FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Spears CARS Tour West Unveils Seven-Race Super Late Model Schedule for 2026
Expanded schedule includes stops in California, Colorado, Nevada and Washington
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (Sept. 26, 2025) – The Spears CARS Tour West today unveiled a seven-race schedule for its Super Late Model division for the 2026 season - a two-race increase from the number of 2025 events. The expanded slate features stops in four states: California, Colorado, Nevada and Washington, opening with a 150-lap showdown at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Feb. 21, and returning to Las Vegas for SLM championship weekend on Nov. 14.
“Our Super Late Model schedule is a great blend of marquee events spread regionally throughout the year,” said Kevin Harvick, Spears CARS Tour West co-owner. “A key element is the realignment of West Coast competition. We’re consolidating the rules under the ULRA banner, which will help us align things on a national level. It’s going to create unity across the board, both for the competitors and the tracks.”
New to the 2026 calendar are races at Wenatchee Valley Super Oval for the Wenatchee 200, Evergreen Speedway and Tri-City Raceway, all in Washington. Additional highlights include the series’ return to Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway on March 14, and Colorado National Speedway opening its race season with 150-lap SLM feature on May 2. Evergreen Speedway will also host the popular Summer Showdown weekend during its Aug. 13-15 dates, joining the Wenatchee 200 and the season finale at The Bullring as one of three 200-lap events on the schedule.
All races will pay a minimum $15,000 to win and $2,000 to start, with the Summer Showdown and the Wenatchee 200 upping the winner’s purse to $30,000 and $25,000, respectively.
