This past Saturday, Jett Noland Motorsports rolled into Cordele Motor Speedway ready to take on the best of the best in the CARS Tour Pro Late Model Series, and determined to take home another victory. With a rich legacy that began back in 1995, the CARS Tour has become a cornerstone of short-track racing in the Southeast. Ever since its transition to Pro Late Model racing in 2022—along with the leadership of legends Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton, and Justin Marks—it’s only gotten tougher, faster, and more competitive. Saturday night was no exception.
Jett Noland started deep in the field, rolling off from the 18th position. From the drop of the green flag, the race was hard-fought across every inch of the track. Battles were breaking out in every groove, with little room to breathe or make a mistake. Despite the intensity, Jett used the opportunity as an exercise in patience and precision, slowly picking his way through the field, lap after lap, making smart moves and staying out of trouble. With 20 laps to go, a late-race restart brought the field back together—and shook up the track even more.
Up front, Tristan McKee and Colin Allman were locked in a relentless duel for the lead, neither giving an inch. Their battle lasted for several laps, effectively locking out the other drivers, including Jett, from stealing 1st or 2nd place. In the final lap, Jett found himself in his own showdown with TJ DeCaire. The two went toe-to-toe until, ultimately, Jett came out on top, securing a hard-earned 3rd-place finish.
Crew Chief Jimmy summed it up best: “Had a great time racing with the CARS Tour. We’ve got a few things to work on for next time, but we’ll be back better.” We want to give a huge thank you to Dale Earnhardt Jr., the entire CARS Tour organization, and Cordele Motor Speedway for putting on such a thrilling event. It was an honor to compete on a stage like this, against some of the best drivers in the region.
Lastly, we couldn’t do any of this without the continued support of our incredible sponsors—Cohen Law Group and Noland’s Roofing— and everyone behind the scenes who help keep this team rolling.
