Heartland Late Model Tour to debut in 2026

GRAIN VALLEY, MO.—Heartland Promotions, the powerhouse behind the wildly successful Heartland Modified Tour presented by Real Racing Wheels, KEVKO Northern Lights Modified Series presented by Real Racing Wheels and the American Racer Modified Series presented by Day Motor Sports, is kicking things into overdrive with the launch of the all-new Heartland Late Model Tour set to debut in 2026.

Building on the format and tremendous support of the Heartland Modified Tour, the new Heartland Late Model Tour will feature the same dynamic ownership team, a familiar event structure, and an unwavering commitment to delivering a premium, racing experience for fans, drivers, promoters, and partners alike.

The Heartland Late Model Tour is designed with racers in mind. Rules will follow the unified Late Model standards used by most Super Late Model operations nationwide, but with its own unique regional characteristics: the tour will favor harder tire compounds from both Hoosier and American Racer, with full specifications to be announced soon.

“Launching the Heartland Late Model Tour represents the next step for Heartland Promotions,” said Trenton Berry, Co-Owner of Heartland Promotions. “We’re building on the success of the Heartland Modified Tour and giving Late Model racers a thrilling new platform to showcase their skills while offering promoters and partners events that excite crowds and pack the stands.”

With projected payouts and prestige to match the action on track, the Heartland Late Model Tour will strive to elevate the regional racing scene. Teams can anticipate well-organized and lucrative events, and partners can count on unmatched exposure and engagement.

Heartland Promotions is actively booking event dates and seeking long-term partnerships. The conversations and connections already happening are a great indicator for what's to come. Fans, teams, and partners are encouraged to stay tuned for the upcoming full 2026 schedule, detailed tire rules, and additional technical specs.
