It would be a busy year for the Pro Late Model class with several longer races and memorial races included on the 2019 schedule.
Veteran Keith Nosbisch opened up the action by triumphing in the opening program on opening night March 2. The Pro Late Models would appear three times in the month of March and the winner would be the same, but the driver finishing second was different every time.
There would be 26 cars signed in for the Donnie Tanner Memorial, which would feature a 50-lap main. Devin Dixon laid claim to the victory on April 6.
When racing returned in May, Nosbisch bested a field of 12 on Full House Night. As June opened, Travis Varnadore would notch his first win of the year, capturing the Prevatt Family Memorial before the summer break.
Pro Late Models kicked off the second half od the year with the Jack Nosbisch Memorial Twin 20s. Keith Nosbisch took both of the wins.
After a visit by the Florida Late Model Series (won by Chuck Cumby), points racing resumed with the October 5 running of the Gene Slaughter Memorial Twin 20s. Keith Nosbisch took the first feature win, then found himself winner of the second feature after the winner was disqualified.
Jeff Mathews would bring a victory to his camp on November 2, but Nosbisch would solidify his points title with his ninth feature win on November 16.
The final event of 2019, the Dalton Myers Memorial 54, saw Kyle Bronson make a triumphant return in his only 2019 appearance.
