As if the fast-paced world of the CARS Tour wasn’t chaotic and exciting enough, the final event of the 2025 is sure to turn the drama up a notch.

The drivers and teams have battled their way up and down the East Coast since March, accumulating points with the hope of finishing the season – more than a dozen events later – at the top of the standings.

Everyone will have one more chance to make a run at the tour’s top prizes when they hit the start line at the 2025 zMAX CARS Tour Championship on Oct. 18.

The special event will take place at an iconic venue, the North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

FloRacing subscribers across the world can watch all of the action unfold live and witness history, with two names being added to the list of CARS Tour champions.

The 2025 CARS Tour Championship will see champions determined in both of the tour’s divisions - CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car and the CARS Tour Pro Late Model.

Heading into the final weekend, in the LMSC category, Landen Lewis has 509 points and is 12 points ahead of Connor Hall (497). They are followed by Kade Brown (475), Landon Huffman (456) and Mini Tyrell (440).

On the Pro Late Model side, Ben Maier has a commanding lead, and his 436 points puts him 45 points ahead of Brandon Lopez (391). Dylan Garner is third (376), Keelan Harvick is fourth (357) and Rodney Dowless is fifth (349). 

The full day of racing at the five-eighths-mile oval will include three main races:

  • zMAX CARS Tour’s LMSC Crossroads Harley-Davidson 125 
  • PLM Northwest Automotive 100
  • Frontier Natural Gas 99 for the SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic

Below, is a look at the top 25 in each of the two main divisions. 

Will the pressure of the moment be too much for some? Will it take until the final laps of the Tour Championship to decide this year’s overall champions?

The Pro Late Model winner at the final event of the year, also held at North Wilkesboro Speedway, was Kaden Honeycutt, who doubled up that evening, also taking the 2024 championship. Honeycutt won three events in 2024 on the way to the title.
