Throughout the inaugural ASA STARS National Tour season, the Go Fas Racing Pole Award was handed out to the driver who set fast time in qualifying at each race. A $1,000 bonus and five bonus points were given out for running the fastest lap in qualifying.
Eight different drivers received the Go Fas Racing Pole Award in the ten-race season. The top-two points finishers were also the only two drivers with multiple fast times, with Ty Majeski (Milwaukee, Winchester) and Cole Butcher (Anderson, Toledo) both scoring two each.
Following Go Fas Racing Pole Qualifying, the top eight redrew for their starting positions during the race. Bubba Pollard drew the lucky No.1 hat more than any other driver, starting on the pole three times during the season. However, it was Ty Majeski who started on the front row more than any other driver, starting there in four races. Cole Butcher and Matt Craig had three front row starts each, while six other drivers had a front row start to their credits.

ASA STARS National Tour
The ASA STARS National Tour debuted in March 2023 for Super Late Model racing in America. Announced in October 2022, 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.
Track Enterprises, a racing promotions company based in Illinois, will operate the ASA STARS National Tour. It announced the acquisition of Champion Racing Association (CRA) in January 2022 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.
