Mooresville, NC 12/1/20 – The application for the 2021 CARS Tour Lucas Oil Touring 12 program is now open. The program, in its fourth year of existence, has been a staple to growing and maintaining the Late Model Stock car count.
The Lucas Oil Touring 12 program is dedicated to a selected amount of twelve teams that sign an agreement to compete full time on the tour in 2021, all while promoting the tour and its events to the public. Teams that are a part of the program will receive payment, tire discounts, and other incentives throughout the year for their participation.

The CARS Tour will begin accepting application on December 1st, 2020 and conclude on January 31st, 2021. The selected Touring 12 teams will be notified no later than February 7th with a public announcement to follow.
The deciding factors in determining the Lucas Oil Touring 12 will be based on: historic CARS Tour participation, team/driver accomplishments, merit to CARS Tour sanction body both now and in the future, and the ability to maintain the standards of the Lucas Oil Touring 12 agreement in its entirety.
