It was formerly known as the Kendall Late Model Series and the Sunoco Super Series. The series utilizes Super Late Models. Regulations on engine and body are NASCAR legal. Like NASCAR, the car body designs are based on the [Holden Commodore](/source/Holden_Commodore_(VF)), [Dodge Charger](/source/Dodge_Charger_(LX)), [Ford Fusion](/source/Ford_Fusion_(Americas)), and the [Toyota Camry](/source/Toyota_Camry). ### JEGS All Stars Tour Champion Racing Association purchased the Michigan-based Super Pro Series and began in 2011. The JEGS All Stars Tour utilizes Pro Late Models, which is powered by a crate engine. The crate engine rule is meant to reduce the costs of the engines to the competitors. The crate engines are built by the automobile manufacturers themselves, such as [General Motors](/source/General_Motors) and [Ford](/source/Ford_Motor_Company). ### Late Model Sportsman Series The CRA Late Model Sportsman Series debuted in 2005. ### Street Stock Series The CRA Street Stock Series debuted in 2005. ## Past series ### Vore's FWD Compacts Series The most recent series champion was [Jeff Shelmadine](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jeff_Shelmadine&action=edit&redlink=1) in 2011. In late 2011 however, Champion Racing Association disbanded its promotion of the Compacts, and this division is now promoted by series sponsor Vore's Welding. ## 2025 [ASA/CRA Super Series](/source/ASA%2FCRA_Super_Series) Schedule Date Track Location Winner January 17[1] Cordele Motor Speedway[2] Cordele, Georgia Bubba Pollard April 5 Dominion Raceway[3] Thornburg, Virginia May 3 Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway[4] Nashville, Tennessee June 21 Flat Rock Speedway Flat Rock, Michigan July 26 Anderson Speedway[5] Anderson, Indiana August 20 Owosso Speedway[6] Ovid, Michigan September 13 Toledo Speedway[7] Toledo, Ohio October 12 Winchester Speedway[8] Winchester, Indiana November 9 Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway[9] Nashville, Tennessee ## 2025 [JEGS](/source/Jegs_High_Performance)/CRA All-Stars Tour Schedule Date Track Location Winner January 17[10] Cordele Motor Speedway[11] Cordele, Georgia Ben Maier April 19 Toledo Speedway Toledo, Ohio May 10 Anderson Speedway Anderson, Indiana May 26 Owosso Speedway Owosso, Michigan May 29 Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville, Tennessee[12] June 21 Flat Rock Speedway Flat Rock, Michigan July 5 Whittemore Speedway Whittemore, Michigan July 16 Owosso Speedway[13] Owosso, Michigan August 8 Corrigan Oil Speedway Mason, Michigan August 23 Jennerstown Speedway[14] Jennerstown, Pennsylvania August 30 Kalamazoo Speedway Kalamazoo, Michigan September 6 Auto City Speedway Clio, Michigan September 20 Owosso Speedway[15] Owosso, Michigan September 21 Owosso Speedway Owosso, Michigan October 10 Winchester Speedway Winchester, Indiana November 8 Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway[16] Nashville, Tennessee ## 2025 CRA Sportsman Series Schedule Date Track Location Winner March 30 Shady Bowl Speedway DeGraff, Ohio April 26 Anderson Speedway Anderson, Indiana June 7 Salem Speedway Salem, Indiana June 28 Owosso Speedway Owosso, Michigan September 1 Winchester Speedway Winchester, Indiana September 13 Anderson Speedway Anderson, Indiana October 11 Winchester Speedway Winchester, Indiana ## 2025 CRA Street Stock Series Schedule Date Track Location Winner March 30 Shady Bowl Speedway DeGraff, Ohio April 12 Highland Rim Speedway Greenbrier, Tennessee April 26 Anderson Speedway Anderson, Indiana May 26 Owosso Speedway Owosso, Michigan May 29 Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville, Tennessee June 14 Anderson Speedway Anderson, Indiana July 5 Salem Speedway Salem, Indiana August 9 Anderson Speedway Anderson, Indiana September 1 Winchester Speedway Winchester, Indiana September 13 Anderson Speedway Anderson, Indiana October 11 Winchester Speedway Winchester, Indiana November 8 Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville, Tennessee ## CRA tracks Track name Location Length Anderson Speedway Anderson, Indiana .250 mile Angola Motor Speedway Angola, Indiana .375 mile Baer Field Speedway Fort Wayne, Indiana .500 mile Berlin Raceway Marne, Michigan .438 mile Columbus Motor Speedway Columbus, Ohio .333 mile Fairgrounds Speedway Nashville, Tennessee .625 mile O'Reilly Raceway Park Clermont, Indiana .686 mile Plymouth Speedway Plymouth, Indiana .375 mile Shady Bowl Speedway De Graff, Ohio .300 mile Toledo Speedway Toledo, Ohio .500 mile Winchester Speedway Winchester, Indiana .500 mile Lanier National Speedway Braselton, Georgia .375 mile Mount Lawn Speedway New Castle, Indiana .300 mile Monroe Motor Speedway Monroe, Louisiana .375 mile Salem Speedway Salem, Indiana .555 mile South Alabama Speedway Opp, Alabama .400 mile Crisp Motorsports Park Cordele, Georgia .375 mile ## Notable drivers -
