NEW
HANDICAP
SYSTEM FOR
2014 PASS
SPORTSMAN
|
Pro All
Stars Series President, Tom Mayberry
has announced that there will be a
new handicapping system in place for
the 2014 racing season for the PASS
Sportsman division.
“In best
interest of competition, we are
going to implement the same
handicapping system that we use with
the PASS Super Late Models into the
PASS Sportsman division for 2014,
stated Mayberry. We feel that this
system will help even out the field
and make for better racing for both
the drivers and for the fans alike.
Fans enjoy seeing some of the top
cars coming from back in the pack,
and have to race their way to the
front of the field!”
The new
handicapping system will allow cars
to be lined up in the feature event
from the order that they finished in
the qualifying heat, with the big
exception that once you win a race,
you can’t start any better than
eleventh in the feature no matter
where you qualified in the
preliminary rounds. As the season
progresses, this system will force
the top cars to charge from deeper
in the field making racing much more
intense for the racers and fans as
well. This new handicapping system
will go into effect at the opening
PASS Sportsman event which is
scheduled for Saturday, April 12th
at 2pm at Oxford Plains Speedway.
The opening day event will include
the PASS Super Late Models, PASS
Sportsman and PASS Mods, as well as
the NELCAR Legends. |

CHARLIE
ROCKWELL NAMED
NEW CHIEF
TECHNICAL
INSPECTOR
FOR 2014
PASS NORTH SERIES RACES |
 |
PASS
President, Tom Mayberry has
announced that Charlie Rockwell will
be taking over Chief Technical
Inspector job for the PASS North
Series in 2014. Rockwell will be
taking over the position from long
time inspector, Scott Reed whom is
pursuing other interests. Rockwell
will be taking over the job
immediately, handling all technical
questions from racers throughout the
off-season.
Rockwell hails
from Orleans, Vermont where he is a
quality control inspector for the
Ethan Allen Company. He resides with
his wife Jamie, and young daughter,
Marina. Rockwell has been involved
in racing for numerous years, first
working on race cars, then stepping
behind the wheel for several years
driving everything from Enduro cars
to Late Models. In 2011, the heavy
underdog qualified for the Oxford
250, putting a check mark on one of
his bucket list items.
In
2010, Charlie and his wife Jamie
took over as the Tech team at Canaan
Fair Speedway where the team
developed into one of the most
respected in the business. His vast
knowledge of everything from four
cylinders, to Late Models, Super
Late Models, as well as Modifieds
made him a leading candidate for the
job. Jamie Rockwell will also be
joining the team as she will work
side by side with her husband in the
tech area.
“I am really
excited to have Charlie and Jamie on
board with us, stated Tom Mayberry,
they are first class all the way,
and will fit in nicely in our
organization. Charlie’s knowledge of
numerous types of racecars is
important for us, and he and his
wife Jamie, both have tremendous
people skills. Losing Scotty left us
with a big void, as his vast
knowledge and tremendous work ethic
will definitely be missed, but we
feel that the Rockwell’s will be
good replacements as we head into
the future.”
The 2014 PASS
North schedule will be released in
the very near future.
For
for technical questions for the PASS
North Series, contact Charlie &
Jamie Rockwell at 802-754-2822 after
5 PM.
If anyone needs
technical support for the PASS South
Series they may contact Kyler
Honeycutt at

