Austin Nason in the driver's seat

Roscoe native Austin Nason may come across as a humble driver, but he isn't humble when behind the wheel of his stock car. He is always a factor in major race events. He has made 70 starts in the ASA Midwest Tour with four victories, 19 top-fives, and 40 top-10's. Those four victories came at significant events. In 2018, he won the Joe Shear Classic at Madison International Speedway in Oregon, WI, and the All-Star 100 at Rockford Speedway in Loves Park, IL. In 2019, he won the Inaugural Father's Day 100 at the Milwaukee Mile in West Allis, WI. This past season, he added his name to a historical list of winners in the Wayne Carter Classic at Grundy County Speedway in Morris, IL. He is also a two-time champion at the National Short Track Championships at Rockford Speedway.

This weekend Austin begins the start of the ASA STARS National Tour, a 10-race, six-state schedule at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, FL, on Saturday, March 11, 2023.

The ASA STARS National Tour is debuting in 2023 for Super Late Model racing in America. Announced in October of 2022, the 10-race national tour has a minimum $100,000 point fund. The championship team will be guaranteed $25,000.

You can catch all the exciting action live-streamed on a trio of digital platforms via Pay-Per-View: The newly formed TrackTv.com, Racing America, and MidwestTour.tv. The races will also be replayed on MAVTV on a tape-delayed basis.
