Career Highlights
Case James is a 13-year-old fourth-generation racer from Newton, North Carolina, who carries an eight-time NASCAR Youth Series championship resume into CARS Tour Pro Late Model competition. Those eight titles span multiple Quarter-Midget classes — Senior Honda, Senior Animal, Light 160, Light Over Formula, and Modular Formula — making James one of the most decorated youth racing graduates in the current PLM field.
James chose the No. 15 to continue a family tradition — his father Colt James was a multi-time Pro Late Model champion at Southern National Motorsports Park with wins across the Viper Pro Late Model Series, CRA JEGS All-Star Tour, and PASS South Super Late Model Series. Colt retired from competitive racing to focus on Case's career, and the investment is paying off. Case won a Cook Out Summer Shootout race and took his first Legend Cars victory at the Spring Nationals at Highland Rim. He sits 6th in the 2026 CARS Tour PLM points standings through the early season.
