PASS Announces
“Road To The All-American 400” Program for 2012
CHARLOTTE, NC (March 20) – Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials announced today the creation of an exciting new program aimed at giving short track racers across the country a chance at racing in one of the sport’s most legendary events. In 2012, PASS will sanction the revitalized All-American 400 at the Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville, TN.

“The Road To The All-American 400” will give racers in other major events around the country a chance at racing at Nashville in October. Races that are currently part of the “Road To The All-American 400” include: the Apple Blossom 200 on May 5th at Wenatchee Valley’s Super Oval in Washington state, the Spears SRL Southwest Tour event on May 12th at the Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Nevada, the PASS South Firecracker 150 at Anderson Motor Speedway in South Carolina on July 3rd, and the Coors Light Montana 200 at Montana Raceway Park on July 21st. Two additional qualifiers are currently under negotiation and could be added at a later date.

Winners at these select qualifying events will be automatic qualifiers for the All-American 400. However, they will have 14 days to file their entry with PASS and pay their entry fee. Also, that driver has to exhaust every means necessary to qualify for the race (time trials, heat race, consolation race, etc). After they've exhausted all means, if they have still not gotten into the race, that's when they will be eligible to fall back on their guaranteed spot.

“We are really excited about announcing the “Road To The All-American 400,” said PASS President Tom Mayberry. “This race is so special to so many people that we wanted to do something to help racers from coast-to-coast be a part of the All-American 400. I just want to thank Larry [Spears SRL], Maria [Montana Raceway Park], Garrett [Wenatchee Valley’s Super Oval, and Sylvia [Anderson Motor Speedway] for being a part of this program and putting short track racers everywhere first. ”

The “Road To The All-American 400” could not happen without the work of great promoters from across the country and they are all excited about creating this opportunity for the racers.

“I think it’s a miracle that we’re way out here on the West Coast, about as far away from Nashville as you can be, and one of our racers is gonna get a chance to race in the All-American 400,” said Garrett Evans, a racer himself and owner of Wenatchee Valley’s Super Oval. “The All-American 400 is one of the top, marquee races in the country and a lot of the guys I have talked to out here are really excited about it. They never thought they would get a chance to run it. I think what Tom and everybody with PASS is doing is great for short track racing.”

“We are honored that the SPEARS SRL Southwest Tour Series has been selected by PASS to be part of their 2012 “Road to the All-American 400” program,” said Spears SRL Southwest Tour Managing Director Larry Collins. “Having the winner of our May 12th race at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway get an automatic starting position in the PASS All-American 400 is a great opportunity for one of our race teams to be part of one of the great traditions in our sport. Again, I want to thank Tom for making the Spears SRL Southwest Tour part of this great program.”


“Here in Glacier Country we are extremely excited to be a part of this legendary race,” said Montana Raceway Park Promoter Marie AuClaire. “We envision the best of the best for our crown jewel, the 22nd Annual Coors Light Montana 200, and to be a part of this national opportunity only fuels the intensity of this race. We look forward to watching the best of best vie for the All-American 400 title and to be a part of this is just great.”

With excitement building around the country, there is no doubt that the glory days of the All-American 400 are back again. Super Late Model drivers from all over North America will race with PASS for 400 laps at the famed Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville on Friday and Saturday October 5-6.

PASS to Sanction
All American 400
at Nashville in 2012
Race to return to traditional 400 lap distance; race winner to take home upwards of $30,000
All American 400 Lap Board HERE
CHARLOTTE, NC (January 3) – Officials today from the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) and Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville, TN announced today a major addition to the 2012 racing schedule. The PASS South Super Late Models will stage a 400 lap event on Saturday, October 6th at the historic .596 mile Tennessee oval. The race will be highlighted by a return to its traditional 400 lap distance and will pay $22,000 to the winner. There will be an additional $20 per lap awarded to the race leader which could push the winner’s total to $30,000.

“We are very honored that the PASS Super Late Models will be a part of returning the All American 400 to its rightful place as the premier Super Late Model event in the country,” said PASS President Tom Mayberry. “Fans and drivers have been begging to see the All American return to a true 400 lap test between man and machine and we are glad that we can make that happen.”

“It’s hard to express my emotions on this announcement, but being a 42 year native driver of this historic Fairgrounds Speedway, I’m so honored to be the promoter again and to work with such a great promoter as Tommy Mayberry to make this one of the biggest short track races in history,” said Fairgrounds Speedway Promoter Tony Formosa. “The All American 400 has not really been a true 400 since 2000. This used to be the biggest short track event in the country and thanks to PASS and working with the city of Nashville, it will be again. We’re working on making sure of that as I speak right now.”

In its heyday, the All American 400 attracted drivers from all over North America and saw such legendary winners as Darrell Waltrip and Rusty Wallace. With PASS, that heritage will return in 2012.

“When you look at the great drivers that race in PASS North from New England and Canada like Johnny Clark, Ben Rowe, Lonnie Sommerville and others and the great PASS South drivers like Jay Fogleman, Preston Peltier, Brandon Ward, Andy Loden and those guys, this is the type of event that they want to win and be a part of,” said Mayberry. “You take those competitors, along with all the other great Super Late Model drivers from the Midwest, West Coast and the Canadian Maritimes…that’s gonna be one heck of a show come October.”

STAFFORD SPEEDWAY ADDS PASS SLM EVENT
TO ITS 2012 SCHEDULE
(Stafford Springs, CT - Dec, 8) - Stafford Motor Speedway is continuing its theme of change with regards to its 2012 schedule. The 2012 schedule brought with it a host of new events in the form of extra distance and double feature nights, as well as a new Saturday event. The changes to the 2012 schedule continue as the Connecticut half-mile facility has announced that they will host the Pro All-Star Series (PASS) for the very first time on Sunday, August 26.

"We've had a lot of guys asking about racing at Stafford through the years and we finally were able to put a deal together with Mark Arute to bring a PASS race to Stafford," said PASS President Tom Mayberry. "This is huge for us to get a race in a Southern New England market at a premier race facility. It's hard to find a facility that is better than Stafford and we're very excited about this opportunity to race at Stafford Motor Speedway. I'm sure we'll have a large car count and we may even see some of the PASS South drivers make the trip up to Stafford for this race."

The PASS Super Late Models will see the return to Stafford of drivers like 4-time PASS North champion Ben Rowe, Mike Rowe, Travis Benjamin, Bill Penfold, and Kelly Moore, who each have prior experience racing at Stafford in Busch North (now K & N Pro Series East) competition. The PASS field also has second-generation drivers like Scott Dragon and DJ Shaw along with drivers like 6-time PASS North Champion Johnny Clark, Scott Alexander, Cassius Clark, Canadian drivers Lonnie Summerville and Alexander Gingras, and many more who will make up the starting field. Moore is a three-time winner at Stafford from the Busch North division and DJ Shaw's father Dale has driven to victory lane once at Stafford in a Busch North car, which may give them an advantage over the rest of the PASS field.