ISMA
SUPERMODIFIEDS RETURNING
to OXFORD
PLAINS SPEEDWAY in 2014 |
 |
|
Honorary Grand Marshall Bentley
Warren |
 |
Oxford
Plains Speedway President, Tom
Mayberry is pleased to announce that
the ISMA Supermodifieds will return
to Oxford Plains Speedway in 2014
after several years’ absence. The
ISMA Supers will be in action on
Friday night, June 20, 2014. The
event will be sponsored by Locke
Crane Service.
“We are so
excited to have the ISMA
organization back with us here at
OPS stated Mayberry. These super
sleek machines are so lightening
quick, that they will keep the fans
on the edge of their seats for
entire 75 lap event. The “Winged
Warriors” are known for their two
and three wide racing, and Oxford
Plains Speedway’s racing surface
will be the perfect place for them
to perform at their finest!”
The Friday night event will honor
one of the all time greats of the
sport, as the legendary Bentley
Warren will be the honorary Grand
Marshall for the event, as the event
will be dubbed as the Bentley Warren
ISMA Classic. Warren is a four time
ISMA Series champion, and currently
sits in third place all time all
time feature wins list with 47
victories.
Today, ISMA
continues at the forefront of
Supermodifieds sanctioning bodies,
pioneering the franchise system, in
which teams purchase a franchise at
the beginning of the season.
Creating a win-win situation for
both the teams and promoters, each
of the franchise teams are allowed
to miss up to three shows during the
race season while being guaranteed a
minimum starting purse of $1,000 at
each event. This system helps to
ensure solid, stable car counts and
a successful event for the promoter.
Over the past decade, ISMA has
sanctioned between 13 and 17 shows a
year, including two of the
prestigious Supermodifieds races –
the July Hy-Miler Nationals at
Sandusky (Ohio) Speedway, which has
been a staple ISMA event since 1978,
and September’s Star Classic at the
quarter-mile Star bullring in
Epping, New Hampshire, an event that
has a history dating back over 40
years.
The Supermodifieds
join an exciting lineup of special
events for 2014 including the 41st
Annual Oxford 250, the 2nd Annual
Monster Truck Throwdown, The
Colossal Carnage 150, the $7,000 to
win Enduro, the NAPA Show, Shine and
Drags, as well as the 2nd Annual Tom
Mayberry Swap Meet & Flea Market.

Sunoco Signs
Multi-Year Agreement
with the
Pro All Stars Series |
Naples ME - Pro All Stars Series (PASS)
President Tom Mayberry and Sunoco Race Fuels have
announced a multi-year agreement making Sunoco Supreme
and Standard racing gasoline the official spec fuel for
all five PASS touring series through 2011 and beyond.
The Pro All Stars Series sanctions and promotes five
racing series in the eastern United States and Canada.
2011 marks the series’ eleventh anniversary.
“Sunoco has been with us from day one,” said Mayberry in
making the announcement. “Mike Joy, John Holland,
Charlie Holland and the entire crew at New England Race
Fuels have played a major role in the growth of our
organization from a single northern New England based
tour to five individual series with races from Florida
to Maritime Canada. As we expanded to the southeast we
have had tremendous support from Sunoco distributors
such as Hank Thomas Performance, and the fact that most
every race track where we compete pumps Sunoco Race Fuel
makes it a perfect partnership, one that we hope
will
continue for many years to come.” |

The 2014 PASS North season

at 2pm at Oxford Plains Speedway in
Oxford, Maine. The Oxford Plains
Speedway opener will kick off the
14th season of the Pro All Stars
Series which PASS President, Tom
Mayberry, started in 2001. The PASS
Series is recognized as North
America’s premier sanctioning body

CASSIUS CLARK READY TO
DEFEND
PASS NORTH SLM TITLE |
Farmington, Maine’s, Cassius
Clark is all set to start his 2014
PASS North Super Late Model title
defense this coming Saturday, April
26th at Oxford Plains Speedway in
Oxford Maine. The defending champion
will once again be aboard the potent
#77 Super Late Model owned by Corey
Hight, and sponsored by Hight
Chevrolet, Buick, GMC.
Clark
won his first PASS SLM championship
in 2013, and he did it with
consistent finishes all season long.
In twelve starts last season, he
carried the checkered flag twice,
had nine top five finishes, and
eleven top tens. His consistency
allowed him to edge out runner-up
Joey Doiron by a mere four points,
and third place finisher, DJ Shaw,
by just five points. Travis Benjamin
finished fourth, just eight-eight
points back, while Ben Rowe rounded
out the top five. The top four
racers in points collected nine of
the twelve feature event wins.
2014 looks to be an outstanding
season for PASS as several veteran
teams, and newcomers will be
challenging for the title. Two such
veteran campaigners are multi-time
champions Johnny Clark and Ben Rowe.
Both of these racers were held
winless in 2013, and have spent the
entire offseason upgrading their
racers for 2014. They both are very
excited about the upcoming race
season, and have high hopes of
climbing back to the top of the pack
and challenging for the coveted
championship title.
The PASS
Mods will see Scott Alexander try to
defend his title against many cagey
veterans, and a slew of newcomers.
Expect this title battle to go down
to the wire in 2014. The PASS
Sportsman will kick off their season
as well, and there just might be a
new champion crowned as 2013 champ
Cary Martin has hinted that
something else may be in his plans
for this season.
The PASS
North Series opens up Saturday,
April 26th at Oxford Plains Speedway
with a post time of 2pm. There will
be an open practice for all PASS
divisions and NELCAR Legends on
Friday, April 25th from 1-6pm, pits
open at 11am. Oxford Plains Speedway
is located on Route 26 in Oxford,
Maine. For more information visit
the track website at

