All-New Camaros and Mustangs from the ASA Sunoco National Tour to Hit Springport in the Inaugural "Michigan 200"
On June 5th, the Sunoco National Tour, formerly known as the ASA Late Model Challenge Series, will be making their only appearance in the state of Michigan at the Springport Motor Speedway. Race fans all over have longed for the days when race cars looked more like the new cars in the showroom. Well, the wait is over as the Sunoco National Tour has introduced new body styles for their series which currently consists of a Ford Mustang and a Chevrolet Camaro. Even though the new bodies are strecthed and tweaked in key areas to be suitable for chassis fit and high speed aerodynamics, they have managed quite nicely to maintain a striking resemblance to the cars you'll find in the dealer showrooms. | Chase Elliott at Rockingham Speedway in his brand new Aaron's Mustang and carrying
