The Pro Stocks compete at race tracks in New England and throughout the country by their original name, and at some tracks and racing series as Super Late Models. The Pro Stock/Super Late Models race as a weekly racing division, or as a racing touring series which compete at multiple race tracks on an alternating schedule. The Pro Stocks/Super Late Models were created by and introduced to racing by the original builder and promoter of Seekonk Speedway, the late D. Anthony Venditti in 1978. This initiative sanctions Seekonk Speedway as the race track with the right to host. such an event..
The US Pro Stock/Super Late Model Championship race is now set for Tuesday July 12th, with inclement weather days of Wednesday July 13th and Thursday July 14th. Those rain dates were selected to correspond with the New Hampshire Sprint Cup Weekend of July 16-17, 2016. This schedule will also facilitate the potential participation of NASCAR Sprint Cup and Xfinity Series drivers. This schedule will also attract race teams who travel a great distance from other regions of the United States or Canada.
