Feel the Thunder of Late Model Stock Cars

If you loved the NASCAR Xfinity Series race here at PIR in May, you’ll want to find the best seats at the track for the Rose Cup Races’ Late Model Stock Cars. This race is open to all late models using standard bodywork and 15-inch wheels. All the cars will be powered by a carbureted pushrod V8 engine, with a manual shift transmission. Most of the cars in the Late Models race will be laying down about 500 horsepower at the rear wheels, but a few in the Unlimited class may be making quite a bit more.

To give the drivers an extra reason to push hard, the top 5 cars in the Late Models race on Saturday will automatically be invited into the headline Rose Cup race to compete for the roses and a place in the history books. A fast Late Model stands a pretty good chance of placing high up in the Rose Cup, too.

It all adds up to some more great racing here at the Rose Cup Races. Be sure to catch the Late Model Stock Cars when they qualify at 11:10 am and race at 4:40 pm on Saturday. Many of the stock cars will race again during the Rose Cup race at 3:35 pm on Sunday.