Shaw Makes Last Lap Pass
To Win
9th Annual Easter Bunny
150 At Hickory |
HICKORY, NC (April 20) – New
Hampsire’s DJ Shaw parlayed an
aggressive move on the final lap
into the win in the Pro All Stars
Series (PASS) Super Late Model 9th
Annual Easter Bunny 150 Sunday
afternoon at Hickory Motor Speedway.
Shaw and PASS South points leader
Tyler Church made contact entering
turn three allowing Shaw to move by
and claim his first PASS South Super
Late Model win. The race was delayed
for nearly 24 hours after torrential
rains drenched the Southeast on
Saturday.
“I got a little
more aggressive there than usual,
but I lost this race last year with
Preston [Peltier] for letting him be
aggressive with me,” said Shaw after
his first career Easter Bunny 150
triumph. “It’s great to win at a
historic place like Hickory and I
just have to thank the fans and PASS
for getting it in today and
supporting us on Easter.”
In
qualifying, Preston Peltier claimed
his 13th career quick qualifying
time and fifth overall at Hickory
with a lap of 80.816 miles per hour.
Following the top 10 qualifiers
redraw, Peltier dropped to second
alongside Jared Irvan, who would
start from the pole.
Under
beautiful Carolina blue skies, Irvan
jumped into the lead as the 30 car
field of PASS Super Late Models
entered turn one. On lap five,
Trevor Sanborn slid sideways after
contact from Harrison Burton
entering turn one. Several cars
checked up to avoid the incident
with the machines of Brandon Ward,
Ryan Moore, Brandon Setzer, and
Patrick Staropoli all ending up with
too much damage to continue on in
the race.
When racing
resumed, Irvan and Peltier traded
the lead, before 10th place starter
Randy Gentry made his way to the
front on lap 15. The second caution
of the race waved a few laps later
on lap 33 when Lee Tissot and Nick
Tucker spun in turn four.
Back under green, fans were treated
to some of the best short track
racing around as drivers jockeyed
for position, racing two and three
wide several rows deep around the
historic .363 mile speedway. Gentry
set a quick pace early on stretching
his lead to nearly a straightaway
over his nearest competitors. But,
just past halfway, Gentry’s Toyota
began to fade allowing Roger Lee
Newton to move by and into the lead
on lap 80.
Likewise, Newton’s
car also seemed to be going away as
Burton moved by to take the lead on
lap 92 for the first time in his
PASS South career. Rookie Tyler
Dippel began applying pressure on
Burton in the latter stages of the
race, taking the lead with 37 laps
to go when Burton bobbled exiting
turn four. Racing continued to be
torrid as Dippel worked multiple
grooves around the speedway to hold
off his challengers. With 10 laps to
go, Burton moved by Dippel to retake
the lead. But his turn up front
would be short lived as DJ Shaw
powered past Burton to take the lead
just two laps later.
However,
the caution would wave with 5 laps
to go following a flat right front
tire for Daniel Hemric. On the final
restart of the race, Tyler Church
got the advantage over Shaw to take
the lead entering turn one. Shaw
closed back in making contact with
Church on the final lap as they
entered turn three and survived more
contact coming to the checkered flag
to secure the win.
Following
the race, Church was clearly
frustrated after just missing out on
his second straight win at his home
track.
“We had that race and
I tried to race everybody clean, but
sometimes it doesn’t pay off,” said
Church afterwards.
Following
Shaw and Church at the finish were
Peltier, Irvan, and Dippel. Rounding
out the top ten were Newton,
Sanborn, Cole Timm, Trevor Noles,
and Austin Theriault.
Walker
Yates took the lead from race long
leader Jeff Batten on a late race
restart with 13 laps to go and held
on for his second career PASS Pro
Late Model victory. The most serious
accident of the race occurred on lap
29 when Austin Reed made contact
with Jacob Schneider exiting turn
four. The contact sent Schneider
spinning and collected Reed and
Lucas Jones in the aftermath.

