History
The ARCA Hoosier Central Series was first formed in 1997 as the Kendall Late Model Series and later became the Sunoco Super Series. Beginning in 2012, the series entered a partnership with the Automobile Racing Club of America, resulting in the ARCA/CRA Super Series. CRA also had previous partnerships with the Southern Super Series that races in Alabama, Tennessee, and Florida, and the CARS Tour in Virginia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee with a series of combination races for all three tours, including one at Bristol Motor Speedway. Prior to the 2021 season, ARCA announced an intended expansion of their late model division with the acquisition of the ASCRA Sunoco Super Late Model Tour that would become the ARCA Sunoco Super Late Model Series in 2022. In February 2021, ARCA announced they would be acquiring the controlling stake for the ARCA/CRA Super Series and renaming it the ARCA Central Tour. By November 2021, ARCA had officially become the sole owners of the series, with it debuting under the ARCA Hoosier Pro Late Model Division banner in April 2022.
