The SC-4 United States Central Championship is a stock car racing championship run under the guidance of the World Stock Car Association and its affiliate, the United States Developmental Racing League (USDRL).
History[edit | edit source]
In 2012, the World Stock Car Association unveiled the updated WSCC Global Pathway, intended to bridge the gap from junior series to international stock car racing; the first step was to create the developmental tier of stock car racing, which would be regionally focused to enable driver development.
The USDRL announced that the American Stock Car East and West championships would be reformed into the SC-4 United States East Championship and West Championships, with a new Central Championship added as well. The Central Championship was open to teams west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains, and would be open to all drivers aged 14 and older. All teams in the former ASCE/ASCW championships would be allowed to transfer their entries to the new championships.
In 2014, all three US championships cooperatively aligned their schedules to allow drivers to compete in two or three of the series per season. Each series would hold one round every three weeks.
The series officially announced Toyota as its official partner in late 2012; Chevrolet became the official series partner in 2017.

The championship features cars built to resemble the street version of the Chevrolet Malibu. The bodies are primarily constructed from fiberglass and feature the Ecotec 1.5L engine.
The car is used in multiple other SC-4 championships and is approved for use across the SC-4 series of championships.