The PASS Super Late Models will be joined by the PASS Sportsman cars as part of the August 26 show, and as a bonus, Stafford's Limited Late Model cars will have the option of joining the Sportsman cars in a combination feature. Further event details will be released in the coming weeks.

"We're excited to bringing the PASS cars to Stafford," said Stafford Speedway COO/GM Mark Arute. "This is an event that we've had discussions about adding to our schedule for some time now, and with our radical new schedule, the timing was perfect to add this event. There is certainly a connection to the old Busch North Series with some of the PASS drivers, and we're thrilled to have the opportunity for our Limited Late Model cars to join the PASS Sportsman cars."

Sunoco Driven Challenge Offers Unique Nationwide Competition For Drivers

Sunoco and Joe Gibbs Racing
Partner to Recognize Drivers
From Five Regional Series
 

WWW.RACEGAS.COM
NAPLES, ME (October 14, 2011) - The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) has announced its participation in the Sunoco Driven Challenge for both the North and South Super Late Model divisions. Sunoco and Joe Gibbs Racing have partnered to develop the Sunoco Driven Challenge where drivers across the country have a chance to compete for a unique opportunity to test with one of NASCAR’s top teams.

“Sunoco has been with the Pro All Stars Series since day one,” said Tom Mayberry, President of PASS. “We are proud to be associated with the Sunoco Driven Challenge, Sunoco and Joe Gibbs Racing for this great opportunity for the racing community.”

Drivers in five qualifying grassroots racing series will compete in a uniquely developed points system throughout the 2012 season to determine one overall winner. The winner will receive a test in a JGR NASCAR K&N Pro Series car at the conclusion of the season, a tour of JGR’s Huntersville, NC headquarters and a meeting with JGR President, J.D. Gibbs.

There will also be an opportunity for one lucky fan and a guest to join in the winning driver’s experience with an all expenses paid trip to Charlotte, NC where they will tour the JGR race shop, meet J.D. Gibbs, and attend the test session. Prizes will also include Joe Gibbs Driven oil products, Sunoco fuel, and the opportunity to attend a driving school. The consumer promotion will begin in 2012.

“Sunoco is committed to fueling victories both on and off the track,” said Cynthia Archer, Sunoco’s vice president of marketing. “The Joe Gibbs Racing partnership helps strengthen that commitment by fueling the dreams of the next generation of drivers while also rewarding one lucky fan.”

“We’re excited to have the opportunity to work with Sunoco on the Challenge,” said J.D. Gibbs, president of JGR. “Identifying talented young drivers is obviously something that has always been of interest to NASCAR’s top teams and certainly when you look at our team there are a lot of great stories behind the development of our guys. This has been something we’ve participated in over the past few years through our Joe Gibbs Driven oil brand and a Sunoco partnership allows us to enhance the program.”

To be eligible drivers must be entered in one of the following grassroots series: PASS North, PASS South, CRA, ASA Midwest, or SRL Southwest. Each week points will be totaled based upon a driver’s finish in their respective Series’ race and once each Series concludes its season, a winner will be determined.

All participating drivers will be evaluated based on a standardized points system with the top 10 drivers in each race, as well as the pole sitter, earning points. Points will then accumulate across the season and will be standardized based on the total number of races in each series. The driver with the highest average number of points at the end of the season will be named the Sunoco Driven Challenge champion and win the grand prize of a test in a JGR K&N Pro Series car.

MAY 12th
 
TOP THREE SLM: L to R - Travis Benjamin #17, 2nd; Winner Johnny Clark #54
and Martin Latulippe #84qc, 3rd.
Johnny Clark PASS North SLM
Winner at Star Speedway
Rusty Bryant Scores first PASS Mod Win
EPPING NH (5/12) Johnny Clark overcame mechanical problems and a shot gun starting position to win Saturday night’s Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North 150 at Epping New Hampshire’s Star Speedway. Clark gave race leader Travis Benjamin the bump and run on lap 144 and led the final six laps to capture his first win of the young season. Benjamin settled for second with Quebec racer Martin LaTulippe finished in third. Beech Ridge winner Joey Doiron raced under the checkers fourth and Ben Rowe was fifth.

Engine issues kept Clark out of the qualifying rounds but the defending series champ worked his way into the top five before the half way mark. Benjamin had taken over the top spot from Ben Rowe at lap 62 and it looked like he had the car to capture his first PASS super late model win since 2008. Clark took the lead on a lap 103 restart and held it until Benjamin reclaimed it under green on lap 126. Five laps later a power surge darkened the entire race track, setting up a red flag period that miraculously saw all competitors come to a safe stop. Once power was restored Benjamin held the point with Clark, Donnie Whitten and defending race winner Derek Ramstrom all giving chase .Ramstrom had gone from front to back several times and Whitten was about to make a charge at the lead but both made off track excursions in the closing laps, relegating Ramstrom to 13th and Whitten to 10trh at the stripe.

The race was slowed by ten caution periods and one red flag. The top ten finished all 150 laps and Clark’s margin of victory was .414 seconds. Heat race wins went to Lonnie Sommerville, Ben Rowe and Joey Doiron.

Once again a strong PASS Mod field answered the call for their 40 lap showdown and when the dust cleared it was PASS Mod rookie Rusty Bryant in victory lane in only his second start in the open wheel touring division. Dana Reed earned his second podium of 2012 with a second place run and Travis Buzzell came home in third. Sumner Sessions and Scott Alexander rounded out the top five.

Mitch Miller took the lead from Allan Wilson on lap 17 and Miller was in charge at the half way mark with Wilson and Dale Shaw and Bryant in tow. Bryant powered to the point with Dale Shaw on his bumper and Andy Shaw now up to challenge them both. The defending Champ wanted second but the veteran wasn’t about to give it up without a fight and the contact that resulted sent Dale to the pits for the night. Andy salvaged an eighth place finish.

The PASS North super late models take a weekend off before heading back to New Hampshire for round #2 of the bull ring tour at North Woodstock’s immaculate quarter mile, White Mountain Motorsports Park on Saturday May 26th. The PASS Mods wait until Sunday June 3rd to return to action in a PASS triple header at Groveton New Hampshire’s Riverside Speedway.

Charlotte, NC 5/12/12- Wake County Speedway, the less than quarter mile located in Raleigh, North Carolina, played host to the PASS South Series super late models Friday night celebrating fifty consecutive years of racing.

