Late Models Headline Sunday At Salem

SALEM, Ind. — Salem Speedway will host the ARCA/CRA Super Series for the second consecutive year on Sunday, April 24.

Last year’s show brought some intense racing action with three divisions testing their skills around the high banked half-mile. This year will see more of the same with the ARCA/CRA Super Series being accompanied by the JEGS CRA All-Star Tour Powered by Chevrolet Performance and the Lucas Oil Great American Stocks.

Salem welcomed back super late models for the first time in more than 12 years last year, with USAC Silver Crown champion Kody Swanson taking home the checkered flag. The JEGS/CRA All Stars Tour race saw another first-time winner with Louisville driver Trey Craig getting his first win with the series.

The 34-car street stock feature saw local racers, Chuck Barnes Sr. and Jr., test their abilities against former NASCAR star Ken Schrader. Schrader couldn’t hold off the father and son duo, however, and Chuck Barnes Sr. took home the checkered while his son met him in victory lane for a second-place finish.

Barnes Sr. and Jr. will return to Salem to try and test their skills again against Schrader, whose last victory at Salem came during a 2015 ARCA Menards Series event.
