Colorado National Speedway suffered from a very low car count in the Super Stock Division in 2014. They combined a couple of races with the Pure Stock Division and found a crowd-pleasing solution. In an effort to carry that momentum forward, the 2015 schedule included 5 races that combined the classes.
