The FASCAR Pro Truck and Sportman Series is a pickup truck racing series that takes place in the Florida area. It was established by the Florida Association of Stock Car Automobile Racing organization as a developmental "stepping stone" for locals with an interest in stock car racing. Drivers have used this series to better prepare themselves for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in addition to the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The typical age of a driver in this series is between 16 and 18 years old. Most races take place in oval tracks. Warm temperatures year round translate into tough and treacherous races. This series has operated in three race tracks: Columbia Motorsports Park (1/2 mile), New Smyrna Speedway (1/2 mile), and Orlando Speedworld (3/8 mile).