“Wow, what a race that was right there,” cheered an excited Brandon Ward as he exited the car in victory lane. “Man, I never thought in a million years I would get my first PASS South Series win at a track like Wake County. All my guys worked their butts off to give me an unbelievable car tonight and it showed. I’ve been trying so hard to get Jeff Day a win in this series and tonight we were finally able to do it.”

Ward was fortunate enough to redraw the pole position after qualifying ninth during the series redraw of the top ten qualifiers and never looked back. #31 Kyle Grissom who set fast time during the day’s qualifying session and started to the outside of Ward challenged the #62 machine early on riding right on the bumper of Ward and making contact several times over the first thirty-two laps. Just as Ward started to put fellow competitors #1 Justin Allison and #29 Landon Cling a lap down, the two made contact resulting in Grissom losing a half a straightaway distance to the leader. A pair of quick movers early on in the form of #4 Jay Fogleman closed in to the third position, as did Gray Gaulding after starting tenth.

Still clean and green at the event’s halfway mark, Ward continued to lead over a distant Grissom in second followed by Fogleman and series veteran #26 Preston Peltier. With the race inside forty laps to go and still no slowing the field, business amongst drivers picked up on track. Caruth, in his first season racing on pavement shined on the tight bull ring making a move that saw him go from fifth to second all in a matter of Wake County’s 100 foot back stretch. This was exactly what Ward needed to almost circle the field entirely. Inside twenty laps to go early front runners Fogleman and Grissom battled to stay within the top five and on the lead lap.

Brandon Ward once again showed no signs of mercy or letting up in the closing laps as he lapped the field all the way up to the fourth position as the checkered flag flew through the air. Preston Peltier made it back-to-back podium finishes with his second place finish. Third place man Ross Kenseth did the same after scoring his first series win in the series’ last outing at Orange County Speedway just two weeks ago.

“I’ve been racing in this series as a car owner since day one and maybe I’ve missed fielding a car in about twelve races during that time, and you couldn’t have wrote a better script than this one tonight,” stated Jeff Day, car owner of Ward’s #62 ride. “I can’t even begin to describe how easy Brandon is to work with out there. He really is an awesome racecar driver and I’m proud that he was the guy that got this #62 Kevin Powell Ford/KPMoto.com race team in victory lane tonight.”

Next up for the “BIG BOYS WITH THEIR BAD FAST TOYS” PASS South Super Late Model Series will be the CV Products 100 at the Concord Speedway located in Concord, North Carolina on Saturday night May 26th in conjunction with the area’s race weeks.

Super Limiteds Winner: #5 Austin Leitner
Austin Leitner Becomes First Two Time Winner in PASS/CCS Super Limited Series History
Graham, NC 5/12/12- Austin Leitner became the first two time winner in the PASS/CCS Super Limited Series in 2012 winning the Capital City Clash/Bull Ring Tough Guy Challenge 50 presented by Bio-Specialists. Leitner charged to the front early in the fifty lap race making a pass from fifth to second just five laps in on his way to the win. Jody Measemer continued to be the bridesmaid as he scored his third second place finish in four races. Twelve year old Tate Fogleman who has already scored a win this season rounded out the podium.

Jeff Batten in his #49 machine and #57 Cole Timm lead the field to the green flag but it was Leitner, from TBA, North Carolina, that stole the show early in the going after a mid-pack starting position. Timm, the latest series winner having won at Ace Speedway just two weeks ago, jumped out to the lead to get the race started leading the first nine laps before succumbing to Leitner’s #5 machine. Meanwhile Jody Measemer quickly recovered from a lap three spin that sent him to the rear after starting fourth. The veteran driver managed to take over the second place position just fourteen circuits in and then turned his focus on Leitner.

A lap nineteen incident in turn two involving track regular #16 Robert Arch that ended his night with heavy nose damage forced officials to display the caution flag once again. This was all that Measemer needed to take the lead on a lap twenty restart. His time at the lead position was short lived as he never really cleared Leitner’s machine allowing the youngster to regain the lead position on lap twenty six. From there it was all Leitner as he cruised to the win leading the final twenty four laps on his way to the win after winning the Hickory event in early April.

“We had a good car from the time we unloaded we just had to start a little deeper in the field because of the redraw. I fell back there a bit right at the start but as soon as we got to go green flag racing my Mid State Roofing Chevy came alive and had a great battle with Jody (Measemer),” said Leitner. “It’s pretty cool to be the series first ever repeat winner. I just want say a huge thanks to all my guys who help make this him happen.”

Next up for the  PASS/CCS Super Limited Late Models is the  PASS/CCS 50 at the Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, North Carolina on Saturday night May 19th.

Joey Doiron Breaks Through
at Beech Ridge
Scarborough ME (5/5) Berwick Maine’s Joey Doiron charged to the lead on lap 87 of Saturday’s PASS North Southern Maine Motors.com 150 at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway to earn a convincing victory, the first for the series’ 2010 Rookie of the Year. Lonnie Sommerville raced home in second followed by Derek Ramstrom, Cassius Clark and DJ Shaw. Doiron came from tenth on the grid and drove under Sommerville and race leader Shaw for a lead he would never relinquish.

Doiron’s best previous finish, a fourth, came in this event one year ago.

Doiron considers Beech Ridge his home track, and his victory comes after two seasons of trying to carry the PASS feature checkers. Despite his Rookie of the Year title in 2010, Doiron has suffered through more than his share of mechanical issues and on track incidents.The family– focused race teams’ perseverance paid off Saturday as the young man drove off to the most convincing win that PASS fans have witnessed in recent memory.

The season opener proved to be a day for the young guns to shine. Aaron Ricker, Shaw and Sommerville shared the lead over the first two thirds of the race and 2011 Co-Rookie of the Year Kyle DeSouza, Ramstrom, and Brad Babb spent most of the day contending for the top spot. Cassius Clark (4th) and Gary Smith (8th) both came from the back of the 32 car field and they were the only two in the top ten that have more than a few years experience on the tour’s tracks.

2011 race winner and defending series champion Johnny Clark had a race he’d rather forget, as did Ben and Mike Rowe. Clark qualified through the consolation rounds and started nineteenth. Clark picked up eight spots by lap 21 but he was sliding back 20 laps later and it was clear that there were problems with the 54. A trip to the pits under caution for a fix seemed to do the trick and he was back in the top five by lap 102. But the same driveline problem resurfaced, shutting off Clark’s ride intermittently and sending him sideways on more than one occasion. Only experience and determination allowed him to salvage a 16th place finish. Ben Rowe never seemed to have a handle on the speedway, despite his teams’ best efforts. Rowe had to settle for 22nd at the checkers. Mike Rowe had a race similar to his sons’ and the best the legend could muster was 18th.

