Officials from the ASA STARS National Tour, ASA Southern Super Series, and North Wilkesboro Speedway have announced that the series will not be able to accept any additional entries for the ECMD 150 this coming Tuesday, May 16.
The entry list has ballooned to more than 50 teams, forcing ASA officials to cut off entries for the event. A combination of space and time, or more accurately the lack thereof, has been given as the reason to stop accepting entries.
“Wow! what an incredible response and loaded field” commented Bob Sargent, ASA STARS National Tour. “Too many entries might seem like a great problem to have, but neither the ASA STARS National Tour nor North Wilkesboro Speedway is in the business of telling race teams not to come. Because of the time and space constrictions, this was the right thing to do”
Participant interest in the first-year ASA STARS National Tour started strong at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola back in March (38 Entries) and grew last week at Madison (WI) International Speedway (42 Entries). Series officials knew that the North Wilkesboro Speedway race would be an attractive event on the schedule. The ECMD 150 is event three of ten on the ASA STARS National Tour schedule
The full entry list can be found here.
Single-day general admission tickets for the May 16 ASA Stars ECMD 150 are $30 and available at www.northwilkesborospeedway.com. Children six and under are admitted free. Advance parking is also available for purchase online.

ASA STARS National Tour
The ASA STARS National Tour debuted in March of 2023 for Super Late Model racing in America. Announced last October, many of the best drivers in America will compete in the ten-race national tour with a minimum $100,000 point fund. The championship team will be guaranteed $25,000.
The ASA STARS National Tour is made up of three races from each of the regional pavement Super Late Model Series under the Track Enterprises banner; the ASA CRA Super Series, the ASA Midwest Tour and the ASA Southern Super Series.
The Team Construction Winner’s Circle program has been announced as a part of the ASA STARS National Tour for licensed drivers/teams with perfect attendance. The program provides additional financial incentives to those teams who support the Series, thanks to Team Construction.
Track Enterprises, a Racing Promotions Company based in Illinois, will operate the ASA STARS National Tour. It announced the acquisition of the CRA sanctioning body in January and followed that up with the purchase of the Midwest Tour in July. In October, Track Enterprises President, Bob Sargent announced a partnership with the Southern Super Series which set the table for the formation of the ASA STARS National Tour.
