Championship Overview

The 2016 Buckeye Association for Auto Racing Super Pro Series season was the 20th season of the premier late model series in the Ohio Valley region of the United States.

Several historic events occurred during this season, with Brigitte Dusablon becoming the first female in history to win the Ohio 300, and Lucy Barnton becoming the first female driver's champion in series history. SAAR won the manufacturer's championship, winning five races.

Pre-season Notes[edit | edit source]

Several well known teams and drivers returned in 2016, with several new faces coming in. The Super Pro schedule expanded to 12 races. Starting in 2016, BAAR sanctions a Super Pro Triple Crown, the races being at Louisville, Columbus, and Slinger.

For the first time in series history, Rookie of the Year was contested. AAA signed on to be the title sponsor of the Rookie of the Year award. Bill Jones, driving for Genesis Racing, was awarded the ROTY title in 2016.

Schedule Notes[edit | edit source]

The schedule is comprised almost entirely of short tracks. The only road course races on the schedule will be at VIR in Virginia, and at Belle Isle as a companion event with V8 Champ Car.
