SALEM, Ind. – Champion Racing Ass’n Powered by JEGS officials have released the schedule for the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour Presented by Chevrolet Performance.
The JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour 2021 schedule will consist of 13 races, 11 of those are point events, and two non-point events. Next year will be the 11th season of competition for the crate late model touring series sanctioned by the Champion Racing Ass’n.
“We are really excited about the 2021 schedule with the JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour,” remarked Glenn Luckett, Managing Partner of CRA. “We have a great mix of events on the schedule, with some great high-profile events that will challenge our drivers throughout the season and provide some great racing for our fans.”
CRA will continue the Chase for the Championship format for determining a series champion next year. The playoff format has produced more teams competing for a championship in every CRA division since CRA started using that format in 2017.
