presented by Noland's Roofing at Cordele Motor Speedway, joining a prestigious list of winners in the 30th running of the event. While most competitors in Saturday's event spent time at Cordele practicing on Friday to prepare for the marquee race, Garcia was racing at Martinsville Speedway in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series .

There is a lot that Monroe, Georgia driver Jake Garcia has done behind the wheel of a Super Late Model.  The 2019 Snowball Derby runner-up followed up his rookie run in the race with an ASA Southern Super Series title in 2021.   Garcia has won five times overall in the series, including the All American 400 last fall and pre-courios to the World Crown, a 125-lap sprint race at Cordele Motor Speedway last month.  With his most recent run in Georgia being a victory, there is no
