    PRESS RELEASE VIA THE SERIES NEW FACEBOOK PAGE.


    GRAIN VALLEY, MISSOURI (September 18, 2025) - Heartland Promotions, the powerhouse behind the wildly successful Heartland Modified Tour presented by Real Racing Wheels, KEVKO Northern Lights Modified Series presented by Real Racing Wheels and the American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports, is kicking things into overdrive with the launch of the all-new Heartland Late Model Tour set to debut in 2026.

    Building on the format and tremendous support of the Heartland Modified Tour, the new Heartland Late Model Tour will feature the same dynamic ownership team, a familiar event structure, and an unwavering commitment to delivering a premium, racing experience for fans, drivers, promoters, and partners alike.

    The Heartland Late Model Tour is designed with racers in mind. Rules will follow the unified Late Model standards used by most Super Late Model operations nationwide, but with its own unique regional characteristics: the tour will favor harder tire compounds from both Hoosier and American Racer, with full specifications to be announced soon.

    “Launching the Heartland Late Model Tour represents the next step for Heartland Promotions,” said Trenton Berry, Co-Owner of Heartland Promotions. “We’re building on the success of the Heartland Modified Tour and giving Late Model racers a thrilling new platform to showcase their skills while offering promoters and partners events that excite crowds and pack the stands.”

    With projected payouts and prestige to match the action on track, the Heartland Late Model Tour will strive to elevate the regional racing scene. Teams can anticipate well-organized and lucrative events, and partners can count on unmatched exposure and engagement.

    Heartland Promotions is actively booking event dates and seeking long-term partnerships. The conversations and connections already happening are a great indicator for what's to come. Fans, teams, and partners are encouraged to stay tuned for the upcoming full 2026 schedule, detailed tire rules, and additional technical specs.

      Great news for us Late Model Fans living in this area. A regional series is needed around here. When the NCRA and MLRA closed up shop it left a huge void for us fans. The MARS series was originally based out of Arkansas but races in the Illinois area now. Hope this works out.

        Not sure another late model series is necessary in this area. They already have 4state, Revival, Sooner, & Comp Cams all competing in the same area.

          4-State series is limited late models, and Comp Cams tends to stay on the south side of the region. Revival series and Sooner series overlap some, but neither have an overly-busy schedule. After MLRA shut down, I think there's room for another comparable series, so long as everyone tries to cooperate on scheduling. Just my 2 cents.

            You are spot on. Great analysis.

              Missouri driver Jesse Stovall attempted a super late model series to make up for the MLRA void, it didn’t last but half a season, a lot of rain outs, nearly all the races they did contest were held at Monett and won by the same driver, the race at Salina drew less than 10 cars, that’s when I knew that series wouldn’t last, but I applaud Stovall for trying.
