The series can trace its roots back to the
ARTGO series which was formed in 1975.
NASCAR sanctioned the tour from 1998 until 2006. During that time, it was known as the
RE/MAX Challenge Series,
International Truck & Engine Midwest Series and finally the
NASCAR AutoZone Elite Division, Midwest Series. NASCAR discontinued the series in 2006 as car counts dwindled. The purchase of ARCA by NASCAR on April 27, 2018 indirectly reunited the series with the series' former sanctioning body. Bob Sargent's Track Enterprises announced to purchase the ARCA Midwest Tour from McKarns at the end of 2022, and rebranded it the ASA Midwest Tour. == Drivers ==