the win in the Legends division over

Church Looking To Defend
Home Turf
At Hickory In Easter
Bunny 150 |
CHARLOTTE, NC
(April 16) – The best short track
racers from across North America
will once again be descending on
Hickory Motor Speedway this weekend
as they prepare for the 9th Annual
Easter Bunny 150. Racers flock to
the legendary speedway nestled in
the North Carolina Piedmont as the
Easter Bunny 150 has become an
Easter weekend tradition for the Pro
All Stars Series (PASS) South Super
Late Model division. Likewise, fans
of short track racing recognize the
Easter Bunny 150 as one of the
sport’s premier races, thanks in
large part to the star studded field
of drivers the event attracts year
after year.
Names like Rowe,
Lawler, Williams, Naase, and Grissom
have all visited victory lane in the
Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory. And,
until last year’s win by Preston
Peltier, no driver had achieved
victory in racing’s ultimate Easter
egg hunt more than once. But, even
with the best the sport has to offer
coming to duke it out against one
another, it is a home grown product
of Hickory Motor Speedway that some
have circled on their entry lists as
the early favorite.
Current
PASS South Super Late Model points
leader Tyler Church is actually from
Hickory, NC. He started out as a fan
attending races at Hickory Motor
Speedway and, after becoming a race
car driver, became a top contender
in the track’s Limited Late Model
division. Eventually, Church joined
forces with Peltier competing on
limited basis with PASS South in
2013. But, despite only making
sporadic starts with the series,
Church became an immediate front
runner scoring an emotional win in
the Over The Mountain 150 at
Hickory. A win made even more
special in that it came in front of
longtime fans, family, and friends
that had supported his journey up
the racing ladder. And, by the fact,
that his late mother is buried in
the cemetery which overlooks the
historic speedway.
“It was
huge to get that win at Hickory last
September,” said Church, who went on
to capture his second career win
just weeks later in the Mason Dixon
Meltdown at Southern National. “I’ve
had a lot of help since I began
racing with PASS and being at home,
it was just huge. I’m just very
thankful and then to win the
Meltdown was just a bonus.”
Despite not winning so far in 2014,
Church and his Church’s Carpet team
have been the model of consistency.
The young season has seen steady
improvement for Church, including
two top five finishes, a third at
Dillon Motor Speedway in March and a
runner-up finish in the most recent
PASS South event at Orange County
Speedway. Now as one of the biggest
races of the season approaches at,
of all places, his home track,
Church is brimming with confidence.
All that despite the stellar field
that will try to keep him from
reaching victory lane at Hickory
Motor Speedway for a second straight
time.
“Going to Hickory, it’s
gonna be tough for sure, but I think
we will be okay,” said Church. “I
was hoping to have a win by now, but
this year was my first time at
Greenville. And, at Dillon and
Orange County, I was tickled to get
a couple of top fives with the
competition we had at those two
tracks. But all I want is that
Easter Bunny, that’s it.”
Church will certainly have his work
cut out for him though this weekend
as the strongest group of Super Late
Models of the year will assemble at
Hickory Motor Speedway. Fellow PASS
South points contenders Cole Timm,
Jared Irvan, Trevor Noles and Tyler
Dippel have filed entries. As is
usual for the Easter Bunny 150, a
strong contingent of Northern
drivers will be making the trip down
to Hickory including Ben Rowe, DJ
Shaw, Joey Doiron, Austin Theriault,
Trevor Sanborn, Ryan Moore and
Canadian Steve Laking. Jay Fogleman
returns to the driver’s seat at
Hickory along with his son, Tate, as
they carry the banner for Bull City
Race Cars and Speedco Truck Lube &
Tire. Daniel Hemric returns to PASS
after winning the first two events
of the season as well as two-time
Easter Bunny 150 winner Preston
Peltier. Harrison Burton and Gus
Dean will also be back as they make
their second attempts in PASS for
2014. Former PASS South winner Clay
Rogers returns as well for the first
time since South Boston in 2013.
Veteran Randy Gentry will be looking
to bounce back after a tough run at
Orange County along with fellow
South Carolina drivers Ted Mickelson
and Clete Caywood. Veterans Jody
Measamer, Brandon Ward, Joe Heigl,
and John Batten hope to get their
seasons turned around. Florida’s
Patrick Staropoli will be stepping
in to the Jimmy Doyle owned #71 and
will be joined by fellow Sunshine
State driver Joey Padgett in making
their first Easter Bunny 150
attempts this weekend. Local
favorite Brandon Setzer will also be
making his first attempt at
qualifying along with fellow rookie
Tanner Rumburg.

