CARS Tour officials unveiled their Late Model Stock Car roster for the highly-anticipated return to the historic North Wilkesboro Speedway on Wednesday, May 17. The field, which is capped at 38 cars, is stacked from top to bottom with talent from across the CARS Tour and NASCAR worlds.

The car count cap was raised from 30 a year ago to 38 for this May’s extravaganza. The top 26 in CARS Tour owner points make up a large portion of the field, plus guaranteed spots for any “Touring 12” drivers not already in the top 26. The remainder of the field will be made up of current or former NASCAR Cup Series competitors.

Headlining the entry list for the Window World 125 is NASCAR Hall of Famer and two-time Daytona 500 champion, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt ran this event last August with the CARS Tour and finished third.

Earnhardt isn’t the only driver with strong NASCAR ties on this list, either. Two past champions in Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski will be going back to their Late Model roots. 

Harvick will be racing a car out of the Kevin Harvick Inc. shop in Harrisburg, North Carolina prepared by his Cup Series crew chief and former Late Model Stock standout, Rodney Childers. 

Keselowski will be racing a car prepared out of the Hedgecock Racing stables with his familiar No. 6 adorning the doors and roof.

Joining Harvick is his Stewart-Haas Racing teammate, Chase Briscoe, who will be making his pavement Late Model debut in a car prepared by Chad Bryant Racing. Briscoe’s history with Chad Bryant goes way back to his ARCA Menards Series days when Bryant was his crew chief. Briscoe will be a teammate to Mason Diaz and Connor Hall.

And then there’s also the Trackhouse Racing duo of Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez, the latter of which will also be making his LMSC debut much like Briscoe. Chastain will be racing a car prepared by Pinnacle Racing Group out of Mooresville, North Carolina, while Suarez will be running a R and S Race Cars machine and will be teammates to three-time CARS Tour champion Bobby McCarty, and Conner Jones.

The drivers and teams using a series provisional are Isabella Robusto for Lee Faulk Racing, Layne Riggs, Bryant Barnhill, Cameron Bolin, and Josh Dickens.

The Window World 125 caps off a massive two nights of Late Model racing at North Wilkesboro Speedway during NASCAR's All Star Week. It all kicks off on Tuesday, May 16 with a 150-lap feature for the ASA STARS National Tour Super Late Models. Then on Wednesday the CARS Tour will run a doubleheader featuring a 75-lap showdown for the Pro Late Models and the Late Model Stock Car Window World 125.

Both nights of Late Model racing from North Wilkesboro Speedway will be broadcast live exclusively on FloRacing. Race fans can subscribe to FloRacing by clicking here.
