ZMAX CARS TOUR

Late Model Stock racing is known in the southeastern region in the Carolinas and Virginia primarily.

The bodies on late models were constructed from fiberglass molded to resemble original equipment body panels and able to withstand the rigors of short track racing without the weight. The affordability and availability of sheet aluminum emboldened racers to switch to making their own bodies, as it was cheaper and faster. Late Model Stock Cars use a perimeter rail (symmetrical) chassis, similar to a production car, where there is equal chassis on both sides of the car.

Crate motors are most common which may limit production to 450 horsepower (300 kW) to 515 horsepower (370 kW). In addition, GM 602, 603, and 604 engines or Harrington Enforcers are allowed as well.
