United Auto Racing Alliance (UARA) officials released 2026 season schedules for the sanctioning body's National and Sportsman Series on Saturday.
The UARA National schedule for Super Late Models features 12 dates, including the return of marquee events such as the Rattler 250, Money in the Bank 150, Battle at Berlin 250 and season-ending Bill Bigley, Sr. Memorial 128.
The season begins on February 28 at Auburndale Speedway with the Ken Hyatt Memorial 142. The tour will then head to South Alabama for the 50th Rattler 250.
Golden Sands Speedway, located in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, joins the UARA National schedule for 2026. There is also one event with further details, including finalized date and track, to be announced.
The Bigley Memorial Tune-Up at the Freedom Factory moves to October 24, offering a prelude to the Bill Bigley, Sr. Memorial on November 28 for teams seeking track time ahead of the big-money race.
The UARA Sportsman season begins on January 10 at Citrus County Speedway. The tour schedule is again dominated with tracks in Florida, with trips to South Alabama Speedway on Rattler Weekend and Mobile International Speedway on July 25 being exceptions.
In total, 12 UARA Sportsman events are on the 2026 calendar. This includes the Bigley Invitational 50, where select competitors make the trip to Freedom Factory alongside the Bill Bigley, Sr. Memorial 128.
The UARA National and Sportsman series are joined by the UARA Pro Late Model Series in 2026, whose schedule was previously announced earlier this month. All three series will be part of the 50th Hardee's Rattler Weekend at South Alabama, with UARA Pro Late Model sanctioning for the "Baby Rattler" 125.