PASS SOUTH TECH
BULLETIN
- CRATE MOTORS
-
|
.
> 2700
lbs: GM 604 400 fast burn
sealed crate engine with 650
cfm. Carburetor.
For
some race teams and motor
builders that feel that they
may make some modification
to the 604 crate motor,
whether a performance gain
or not, everyone needs to
realize that there is a zero
tolerance in the PASS rule
book. The PASS rule book
clearly states at 2700 lbs
the motor must be run with
no modifications or changes.
To run at 2750 lbs you may
do the following only.
> GM crate (spec) engine
in sealed factory form
permitted. Permitted with
1.6 Rocker change –
“Bee-Hive” valve springs -
Balancer change – 6 ½ deep
wet sump oil pan change. At
competition weight of 2750
lbs.
No modifications
permitted other than
specified.
If any
other modifications to your
crate motor are made, it
must be declared ahead of
time and weight must be 2800
lbs. Any violation for crate
motors for these rules is
disqualification and loss of
engine.
The idea
behind the crate motors was
to give a weight break and
give a more economical way
to race, not to have motor
builders charge you an
excessive amount of money to
make further changes to the
crate motors.
As far
as PASS South Pro Late
Models, your crate motors
are 100% stock from GM, no
modifications.
We had
a PASS race team that got so
close to the line that they
stepped over it, whether
performance enhanced or not.
PASS has a zero tolerance in
this matter. |

