Where Does The World Series Of Asphalt Take Place?

The World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing takes place at New Smyrna Speedway in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. New Smyrna Speedway is a fast, high-banked half-mile oval that sits about 10 miles south of Daytona International Speedway.

What Divisions Are Racing During The World Series Of Asphalt?

There will be 13 different divisions in action across nine nights of racing during the World Series of Asphalt, plus two major touring series in the form of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour and the Super Late Models of the ASA STARS National Tour. Tour Modifieds, Super Late Models, Pro Late Models, 602 Modifieds, Florida Modifieds, Sprint Cars, Vintage Ground Pounders, Bomber A and B, Super Stocks, E-Mods, Pro Trucks, and Sportsman will all be in action at some point over the course of these nine nights of racing.

Who Is Racing During The World Series of Asphalt?

The World Series of Asphalt is racing’s melting pot. NASCAR drivers like Ryan Preece will be in action. The most recent Snowball Derby champion, Stephen Nasse, will be racing for a couple of nights. Weekly racers from the northeast like Mark Stewart will take on touring series champions like Austin Beers and Ron Silk in the Modifieds. With more than 200 cars expected, there’s drivers from all over the racing world, and the literal world too. Nearly 10 drivers in the Pro Late Model division are citizens of other countries, including Gabriel Cassagrande who will be making the trip north from Brazil to race.

The full entry lists can be found below.
