Formed in the fall of 2014 by owner Jack McNelly, the CARS Tour was built out of the remnants of the former Pro Cup Series. The CARS sanctioning body, continuing a desire to create a viable option for quality pavement racing throughout the Carolinas and beyond, formed the dual division CARS Tour. Featuring both pro late models and late model stock cars competing on the same night at the same track, the CARS Tour is the first series of its kind to host two premier divisions under the same banner, at the same track and as part of the same event. The Super Late Model division, which was a part of the CARS Tour since its inception back in 2015, is replaced by a Pro Late Model series in 2022 that will run alongside Late Model Stocks for most of the season. The primary difference between the Super Late Models and Pro Late Models is the crate engine utilized by the latter. The Pro Late Model Tour follows similar rules to the CRA Series, Southern Super Series and those used by Montgomery Motor Speedway.
