Hello and Happy Monday!

The focus of the pavement Late Model world this weekend centered on three locations. The results from the ASA STARS National Tour race at Five Flags Speedway, the Pro All Stars Series show at Hickory Motor Speedway, and the Spears CARS Tour West action at Kern Raceway lead off this week's Monday Digest.

At Pensacola, Carson Brown scored his second straight ASA STARS triumph (inset photo from David Kranak/ Impact Zone Photos). The Hickory hero was Jimmy Renfrew Jr., who triumphed in both the Super Late Model and street stock divisions. The California racetrack named after hometown NASCAR standout Kevin Harvick saw one repeat winner in Jace Hansen and one first-time series victor in Kenna Mitchell.

All of the results are below, along with a handful of photos and story links where available. We hope you liked the change in the Monday Digest format, making it a little easier to match the photos with the race results than it was in 2024-25.

Scroll down to see it all. We're planning six exclusive victory stories for our Wednesday Winners edition, including the Easter Bunny Hickory show and a comeback in the Carolinas.

Have a great week, and thank you for supporting Late Model Digest!
