February 3, 2025 – The ASA STARS National Tour is thrilled to announce that DMK Racing LLC with driver Derek Kraus has become the fourteenth team to join the Platinum Program presented by Rackley Roofing and Track Enterprises.
Kraus, a native of Stratford, Wisconsin, has built an impressive resume, including multiple wins in the ARCA Menards Series East and West and a successful stint in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Kraus got his start running at short tracks in Wisconsin where he picked up a Midwest Truck Series Championship and a win in the ASA Midwest Tour.
“I’m excited to be part of the ASA STARS National Tour Platinum Program,” said Kraus. “Short-track racing has always been a passion of mine, and this series gives me the chance to compete against some of the best drivers in the country. I’m looking forward to the challenge and can’t wait to get to work with my team.”
The Platinum Program, unveiled for the 2025 season, offers a comprehensive package valued at $655,000, replacing the previous Winner’s Circle Program. This initiative aims to incentivize full-time participation by providing substantial financial support and resources to committed teams.
