2014 National Pro Cup Championship season

The 2014 National Pro Cup Championship season is the debut season under the combined banner of the West Coast Late Model Series and the Ohio Valley Late Model Series.

Pre-season Changes
In 2013, the West Coast Late Model Series and the Ohio Valley Late Model Series agreed to a merger that would bring both series together to form a national late model championship series, known as the National Pro Cup Championship. The series will also make its first ever stop at the Long Beach street circuit as a companion event to V8 Champ Car's Grand Prix of Long Beach. With negotiations for a FARC Truck Tour date falling through, Long Beach organizers have approached the NPCC with the intention of hosting one of their races, especially with ATATS director Eric Derenberger, the man behind the idea to bring the Truck Tour to Long Beach, coming on board in 2014. In addition, the NPCC will compete on the infield road course at Daytona International Speedway to open the season. In addition, The Memorial now finds a new home at the NPCC as well as a new permanent venue for the event, the Circuit of the Americas. Pepsi Max also signed on to be the official sponsor of the NPCC pole award.

So far, the known manufacturers that will compete in the NPCC in 2014 are Saar, Lenard, Helsing, Lycoia, Isanni, and Farr.
