While NASCAR, the Stock Car Racing giant is slowly straying away from the traditional values of the sport, giving more emphasis on road racing, CARS Tour has always remained a beacon of hope for ardent fans who yearn to see the short-style racing. Things got even more promising when Dale Jr and Co. decided to join in their efforts to uplift the promotion and showcase its unique short-format late-model asphalt racing.

Ever since then, the promotion has become the best name in short-track racing, making the headlines by bringing in renowned drivers from the NASCAR world and pitting them against young and upcoming talents. The group took charge earlier this year in January and this has turned out considerably well with Floracing as its streaming partner and the fans making it back to the stands.

Now coming to the meat of the matter, the ownership group recently unveiled their new title sponsor, zMax, a Speedway Motorsports-owned micro-lubricant company in Harrisburg, North Carolina. zMax is a solid presence in the automobile industry with its products catering to a wide variety of automobiles including cars, trucks, airplanes, motorcycles, outdoor equipment, etc., and is a major presence in racing leagues like NHRA.
