Chase Pinsonneault (Pin sin ow) won his first JEGS/CRA All Star Tour race at Owosso Speedway on Memorial Day weekend. 

The JEGS/CRA All Star Tour is back in action this Sunday with the Spartain 100 at Corrigan Oil Raceway.

This is the first time the All Star Tour has competed there. 

Wednesday, June 12 is the annual Money in the Bank 150 at Berlin Raceway. Erik Jones is on the entry list, and right now is the only heavy hitter that’s been announced. Rumor is Bubba Pollard will also be racing in that one. 

Race is sanctioned by the UARA National Tour

The scheduled UARA National Tour race scheduled for June 15 at the Owosso Speedway has been postponed until Sept. 11.

The CARS Tour races originally scheduled for All Star Week at North Wilkesboro have been rescheduled for Aug. 3.
