Late model racecars are the highest class of local stock car racing vehicles
at many race tracks in the United States and North America. Some regional
and lower national-level series race in late models. Varieties of late
models (ranked from highest vehicle performance to lowest) include Super
Late Models, Late Models, and Limited Late Models. Some series require crate
motors to be utilized by racecars under their sanction. Vehicles raced on
dirt are significantly different from vehicles raced on asphalt. Asphalt
late model racing is an extremely common stepping stone for drivers who race
in regional and national touring series including NASCAR. Racers of both
dirt and asphalt Late Models have won the national championship of NASCAR
Weekly Racing Series. Almost every NASCAR driver raced in the class while
progressing their career.
ASA Late Model Series is a nationally touring American stock car racing
series. Founded by Ron Varney in 2003 as the "USPRO Cup Series", it was
renamed "ASA Late Model Series in when it was purchased by the American
Speed Association in 2004. After financial difficulties during the 2004
season, the series was sold back to its founders.
In the fall of 2005, Varney announced the purchase of the Southern All-Stars
Asphalt Late Model Series to form the ASA Late Models South Series, plus the
creation of the ASA Late Models North Series as regional touring series. The
ASA Late Model Series would be renamed the ASA Late Model Challenge Series.
