The Southern Automobile Racing Association has announced the expansion of the SARA series into truck racing. This news comes on the heels of the disbandment of the Southern Pro Truck Series earlier in the month.

The new series is expected to run the same rules as the defunct Southern Pro series, and will pick up up some of the dates left vacant by the series. The first race will be June 10th at Charlotte County Speedway with possible future dates at Auburndale, Bronson, Hialeah, New Smyrna and Orlando.

Ray Curtis, one of the regulars with the Southern Pro series said the “SARA deal brings stability and credibility” to the high powered truck racing scene in Florida. The SARA series with Rick Day at the helm has become the standout series in Florida’s limited late model racing as well as in the open wheel modifieds. Both series normally have brought high car counts to area race tracks over the last two years.
