Joe Shear Classic at Madison Boasts Star Studded Entry List

Casey Roderick headlines a stellar list of drivers already entered for the Joe Shear Classic at Madison next Sunday at Madison International Speedway in Oregon, WI.

The Pulaski, MS driver, who won the inaugural ASA STARS National Tour event at Five Flags back on March 11, is one of 36 drivers to have filed entries so far for round two of the new pavement Super Late Model series. By virtue of his March 11 win in Pensacola, Roderick will come to Madison as the series points leader on May 7. In addition to claiming the checkered flag at the conclusion of the Sunshine State 200, Roderick also earned points for winning two stages, and bonus points for leading the most laps. The ASA STARS National Tour is offering a $100,000 point fund – with $25,000 going to the championship team, and an additional $5,000 bonus to the champion driver.

The Joe Shear Classic will be Roderick’s third appearance in Wisconsin (2021 WIR, 2019 Milwaukee). He is a former champion of the ASA Southern Super Series, and recently won the World Series of Asphalt championship at New Smyrna Speedway (FL) during Speedweeks in February.

Joining Roderick on the entry list include past Joe Shear Classic winners Bubba Pollard, Andrew Morrissey, Ty Majeski, Dan Fredrickson Johnny Sauter, and Austin Nason. The current entry list can be viewed by clicking here.

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.
