A hybrid version of NASCAR's Late Model Stock Car, the Speedbowl's Late Models run under the sponsorship of Valenti's Automall. While they have frame rails from a street car, there's little else about these rockets that you can call "stock". They sport over 400 horsepower, 10 inch slicks and full bodies from cars like the Chevy Monte Carlo, Ford Fusion and Dodge Charger. They compete at the Speedbowl as our ShortTrack division in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series.
 
Everybody's been there. Bumper to bumper, steaming hot inside your car, the driver next to you seems so close you could reach over and touch him, and you can't see a way to get out of the jam-up. That's about what a Speedbowl Late Model driver is up against every week. The only difference is he's hurtling around the track at close to 100 mph! This division is so evenly matched that it's not uncommon to see the first 4 or 5 cars finish "under a blanket".
