  • What Is Champion Racing Association?
    What is Champion Racing Association? Champion Racing Association (CRA) is a rac- ing sanctioning body that primarily oversees the scheduling, administering, and officiating of the ARCA/CRA Super Series for Super Late Mod- els and the JEGS/CRA All-Stars presented by Chevrolet Performance for crate Late Models. CRA also sanctions Late Model Sportsman and Street Stocks. Additionally, the CRA assists in promoting other racing events and is the sole promoter of two events during the season. JEGS is a major supporter of all CRA se- ries with a 5 year agreement to be the “Powering” company for the sanctioning body and its series. What are the ARCA/CRA Super Series and JEGS/CRA All-Stars Tour pres. by Chevrolet Performance? They are premier touring series for Super Late Model and Pro/Crate Late Model stock cars mainly in the Midwest, but also have special events anywhere in the eastern United States. What kind of Super Late Model Stock Car competes in the two series? The CRA Super Series and JEGS CRA All-Stars utilizes stock appearing cars, which resemble the Impala, Fusion, and Camry we see on the street today. Underneath the stock appearing body though, is some of the most advanced stock car racing technology being used anywhere. In the Super Series the typical engines are 358 cubic inches and have a compression ratio of 9 to 1, and use aluminum heads. Atop the engine is a modified 390-cfm carburetor. Competitors may also use a special Sealed Engine that is only available from two certified builders. In the JEGS/CRA crate series, the teams utilize FORD and GM built sealed engines.

From go-karts to the NASCAR PEAK Mexico Series to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series to the NASCAR Truck Series to the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Suárez has proven his mettle with performance. Suárez won the 2016 Xfinity Series championship behind the wheel of a Joe Gibbs Racing-prepared Toyota Camry. His title-winning drive earned him a promotion to Gibbs’ NASCAR Cup Series program where he continued in Toyotas throughout the 2017 and 2018 seasons before joining Stewart-Haas Racing in 2019. Suárez rejoined the Toyota camp in 2020 when a new opportunity with Gaunt Brothers Racing allowed him to return to the manufacturer that ushered him up the NASCAR ladder and into the NASCAR Cup Series. “It’s great to be back with Toyota and back in the NASCAR Cup Series,” Suárez said. “My NASCAR career started off really well and Toyota was a very big part of that. To have them in my corner again gives me a lot of confidence. Gaunt Brothers Racing has something to prove and so do I. We’re committed to each other and we’re going to build each other up.” Before reaching the pinnacle of stock car racing, Suárez’s racing career began in his native Mexico in 2003.
