ABOUT AAS
The AAS was founded in 2018 with the first season of the series being run in 2019. The purpose of the AAS was to create fair pro-late model racing in East, TN, and the surrounding region. The original intent for the series was to stay within around four hours of Morristown. Due to the great job, the series does on the end of tech and providing racers excellent payouts the series have evolved beyond that in 2023. The AAS Weekly Series was founded in 2020 in order to help give tracks in the region a unified ruleset and to reward the "Weekend Warrior" who races at his home track week in and week out. The series continues to grow and take on new and exciting changes in the 2023 season and beyond!