The top eight all completed 150 green flag laps in just over an hour. The race was slowed by six caution periods, and Doiron’s late race dominance led to a 6.942 margin of victory. Fast lap was set by DJ Shaw (15.316/78.271). Qualifying wins went to Ricker, Hubbard and Shaw. Johnny Clark and Donnie Whitten prevailed in the consolation rounds.

The PASS Mod field had its’ strongest opening day showing ever and it was an all Shaw show from green to checker. Andy Shaw sat on the pole with Dale Shaw outside, and the pair swapped the lead on several occasions before the defending race and series champion prevailed. Dale chased Andy to the checkers and Dana Reed raced home third with Mark Lundblad Jr. and Travis Buzzell fourth and fifth. Scott Alexander and Andy Shaw claimed their heat races.

The PASS Sportsman suffered from the dreaded yellow fever early in their 75 lap feature. Five of the seven caution flags flew in the first 30 laps but once the field hit their stride the racing was intense. Carey Martin worked his way by Clyde Hennessey on a lap 28 restart and never gave up the lead, despite Craig Smith’s late race charge. Mike Clark made his trip from Littleton New Hampshire worthwhile with a solid third; Clyde Hennessey and Scott Dorr settled for fourth and fifth. Jarrod Ledger and Nate Leavitt earned the front row starting spots in their qualifiers.

The PASS Super Late Models and Mods are in action Saturday May 12th when the bull ring, Epping New Hampshire’s Star Speedway, hosts the two series. Race Time is 4:30 PM. The PASS Sportsman take a break until Sunday June 3rd when all three PASS North touring divisions visit Riverside Speedway in Groveton New Hampshire.

The Road to the All American 400
Kicks Off This Weekend at the Wenatchee Valley Super Oval
Charlotte, NC 5/2/12- While it’s a big weekend for the PASS North Series as they kick off their twelfth consecutive year of racing in 2012 this Saturday night at the Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, Maine. Something just as big for the sanctioning body will get underway some 3,019 miles due west as “The Road to the All American 400” at the Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville, Tennessee kicks off its journey at the Wenatchee Valley Super Oval in Wenatchee, Washington.

“The Road to the All American 400” is a program announced by PASS in March aimed at giving short track racers across the country a chance at earning automatic qualifiers for the All-American 400 on October 5-6th. This weekend’s Apple Blossom 200 that kicks off Wenatchee Valley Super Oval’s Big 5 super late model series will be the first opportunity for a driver to punch their ticket to the 400 lap race in October.

According to Wenatchee Valley Super Oval track owner and super late model competitor Garrett Evans, who plans to race himself in Nashville, the program that the officials of PASS came up with has this weekend’s Apple Blossom 200 buzzing with anticipation. Several heavy hitters in form of multi time NASCAR Northwest Series Champion Gary Lewis, Shane Mitchell, Owen Riddle and 2011 winner of “The Race” at the North Wilkesboro (NC) Speedway Chris Eggleston are all expected to be at the ¼ mile track Saturday night.

“Without a doubt we’ve had all kinds of interest from drivers all over the Northwest and even Western Canada about our race because of the possibility of earning a guaranteed starting spot for the All American 400,” said Evans. “I know whoever wins the Apple Blossom 200 this weekend will definitely make the trip to Nashville knowing they will race in one of the most historic short track races in the country.”

A driver who knows all about qualifying and winning big races is the above mentioned Eggleston. The Colorado driver took home $75,000 at the North Wilkesboro Speedway winning the PASS sanctioned “The Race” a little over a year ago. Driving this weekend for Washington based Short Track Enterprises (STE) Eggleston hopes an Apple Blossom win could lead to an All American 400 start.

“I’m really thankful for the opportunity from STE to be able to race in this weekend’s Apple Blossom 200. I was just texting with Travis Bennett the team owner a few days ago and he was all excited when he found out the winner this weekend gets a starting position in the All American 400 and was telling me all about it. I’ve raced at Nashville before so I know what an awesome and fast track it is. I know a win this weekend in Wenatchee would sure go a long way in adding that race to our schedule this year,” explained Eggleston.

Other event’s for “The Road to the All American 400” are just around the corner with the Spears SRL Southwest Tour event on May 12th at the Bullring at Las Vegas (NV) Motor Speedway, the PASS South Firecracker 150 at Anderson (SC) Motor Speedway on July 3rd, and the Coors Light Montana 200 at Montana Raceway Park in Kalispell, Montana on July 21st.

Entries for the event have begun to flow in already to for the legendary 400 lap event in October.
Cole Timm Makes It Four Different Winners in the First Four PASS/CCS Super Limited Series Winning at Ace
Graham, NC 4/30/12- One couldn’t ask for more parity than drivers and fans alike are getting in the all new PASS/CCS Super Limited late model division. Friday night at the Ace Speedway in Altamahaw, North Carolina, in the series first stand alone event away from the PASS South super late models, young gun Cole Timm captured the win making it four different race winners in the series first four races of 2012. Kyle Beattie who has been fast at every race this season but has yet to grab a win finished second followed by Tate Fogleman in third.

Timm became a bit of a surprising winner after posting just the fourth fastest time in series qualifying that saw Hickory Motor Speedway race winner Austin Leitner set fast time earlier in the day. After the series redraw of the top five qualifiers Jody Measemer grabbed the pole position with eventual winner Timm taking a backseat to the fifth starting position at the drop of the green.

It took two complete restarts to get the first lap in as newcomer Tyler Dayton went for a spin entering turn one. Once the field finally took the green Jody Measemer put his #98 Bull City Racecars machine out front before a lap three caution would slow the field once again. Measemer once again would take command of the field while others behind him scrambled for positions. Tyler Dayton’s night would go from bad to worse as motor issues sent him behind the wall after stalling on the track off of turn four bringing out the yellow flag on lap nineteen.

Measemer continued to hold his ground at the helm of the field over the event’s midway point all the while Timm had made his way to second passing fellow competitors Beattie and Fogleman along the way. With just eight laps remaining a shot by Timm’s #57 Triad Racing Technology Toyota Camry to the rear bumper of Measemer’s machine sent Measemer in spin cycle ending his reign at the lead and bringing out the yellow for the final time of the night. Thirteen year old Timm then sailed to the victory scoring his first series win, but before he could celebrate an irritated Measemer awaited him to discuss things in victory lane.

“There was no intentional contact there whatsoever,” Timm explained to the crowd in victory lane after a heated discussion with Measemer. “I love racing clean. I would never turn anybody intentionally. I was just doing all I could to get this win tonight and I overdrove it getting into the corner and got into him. I understand he’s mad after leading every lap and not getting the win but like I told him it was a racing deal and it wasn’t on purpose.”
While that may have been Timm’s perspecitive who was able to claim the win and write his chapter in the history books at a PASS/CCS Super Limited late model winner, Jody Measemer had totally different thoughts.

