The ASA Late Model Series Presented by GM Performance Parts brought back the days of yesteryear with the return of the USPRO Cup Series towards the end of the 2007 season.

From the days in 2003 as a regional touring series in the home state of Michigan as well as Indiana and Ohio, the ASALMS has since then expanded all over the United States and even into Canada as the Template Body/Crate Engine concept has swept the nation over the last five seasons.

Along the way however, something was lost in the translation from the days of the USPRO Cup Series in 2003 to what we know today. The three divisions within the ASALMS had taken a gigantic leap into the laurels of the racing world and somewhere along the way, a group of drivers were left behind as the ASALMS continued to prosper.

So with that in mind, the ASALMS announced the triumphant return of the USPRO Cup Series to full-time status beginning with the 2008 season! Three races were held in 2007 in a sneak preview of sorts as to what is in store for the revamped USPRO Cup Series.

Although the three events conducted in 2007 did not keep track of points, the Sneak Peek races held in 2007 offered a sneak preview of some very talented drivers looking to travel with a full-time series while at the same time, not break the bank to do so.
