The last time the zMAX CARS Tour was in action, the series put on one of the greatest displays of Late Model Stock car racing the short track community has ever seen.
After Brent Crews topped William Byron, Connor Hall and Carson Kvapil at Caraway Speedway on Wednesday, July 3, many were calling the finish the greatest in series history.
That got us thinking – was it actually the greatest finish in CARS Tour history? There’s certainly an argument to be made, but we’ve seen plenty of thrillers over the course of the tour’s near-decade-long existence.

Hickory Motor Speedway, 2022: Connor Hall got the best of William Sawalich during Hickory’s throwback race in 2022. The battle started with 10 laps to go and lasted until Hall completed the race-winning pass with three to go, leading the rest of the way.
