Brody Monahan returns to the seat of the Monahan Motorsports Pro Late Model at Southern National Motorsports Park This Saturday

The excitement is building as the first CARS Tour race of the season approaches this Saturday, February 28th, at Southern National Motorsports Park in Kenly, North Carolina. Driving the #31 Whelen Manufacturing sponsored Pro Late Model, Brody Monahan is set to make his debut on this 0.4-mile high-banks asphalt track.

For Brody Monahan, this will be his first time racing at Southern National. The track’s unique layout requires a sense of strategy and adaptability. Drivers must balance speed with tire management to manage the abrasive surface over the course of a long race.

Returning to the seat after an impressive run at Speedweeks in mid-February, Monahan has steadily built a reputation as a talented driver in the Pro Late Model scene. Sponsored by Whelen Manufacturing and other associate partners, his #31 car is equipped with top-tier components and prepared by Scott Anderson in the Mooresville, North Carolina team's race shop.

While Monahan Motorsports plans to expand into a driver development operation, Brody will fill the seat until a funded driver steps in to take over.

What to Expect on Race Day

Race day at Southern National Motorsports Park on Saturday will be packed with excitement. Fans can expect:

• Grandstands opening at 12:45pm ET

• Qualifying at 1:10pm

• Green flag at 3:00pm for 100 laps of racing

• Live broadcast on FloRacing for fans that cannot be in attendance

  
  

Brody’s goal is to make a strong impression of Monahan Motorsports' entry into the CARS Tour by a top 5 qualifying effort and a clean finish to the race. His team will focus on giving him the best car possible to execute on raceday.

Looking Ahead Beyond Southern National

While this race is a milestone for Monahan Motorsports, it’s just the beginning for what's in store for the team this year. Banking on a successful debut in the CARS Tour, Monahan Motorsports plans to race full time in the Pro Late Model division with a driver to be announced at a later date. Each race offers new opportunities to expand the notebook of crew chief Scott Anderson while contending for wins each time the racecar hits the track.
