Late model dirt oval racing traces its roots to the post-World War II era when stock car racing began to rise in popularity on dirt tracks across the United States. Evolving from modified production cars, late models became purpose-built vehicles designed for high-speed competition on clay and dirt surfaces. By the 1960s and 1970s, these cars featured custom-built chassis and powerful V8 engines, pushing the boundaries of performance and excitement. Over time, late models developed into one of the most competitive and prestigious classes in dirt oval racing, renowned for their sleek, aerodynamic designs and high-speed thrills. Today, late model dirt racing continues to captivate fans worldwide, standing as a cornerstone of grassroots motorsport culture.

A secure screw has been added to fasten the center rear wing divided panel to the body, ensuring greater structural integrity during intense action. Additionally, flanged front wheel bearings deliver smoother rotation and increased reliability on the track. The Late Model 2.0 is designed to offer top-tier performance with these carefully engineered upgrades.
