Officials from the PRA Tours and the reborn Southern Modified Auto Racing Teams (SMART) have announced a new partnership that combines the two tours for the remainder of the 2020 season. 

SMART presented by PRA Tours will join together for the first of at least three races this season beginning with the 55th Anniversary Night At The Races at Caraway Speedway on Saturday, August 29. 

The SMART Tour-type modifieds will compete in a two segment, 99-lap event that will pay the top three runners at the lap 30 break and then race the final 69 laps to complete the race. Joining them will be the PRA Tours’ 602 Modifieds and 602 Super Limiteds, along with the Limited/Challengers, Mini Stocks, and U-Cars.

“We are really glad to announce this partnership with all the SMART Modified drivers and teams,” said PRA Tours President and Caraway Speedway owner Darren Hackett. “Caraway Speedway hosted more events with the original SMART series than any other track and we can’t think of a better place to begin this new relationship.”

In addition, the tour will visit Hickory Motor Speedway on Saturday, October 10, which will also feature the PRA Super Late Models, followed by a Saturday, October 24, visit to Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, North Carolina. That date will also feature additional PRA Tour divisions. 

Potential 2021 events may be announced at a later date. PRA Tours is the sanctioning body for Tour-Type Modifieds, Super Late Model, and Limited Late Models.