“We had a great car and lead the first forty-two laps and then after that last restart Timm overdrove it going into turn one and basically dumped me,” explained Measemer. “I don’t know if he felt that was his only shot or what? I am sure at that age that he’s learning to work on car control every week, but sometimes what’s happening on the track is a little over his head. It’s just ashamed to lead all those laps and have the best car and get taken out like that.”

The next race for the PASS/CSS Super Limited late models is back in conjunction with the PASS South Series super late models as the tour rolls into the Wake County Speedway in Raleigh , North Carolina on Friday night May 11th for the Capital City Clash 50.

Orange County Top Three: #26 Preston Peltier (3rd-left),

.
With a Little Luck on His Side
Ross Kenseth Scores His First
Career PASS South Series Win
at Orange County
Charlotte, NC 4/23/12- Ross Kenseth proved Saturday night at the Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, North Carolina that in racing sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. Kenseth scored his first career PASS South Series win as he passed Preston Peltier who experienced a broken left front lower control arm with just three laps remaining, winning the Orange Blossom Special 150.

Kenseth, who entered the event fifth in championship standings, showed he had a fast car before the green flag dropped on the 150 lap race as he set fast time during series qualifying earlier in the day. After the redraw of the top fastest qualifiers that took time in the twenty-six car starting field Kenseth would be shuffled back to fifth and Gray Gaulding was the lucky driver to lead the field to green.

Fourteen year old Gaulding in his #2 Krispy Kreme Toyota wasted no time settling into the top position. Just as swiftly as Gaulding took the lead, track favorite Jay Fogleman from nearby Durham, North Carolina experienced transmission problems sending his #4 Bull City Racecars machine falling to the rear of the field by lap ten. Two single car incidents slowed the field twice within the first thirty laps before a two car wreck involving #26 Tyler Church and #20 Steve Legendre sent Church’s car into the outside wall in turn one on lap forty-two.

While under caution for the incident #98 Ryan Blaney, who was in the third position at the time, and Jay Fogleman made contact slightly damaging the #98 nose while Fogleman was passing the field for the lucky dog award. Despite the damage Blaney’s Carswell Motorsports team made the decision to stay out as the field went back to green. Just six laps shy of the halfway point Legendre’s motor let go just as the car entered turn one spitting oil on the racing surface sending three cars including that of defending winner #33 Roger Lee Newton into the outside wall.

The lap seventy restart was Blaney’s opportunity to spring to the lead over Gaulding who ended the night leading the most laps in the 150 lap event. As the race came down to twenty-five to go #26 Preston Peltier put pressure on Blaney for the top spot before passing him with ease and setting sail away from the competition. Peltier opened up a five car length lead over Kenseth who had now made his way to second when sparks began to emerge from Peltier’s Chevrolet with just four laps to go. That was all Kenseth needed to score his first series win in just his fourth series start.

“I feel bad for Preston (Peltier) because I’ve lost a few races just like that, but that’s racing as they say,” stated Kenseth in victory lane. “You can say we lucked into this one tonight, but then again Jamie (Rouleau) and the rest of the guys gave me a car that was good enough to be in the position to win and capitalize on Preston’s bad luck. I know we’ve struggled a bit out of the gate, but I think people can see things are headed in the right direction. It just feels real good to get my first win here in the PASS South Series and be back in victory lane.”

Next race for the PASS South Series “Big Boys with Their Bad Fast Toys” is the Capital City Clash/Bull Ring Tough Guy Challenge 125 at the Wake County Speedway in Raleigh, North Carolina on Friday night May 11th.

Tate Fogleman Makes First Career
Full Size Car Win a Memorable One
at Orange County Speedway
in PASS/CCS Super Limited Series
Graham, NC 4/25/12- In just his third ever race behind the wheel of a full size racecar Tate Fogleman, son of PASS South Series driver Jay Fogleman, scored his first career PASS/CCS Super Limited late model win at the Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, North Carolina Saturday night. Fogleman piloted his #4 Bull City Racecar Chevy Impala to the win after taking the green flag from the third position. Jody Measemer, also in a Bull City racecar, made it back-to-back runner up finishes with his second place finish. Austin Leitner was the final driver to take home a trophy with his third place finish.

“This is pretty cool to win at my first big car race at my home track with all these friends and family here at Orange County Speedway,” stated Fogleman in victory lane. “I had a real good car that drove really well through the turns. I just want to thank my dad, Bull City Racecars, and everyone that helped me get here tonight.”

Kyle Beattie once again set fast time during series qualifying and was able to redraw the number one starting position out of the top five qualifiers. At the drop of the green Beattie wasted no time getting out front and taking control of the top spot. The first twenty-seven laps were all controlled by the #84 machine of Beattie before Jody Measemer decided to make his move for the number one position just past the event’s halfway point.

Measemer battled side by side with Beattie for close to ten laps before taking the top position. This was all that eventual winner Tate Fogleman and fellow competitor Austin Leitner needed to make it a four car race for the top spot. With Fogleman around the early leader Beattie it was time for the twelve year old to make his move for the lead position. With just eight laps to go Fogleman got around Bull City Racecar teammate Measemer for the lead.

Things looked to be in the bag for Fogleman until the #49 Jeff Batten, making his series debut, went for a spin with just two laps to go bringing out the yellow and setting up a green-white-checker sprint to the finish. The young Fogleman made his dad proud and did what he needed to do to hold on for his first win behind the wheel of a full size car.

“I didn’t have a good night at all behind the wheel of my super late model, but seeing this boy (Tate Fogleman) in victory lane makes me not even care what happen with that car right now. Plus to have a pair of Bull City Racecars go one two with Jody Measemer finishing second makes for a good night and says we are doing something right at the end of the day,” said the elder Jay Fogleman.

The next race for the PASS/CCS Super Limited late models is the Ace Summer Tour 50 at the Ace Speedway in Altamahaw, North Carolina on Friday night April 27th. For more information on this event as well all Carolina Completion Sports sanction events visit www.raceccs.com.

Lee NH (4/16) J.R. Baril powered past pole sitter Carey Martin on the initial green flag and led all 75 laps to capture Sunday's PASS Sportsman season opener at Lee (NH) USA Speedway. Martin chased Baril to the checkers with Joe Pastore Jr., Crag Smith and Rusty Poland third through fifth.

Baril was out front all the way but the win was by no means a runaway. Martin pressured Baril for all but the final five stanzas, trying every move and trick in the book to wrestle the lead away as the pair of veterans battled for the lead. Martin got to Baril's left rear on several occasions and drew even with ten to go, but the defending PASS Sportsman champ had to back out for a spinning car in the low groove, ending his best shot at the win.

