ROWDY MANUFACTURING SUPER LATE MODEL CHALLENGE COULD SHATTER PAYDAY RECORDS FOR POLLARD AND CRAIG IN 2020

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (June 22, 2020) – Even though the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed the start of the Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour season, two drivers are on a record-setting pace thanks to the Rowdy Manufacturing Super Late Model Challenge.

Championship contenders Matt Craig and Bubba Pollard have won the first two CARS Tour Super Late Model events. Both drivers are eligible for the Rowdy Manufacturing Super Late Model Challenge, which offers a $5,000 cash bonus to the winner of select Super Late Model races on the 2020 schedule.

The pair will now travel north to the Jennerstown Speedway Complex in Jennerstown, Pennsylvania for the $20,000-to-win Thomas Automotive American Freedom 300 on July 4. Through the first two Super Late Model races in the 2020 Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour, Craig and Pollard have earned nearly 20% of their total career earnings in CARS Tour competition.

In 2019, Matt Craig won over $20,000 en route to the CARS Tour Super Late Model championship. Bubba Pollard also earned over $20,000 last season in four Super Late Model starts.

Craig and Pollard will battle with the best of the Solid Rock Carriers CARS Tour and the ARCA/ CRA Super Series at Jennerstown in the Thomas Automotive American Freedom 300. The best Super Late Model drivers from the Carolinas will compete with the premier Super Late Model series in the Midwest over 200 laps to determine who will have the biggest Independence Day celebration at the half-mile track.

Tickets for the inaugural Thomas Automotive American Freedom 300 are $20 in advance and $25 the day of the event. Kids 12 and under are free with a paid adult. Tickets can be purchased in advance online at www.carsracingtour.com.
