ASA STARS National Tour Prepares for First Trip to Dominion

A field of 22 Super Late Model competitors are entered for the Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour's first-ever trip to Dominion Raceway in Thornburg, Virginia on April 5.

Dominion opened in 2016, and will be a new challenge for most of the field. The last time Super Late Models tackled the fast 4/10-mile located just off Interstate 95 was in 2017 with the CARS Tour.

Along with the star-studded field of ASA STARS National Tour Platinum Drivers such as Bubba Pollard, Stephen Nasse, Derek Thorn, Cole Butcher, Matthew Craig and more, there are some big names in the 22-car field.

Jake Garcia, taking advantage of an off weekend for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, will pilot the No. 35 Fr8 Racing Ford. He is coming off a third-place finish at Martinsville Speedway last Friday at Martinsville.

Landon Pembelton won last year's Late Model track championship at Dominion and is a former ValleyStar Credit Union 300 winner at Martinsville Speedway. The Amelia, Virginia native will drive a second entry fielded by Craig.

Saturday's Appalachian Sucker Punch 250 presented by Jones Utilities is the third race of the 2025 season for the ASA STARS National Tour. Gavan Boschele leads the points standings and won the Clyde Hart Memorial at New Smyrna Speedway to open the year.

In the series' last event, Butcher went to victory lane with his second consecutive win in the Sunshine State 200 at Five Flags Speedway.
