STATESVILLE, NC – May 22, 2020 – On November 21st, the Carolina Pro Late Model Series (CPLMS), presented by Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet, announced its formation as a racing series that was “Built by Racers for Racers”, with an opening day event at the famed Dillon Motor Speedway on March 21st. As with all racing activity across the United States, racing was postponed, leaving opening day in question, due to COVID restrictions.

National Late Model stand out Devin O’Connell along with Carson Kvapil, Nick Loden, Kodie Conner, and Ross “Boo Boo” Dalton are among the names that fans will see competing for the $1,200 prize and the bragging rights of winning CPLMS’ first racing event. In addition to top Late Model talent, NASCAR Cup Series team Rick Ware Racing with JR Courage has fielded several entries in support of its driver development program.
During the off-season, CPLMS racing owner and promoter, Keith Graham and his team successfully aligned more than 20 marketing partners, headlined by Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet, the title sponsor of the CPLMS Racing Series.
