Beginning in 2010, ASRS will be hosting a Cup Series using a current style NASCAR vehicle mod. Already in two tests, the Cup Series has been given a vote of confidence by the drivers who attended. The new Cup Series represents a change in the philosophy of ASRS as the league grows and expands into places it has never been before.
A 36 race, 4 season schedule is planned with each of the four seasons hosting atleast one race each on a short track, superspeedway, road course and intermediate track. The schedule is comprised mostly of current cup tracks, with Nationwide and Truck tracks tossed in to add flavor. Additionally, a couple former cup series tracks, such as those in Rockingham and North Wilkesboro will fill the schedule. Road America will also be included in the schedule. 13 companion events with the ASRS Camping World Truck Series will be spread throughout the schedule.