Baril was up to Martin's challenge as the Lee veteran handled all the pressure Martin could muster as the pair worked lapped traffic. All eyes in the the full house at Lee USA glued on the battle up front, as well as a nose to tail war for third through fifth between Pastore, Smith and Poland.

The race was slowed by four caution periods for minor incidents. The top ten all completed the 75 lap distance.

The PASS Sportsman will join the PASS North Super Late Models and Mods at Scarborough Maine's Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on May 5th. The first green flag waves at 3:00 PM.

Kyle Grissom Makes First Super Late Model Win a Memorable One at the Easter Bunny 150
It’s no secret that Kyle Grissom has had success throughout the late model stock car ranks, but just because one’s had that success doesn’t mean it automatically transfers to the super late model ranks as many have found out. Kyle Grissom, however; wasted no time to making his presence known to the super late model world winning the PASS South Easter Bunny 150 Saturday night at the Hickory Motor Speedway in Hickory, North Carolina.

Grissom, son of 1993 NASCAR Nationwide Series Champion Steve Grissom, was able to fend off challenges from several different drivers on multiple occasions before pulling away for the win in the final ten laps. The PASS South Series newcomer set fast time in qualifying before leading on five different occasions for a total of 101 laps behind the wheel of his #31 Harrison’s Workwear Chevy Impala in route to his first series win.

“None of us expected to win this quick in the PASS South Series, especially at a race like the Easter Bunny, but Greg Marlowe built us an awesome racecar that was hooked up all night long. I had such good forward bite through the center of the turns that I was able to just focus on saving my right rear tire,” said Grissom in victory lane. “I had a lot of fun racing against Andy (Loden) and everyone else that we raced against there at the end for the win because it was just good clean racing. That’s why there’s so many people here tonight in the grandstands at Hickory to watch this race; they know they are going to see some good racing when the PASS Series comes to town. A huge thanks goes out to Marlowe Chassis, Harrison’s Workwear, and RE Suspensions for this one. Hopefully we can do it again in two weeks at Orange County.”

Early on in the 150 lap event it was several familiar names in the form of Ryan Blaney and Andy Loden that took turns leading due to top ten qualifying efforts before succumbing to Grissom’s #31 machine. The starting field stayed tight all night long as thirty of the thirty-two car starting field was still on track at the event’s halfway point, before a string of cautions for minor incidents ended a few drivers nights just past lap seventy-five.

Just as the event was heading into the final stretch, series points leader Preston Peltier, experienced a problem that sent him fading through the field. The mechanical issue quickly turned into a bigger issue for the former series champion when his #26 Sig’s Tire Center Chevy Impala got collected in a three car incident ending his night early. The final caution of the night set up a twenty-five lap sprint to the finish when two former Easter Bunny 150 race winners, Ben Rowe and Ryan Lawler, tangled in turn four battling for the sixth position.

Brad Keselowski Racing development driver Landon Cling finished a career best second after having to race his way into the feature event through one of two last chance races for non qualified drivers after time trials. Cling, who is contending for the series championship in 2012, methodically made his way through the field picking off cars one at a time before edging third place finisher Trey Mitchell and PASS North Series regular Cassius Clark for the position on the white flag lap.

Mitchell, making his first series start of 2012, and Clark, driving for southern series car owner Dick Woodman, put on a show for the fans to remember that packed the house at the Hickory Motor Speedway. The two drivers raced nose-to-tail and side-by-side throughout the second half of the event before settling for their above stated positions. Last year’s Orange Blossom Special 125 winner at the Orange County Speedway, Roger Lee Newton rounded out the top five.

Next race for the PASS South Series “Bad Boys with the Bad Fast Toys” is the Orange Blossom Special 150 at the Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, North Carolina on Saturday April 21st.

Austin Leitner Sets Fast in Route to PASS/CCS Super Limited Win
at Hickory Motor Speedway
Graham, NC 4/9/12- Round two of the 2012 PASS/CCS Super Limited Late Model Series at the Hickory Motor Speedway in Hickory, North Carolina was all Austin Leitner as he piloted his #5 Mid-State Roofing machine to victory winning the Easter Bunny 50 after setting fast time during qualifying. Jody Measemer finished second after putting pressure on Leitner early and often for the win, while Cole Timm finished third taking home the last piece of hardware on the night.

Leitner made his win look easy at times setting the fastest time during practice, qualifying and then grabbing the lead early after redrawing the second place starting position after the series mandatory redraw of the top five qualifiers. Justin Carroll would lead the field to green after his good luck redraw of the pole position.

Just twelve laps in the fifty lap event #02 Walker Yates went for a single car spin slowing the race for the first time of the night. As the race drew closer to the halfway point several cars began fading such as #57 Just Carroll and #84 Kyle Beattie after strong qualifying runs. Another solo spin this time by #4 Tate Fogleman slowed the field on lap twenty-seven. The restart to go back racing on lap twenty-eight proved to be too much for a pair of drivers as #16 Hayes Goodson and #22 Tyler Howell got together coming out of treacherous turn four. Both cars would suffer damage and be forced to the pits for repairs prior to rejoining the field.

The final twenty-two laps stayed clean and green as Leitner became the second PASS/CCS Super Limited Late Model Series winner in history. Cole Timm’s third place finish was good enough to move him to the championship point standing over Tate Fogleman and Walker Yates.

“This is awesome being here in victory lane at a historic track like Hickory,” noted Leitner in victory lane. “We had a good car all day here and it showed in qualifying and again in the race. I’m looking forward to Orange County in a couple of weeks so we can do it again.”

Next up for the PASS/CCS Super Limited Late Models is the Orange Blossom Special 50 at the Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, North Carolina on Saturday April 21st as the series stays in conjunction with the PASS South Series super late model tour in 2012.

Preston Peltier Snaps Last Season’s Winless Drought by Winning the
PASS South Season Opener at Dillon
Charlotte, NC 3/11/12- Last season Preston Peltier didn’t win a single race after being crowned the PASS South Series champion at the end of 2010. Saturday night as the PASS South Series kicked off their 2012 season schedule at the Dillon Motor Speedway in Dillon, South Carolina that didn’t seem to matter much, as he and his #26 Johnson Motorsports team got back to victory lane winning the 2012 South Carolina Clash 150 and setting the tone for a season long points battle.

Peltier, who took the green flag from the fourteenth position, had his work cut out for him early on having missed out on the series redraw of the top ten fastest cars in qualifying to decide exact starting positions. It was former NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and new PASS South Series competitor Craig Goess that set fast time during qualifying, but managed to pull #10 in the redraw, putting Jay Fogleman and Brandon Ward on the front row for the drop of the green.

