Due to an extremely poor forecast, CARS Tour officials announced Wednesday evening that this weekend’s season-opener at Southern National Motorsports Park for the Late Model Stock Cars will be rescheduled for Saturday afternoon, March 10.

With Saturday expected to be a washout, the CARS Tour made the proactive decision to move the racing program for the 125-lap Late Model Stock race to Sunday. Sunday will now consist of single-car qualifying, which will take place at 1 p.m. ET, followed by the 125-lap main event at approximately 2:30 p.m. ET. 

This weekend’s entry list consists of 30 teams, all of whom will practice on Friday, March 8 at the 4/10-mile high-banked oval in Lucama, North Carolina. There will now be no pre-race practice sessions on race day, unlike the original weekend schedule.
