FloSports and FOX Sports have reached an agreement for FS1 to broadcast the CARS Tour Late Model race at North Wilkesboro Speedway Friday, May 16. NASCAR legends and CARS Tour co-owners Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kevin Harvick will be on commentary alongside Eric Brennan for the race.

With FS1 carrying live flag-to-flag coverage of the series’ premier division, the CARS Tour will likely set a viewership record. Earnhardt called it an “incredible opportunity” for the series.

“This is going to be an exciting and entertaining weekend of racing at North Wilkesboro,” Earnhardt said in a statement. “I’m very proud about how much the series has grown and this is an incredible opportunity for our drivers and teams to showcase themselves. Kevin [Harvick] and I are going to have a lot of fun calling that race from the booth on Friday.”

FloRacing will still provide standalone coverage of the race at North Wilkesboro for its subscribers. In addition to broadcasting the 75-lap feature, FloRacing will air practice and qualifying for both CARS Tour divisions that Thursday.

Two days after the Late Model race, North Wilkesboro will host the NASCAR All-Star Race for the third consecutive season. North Wilkesboro will be the hub for motorsports the entire weekend, a big deal for the once defunct racetrack. With Earnhardt and Harvick on the call, it should be an exciting event for both existing CARS Tour and NASCAR fans.

“Our primary mission is to look for ways to put our drivers, teams and partners in front of as many race fans as possible,” CARS Tour executive director Kip Childress said. “This announcement rewards everyone by introducing the CARS Tour to such a big television platform while also bringing the series closer to Sunday’s All-Star Race festivities.

“There’s no way to express the gratitude we have to FOX Sports, FloRacing, Speedway Motorsports and NASCAR for helping us make this possible.”