The tough turn four at the Dillon Motor Speedway quickly took a bite out of the field just four laps in with a six car incident just in front of eventual winner Preston Peltier, involving fast qualifier Craig Goess, teammate Gray Gaulding, Kevin Floars, and Clay Rogers; all were done for the night. Ken Lilley and Garrett Campbell were also involved but managed to continue.

“You have no idea how close the wreck at the beginning of the race was for us. I could see it happening because a lot of those guys were racing really hard early on and you just can’t do that especially off of turn four. When it happened I saw a hole open up and mashed the gas hoping to make it through and we did,” said Peltier.

Besides a debris caution just a few laps later, the field stayed clean and green over the next seventy laps allowing drivers to settle into race mode. Brandon Ward in his #62 KPmoto.com Chevy Impala paced the field early on before youngster Steven Nasse took the top spot away on lap thirty-two. Initially, the quickest car on the move was the #66 of Steve Wallace after brake problems plagued the team during qualifying, resulting in a twentieth place starting position. Wallace had made his way inside the top ten just as a lap eighty-eight caution for a solo spin by Ken Lilley bunched the field back together. During the caution period Johnny Sauter’s #5 machine went up in smoke while in the fourth position, ending what could have been a good night in his PASS South Series debut.

The double file restart allowed Ward, Fogleman, Ben Rowe, and Peltier to challenge Nasse for the top spot and that’s exactly what they did, as a bad restart by Nasse sent Ward to the front. It didn’t take long for the yellow to wave again for what ended up being the final time of the night. The final restart on lap 101 allowed Peltier to take the lead and cruise to victory by nearly one second over second place finisher Jay Fogleman. Steven Nasse, PASS North regular Ben Rowe, and Kyle Grissom rounded out the top five.

“We gave away so many races last year and I really felt bad for my team. We all work so hard to get this car ready every week. So to be able to get a win in the first race of 2012 feels awesome,” stated Preston in victory lane.

Local Racer Clay Thomas Wins Inaugural PASS/CCS Super Limited Late Model Race at Dillon Motor Speedway
Graham, NC 3/12/12- It was local racer Clay Thomas who became the first driver to record his name in the history books as the inaugural winner of the PASS/CCS Super Limited Late Models at the Dillon Motor Speedway in Dillon, South Carolina winning the South Carolina Clash 50. Thomas was declared the winner in post race tech after Kyle Beattie’s machine was found illegal and was disqualified. Austin Leitner nabbed the runner-up spot with Asher Johnson rounding out the podium.

Prior to being found outside the rules Beattie set fast time during qualifying earlier in the day. After the series redraw of the top five qualifiers Kyle Beattie managed to keep his number one starting position with his lucky pick of the number one pill. As the green flag dropped on the inaugural race Beattie put his #84 Kyle Beattie Racing Chevy Impala out in front of the ten car field.

Just as the field was getting settled in for the fifty lap event Tate Fogleman, son of PASS South Series driver Jay Fogleman, went for a solo spin in his #4 Bull City Racecars machine on lap eight bringing out the yellow flag. Just four laps later after going back green another youngster in the form of Hayes Goodson, who’s dad is also a successful super late model driver, got loose exiting turn two and went spinning down the back straightaway displaying the yellow once again.

While the laps clicked away with Beattie out front it was local racer Clay Thomas who began moving his way to the front. Thomas was able to get around fellow competitor Austin Leitner just before the caution waived for the final time on lap forty-two setting up an eight lap sprint to the finish. With Beattie out front, Thomas in second, and Leitner rounding out the third spot the field took the green flag for the final time. No changes would take place up front among the top three positions as the first checkered flag would fall on the inaugural event for the series.

“This was a great field of cars and a great race for our inaugural event here in the PASS/CCS Super Limited Late Model class. Dillon is a tough racetrack for even the most veteran drivers and yet all these young kids handled themselves very well out there tonight,” stated race director Ollie Spain of PASS/CCS. “I hate that our first winner had to be crowned in tech line and not victory lane but that’s part of racing and you have to be inside the rules that we have set forth in this class.”

Next up for the PASS/CCS Super Limited Late Models is the Easter Bunny 50 at the Hickory Motor Speedway in Hickory, North Carolina on Saturday April 7th as the series stays in conjunction with the PASS South Series super late model tour in 2012.

Many New Faces Set To Challenge Standard Bearers For PASS
South Title in 2012
CHARLOTTE, NC (February 29) – To say that fans and drivers alike are anticipating the 2012 Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model season would be a vast understatement. Defending PASS South Champion Ryan Blaney moves up to the NASCAR K&N Pro Series and will also debut in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Blaney will continue to run a limited PASS South schedule, but that leaves the field wide open to returning veterans and bright-eyed newcomers for the championship.

Clemson University student Ross Kenseth makes the move from the Midwest Late Model wars to the Southeast’s tough short tracks in 2012. Kenseth made his PASS South debut last year finishing with an impressive 7th place finish at THE RACE at North Wilkesboro Speedway besting a field of 70 other drivers.

“I think it will be a really good experience to race with PASS,” said Kenseth, son of two-time Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth. “I haven’t really raced with many of the drivers in the PASS South series, but hopefully we can get out of the box with a good run at Dillon and be a contender.”

Titusville, Florida’s Ken Lilley hopes to continue his climb up the racing later with a move up to PASS South. Lilley began his career racing in Quarter Midgets before moving on to the FASCAR Pro Truck division and eventually on to Late Model racing in his native Florida.

Eddie Sharp Racing has made a name for itself campaigning vehicles in the ARCA Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and now moves to the world of Super Late Model racing and PASS. The Sharp team has created a driver development program that will be guided by short track legend Butch Miller. Miller is coming off a season that saw him crew chief Chris Eggleston to a win in PASS South’s “THE RACE” at North Wilkesboro Speedway and take away a cool $75,000 winner’s purse. Brandon Jones of Atlanta, GA comes to the team after having won Pro Truck division titles at two tracks in his home state. Alongside Jones at Eddie Sharp racing will be William Gallagher, who will also be making his PASS South debut.

In addition, more fresh faces are coming to PASS, albeit with experienced teammates and established drivers. Coulter Motorpsorts will field a two car effort with 2011 PASS South Rookie-Of-The-Year Gray Gaulding and Craig Goess, Jr. Gaulding finished out 2011 strong with three top ten finishes, leading laps in the season ending Mason-Dixon Meltdown at Concord Speedway. Goess comes to PASS as a former Legends Car standout who became an ARCA winner at Pocono Raceway before competing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series last year.

Brad Keselowski Racing also returns to PASS South in 2012 fielding two cars for Landon Cling and Nate Caruth. Cling impressed running a partial schedule last season, finishing 3rd against a stout field in the Over The Mountain 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway. Caruth hopes the experience of veteran crew chief Gary Crooks will enable him to successfully make the giant leap to racing asphalt Super Late Models with PASS from the dirt tracks of Iowa where he cut his teeth racing Modifieds.

