CRUSA Late Model Sportsman Tour Returns to Action This Saturday at Talladega
(Eastaboga, AL - June 11, 2025) – After a 74-day hiatus and a weather-delayed return at Magnolia Motor Speedway, the Rogers-Dabbs Performance Parts Crate Racin’ USA Late Model Sportsman Tour is officially back in action this Saturday night, June 14th, making its highly-anticipated debut at the legendary Talladega Short Track—famously known as “The Hornet’s Nest.”
Originally scheduled to visit Talladega in 2024, Mother Nature had other plans. But the wait is finally over, and the third race of the 2025 season is set to deliver edge-of-your-seat excitement under the Eastaboga lights.
The series last saw the checkered flag back on March 29th at Needmore Speedway, where Mark Whitener picked up the win. Earlier this season, Wyatt Gainey grabbed victory during the opener at All-Tech Raceway on March 1st. The tour was last scheduled to run at Magnolia Motor Speedway on May 25th but was rained out after Friday's preliminary night. That event has been rescheduled for Saturday, August 9th, and will feature a $5,000-to-win finale.
Saturday night’s program will be stacked with local and touring excitement. Alongside the Crate Racin’ USA Late Model Sportsman Tour, fans will also be treated to CRUSA Weekly Late Models, CRUSA Modified Sportsman, Factory Stocks, Hot Shots, and Mini-Stocks, making for a thrilling night of dirt racing at its finest.
Don’t miss the return of the Crate Racin’ USA Late Model Sportsman Tour this weekend at “Hornet’s Nest”!