Perhaps the driver with the most invested in the 2012 racing season is Jay Fogleman. He brings teammates along with him this year in the form of Late Model Stock veteran David Latour, Jr. and perennial Legends Car winner Kyle Beattie. Fogleman scored a win in last year’s season opener at Anderson Motor Speedway and led the PASS South points much of the year, only to lose out in the final race at Concord to Ryan Blaney.

“Coming so close last year to winning the championship and losing with a flat tire was a great let down,” said Fogleman. “But it made us more determined to out work everyone this Winter. We are ready for 2012 and all the Bull City teams are looking good for this season.”

Kyle Grissom joins the PASS South series after several successful seasons racing in the Late Model Stock division throughout the Carolinas and Virginia. Grissom debuted with the series last October at Hickory, starting on the pole and leading laps in the early going. The second generation driver is following a similar path to that of his father Steve, the 1993 NASCAR Nationwide Series Champion. Steve parlayed success in the old All Pro Series to a successful driving career in the top ranks of stock car racing throughout the 1990’s.

Short track veteran Brandon Ward returns in the familiar #62 for New Day Motorsports with a brand new car ready to race in 2012. Ward has been a winner in every division he has ever competed in with the exception of PASS. He hopes to change that this season as he and his team go for the PASS South championship after racing on a limited schedule the last few seasons.

“New faces to the series are always good,” said Ward. “It adds to an already very competitive field and also brings new fans to PASS. The guys have worked really hard over the Winter and we feel good about our chances to get kpmoto.com, Foothill Ford and Precision Built Spindles into victory lane and a chance at the championship.”

And, this list of drivers set to compete in PASS South in 2012 continues to grow by the week. Former PASS South and PASS National Champion Preston Peltier is back with renewed vigor after going winless last year. Stephen Naase hopes to build on a very productive 2011 which saw him set a new track record at North Wilkesboro Speedway and hold off Peltier for a thrilling victory in the Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory. And, Steve Wallace returns to his short tracks roots debuting in PASS South driving the Leavitt Racing Components house car.

The season kick off is just around the corner with the 7th Annual South Carolina Clash at Dillon Motor Speedway on March 10th. There will be rotating practice on Friday, March 9th for all divisions from 3 PM until dark. On Saturday, March 10th, gates open at 9 AM with rotating practice for the PASS South Super Late Models, PASS Super Limiteds, CCS Legends, CCS Bandoleros, and Mini Cups from 11 AM until 3 PM. Qualifying begins at 4 PM and will be followed by the feature division races. And don’t forget to make plans for the first major event of the season as the best Super Late Model drivers in the country converge on Hickory Motor Speedway for the 7th Annual Easter Bunny 150 on Saturday, April 7th.

PASS National Schedule
To Feature Some Of Nation’s Most Famed Short Tracks
NAPLES, ME (February 1) – Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials announced today the seven venues that will make up the 2012 PASS National Championship schedule. The PASS National Championship is comprised of seven races that combines select events from the PASS South and PASS North schedules to crown the nation’s only true Super Late Model Champion. The PASS National Championship will be contested at some of the country’s most famous short tracks including: Hickory (NC) Motor Speedway, Stafford (CT) Motor Speedway, White Mountain (NH) Motorsports Park, Beech Ridge (ME) Motor Speedway, Fairgrounds Speedway in Nashville, TN, Caraway (NC) Speedway, and Concord (NC) Speedway.

“The 2012 PASS National Championship will be staged at seven of the most iconic racing venues in the United States,” said PASS President Tom Mayberry. “Not only will the PASS National schedule be comprised with some great race tracks, but it will be encompassed by some of the biggest events in short track racing, including the Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory, Nashville’s All-American 400, and the PASS 400 at Beech Ridge. It definitely will not be easy to win and whoever so does can truly say that they beat the best competition in Super Late Model racing.”

The PASS National Championship will kick off with the 7th Annual Easter Bunny 150 on Saturday, April 7th at Hickory Motor Speedway. The Easter Bunny 150 has become a short track racing classic attracting drivers from all over the country and has hosted the first race of the PASS National Championship since its beginning back in 2008. The PASS National Championship will then head North for the next three events, highlighted by PASS’s debut at Stafford Motor Speedway on Sunday, August 26th.

Caraway Speedway will host its first PASS National event on Saturday, November 10th as PASS takes over the Super Late Model sanction of one of short track racing’s most anticipated events every year, the North-South Shootout.

The 2012 PASS South season will kick off its 16 race schedule on Saturday, March 10th with the 7th Annual South Carolina Clash at Dillon (SC) Motor Speedway. PASS North will get their season under way on Saturday, May 5th at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway.

Super Limited Division
in 2012
Super Limiteds will serve as major support division
at approximately 10 PASS South events
CHARLOTTE, NC (January 22) – Officials from the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) announced today that it will sanction the Super Limited division beginning in 2012. The Super Limiteds will run as a support division to the PASS South Super Late Models at approximately ten events. The PASS Super Limiteds will employ a variety of chassis and engine combinations to allow racers an affordable way to compete in a touring division.

“We’re looking forward to having the PASS Super Limiteds as part of our great weekends of racing throughout the Southeast with the PASS South Super Late Models,” said PASS President Tom Mayberry. “We think the PASS Super Limiteds will be a great stepping stone division for youngsters looking to make the move from Bandelero and Legends cars up to PASS. This should be a really affordable way for everybody involved to go racing.”

The PASS Super Limiteds will be open to both perimeter and straight rail chassis, with rules aimed at making both types of chassis competitive. Racers will also be able to utilize a variety of different engine combinations including the 602/603 crate with a 390 CFM Holley HP Series, the 604 Fast Burn crate with a 500 CFM 2 barrel Holley HP Series, the Limited Built Motor with a 350 CFM 2 Barrel Holley HP and the Late Model Built with a 350 CFM 2 Barrel Holley HP. There will be a claim rule for shocks and brake calipers. Also in an effort to keep costs down, racers will race on scuffed Hoosier F-45 bias ply tires.

The purse is guaranteed paying $1,000 to win and $150 to start. The inaugural race for the PASS Super Limiteds will be on March 10th at Dillon (SC) Motor Speedway as part of the 7th Annual South Carolina Clash. The PASS Super Limiteds will join the PASS South Super Late Models at other venues including Hickory Motor Speedway, Orange County Speedway, Wake County Speedway, Anderson Motor Speedway, Motor Mile Speedway, and Caraway Speedway. Many drivers have already expressed interest in this exciting, new division.