Newton Takes
PASS South Thriller
at
Orange County Speedway |
ROUGEMONT, NC (April
5) – Roger Lee Newton held
off a furious last lap
charge by Trevor Noles that
saw Noles spin across the
finish line to win the 9th
Annual Orange Blossom
Special Saturday night for
the Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) South Super Late
Models at Orange County
Speedway. Newton’s second
Orange Blossom Special
victory puts him in elite
company joining Preston
Peltier as the only drivers
to ever win the event more
than once.
“I don’t
know what it is about this
place, but I love it,” said
Newton after ending a
winless streak dating back
to 2011. “He (Noles) hit me,
but that’s racing. It’s the
last lap and you do anything
to win. When he hit me, I
just nailed the gas and it
stuck. I don’t know what to
say, I just can’t believe
it.”
In qualifying,
PASS South Super Late Model
points leader Tyler Church
edged out his car owner
Peltier for the quick time
with a lap of 97.826 miles
per hour. Following the top
ten qualifiers redraw,
Church settled back into the
seventh starting position
while Newton and Brandon
Ward moved to the front row.
At the drop of the green
flag, Newton jumped out into
the lead, but his time up
front was short lived as
Trevor Noles sped by to take
the top spot on lap four. A
race long battle would ensue
throughout the event between
Noles and Newton for the
lead.
The driver on the
move early on was Harrison
Burton, making his first
PASS South start at a track
his father, Jeff, competed
on many times early on in
his racing career. After
starting 11th, Burton had
made his way around Derek
Ramstrom for fourth just 14
laps into the race.
Following a spin by Tanner
Rumburg in turn one on lap
30, the first major accident
of the night occurred on the
ensuing restart when Randy
Gentry spun in turn three
and collected Bill Catania
and Kevin Powell. All three
drivers would be through for
the night.
On each
restart of the night, Newton
was able to get the best of
Noles and lead for a couple
of laps before Noles would
overtake him on the longer
runs of the race.
Just past halfway, veterans
Brandon Ward and Preston
Peltier saw their
potentially strong runs come
to an end. With 59 laps to
go, Ward and Peltier made
contact entering turn three
while battling for third and
their machines became
momentarily stuck together.
As their cars slowed,
several cars crashed while
trying to avoid them
including Joe Heigl, rookie
Trey Jarrell and local
favorite Chad Kendrick. Both
Ward and Peltier continued
until Peltier broke a part
entering turn 1 on lap 97
and backed his car into the
wall. Ward eventually fell
out due to steering
problems.
Derek
Ramstrom and Jody Measamer
also had problems late in
the race that ended their
nights early. Ramstrom
struggled with ignition
problems before backing into
the turn three wall on lap
121. Just three laps later,
Measamer pounded the turn
one wall after it appeared
that his throttle stuck.
On the final restart of
the race with 26 laps to go,
Newton again got the
advantage over Noles. With
Newton content to run the
high line around the 3/8
mile, high-banked speedway,
Noles would draw alongside
in the low groove lap after
lap. As Newton and Noles
raced for the lead, Church
methodically made his way to
third and was gaining on the
leaders.
As the three
leaders took the white flag,
Newton and Noles raced
side-by-side for the win
with Church close behind.
Entering turn three, Noles
drove down deep into the
corner pushing up into
Newton as they exited turn
four. Newton held on to take
the victory as Noles spun
across the finish line
falling to third in the
finishing order behind
Church. Tyler Dippel
finished fourth for his best
career PASS South Super Late
Model finish in front of
Cole Timm who finished
fifth. Rounding out the top
ten were Burton, Brandon
Setzer, Steve Halpin, Tate
Fogleman, and Tanner
Rumburg.
Lucas Jones
took the lead from Greg
Bohannon, Jr. with two laps
to go and went on to win his
first career PASS Pro Late
Model race. Early race
leaders Kodie Conner and
Walker Yates were eliminated
on lap 16 in a grinding
crash in turn four.
Following Jones and Bohannon
at the checkered flag were
Jacob Schneider, Matt
Murphy, and Zachary Dabbs.
Alex Pacheco led every
lap en route to the win in
the Legends division over
Dillon Spain, Grayson
Massey, Jake Spillers, and
Brandon McKenzie.
The
PASS South Super Late Models
and PASS Pro Late Models
will be in action along with
the Super Cup Stock Car
Series and Legends cars on
Saturday night April 19 at
Hickory Motor Speedway for
the 9th Annual Easter Bunny
150. |

Benjamin made a wild, three
wide pass, splitting between
lapped cars with one of the
boldest moves ever seen.
Benjamin held off hard
charges by Joey Doiron,
Scott Mulkern and Cassius
Clark to add his name to the
Oxford 250 victory lane
history books. Joining the
Super Late Models will be
the PASS Modifieds running
for the second time this
weekend, but this time they
will be racing for $1,000 to
win. Also on the card will
be the brand new Maine
Outlaw Series racing for 50
laps, plus a 50 lap NELCAR
Legends National
Championship event, and our
own Street Stocks.
Qualifying begins at 2pm.

2014 PASS NORTH
SLM TITLE WIDE OPEN |
By all indications,
the 2014 PASS North Super
Late Model title will be up
for grabs in 2014, as many
of the biggest names in the
sport will be trying to
knock 2013 champion, Cassius
Clark from the top spot on
the podium in what could be
the most competitive year
for the PASS Tour in the
history of the Series.
Coming off from the most
incredible PASS North season
yet in 2013, Cassius Clark
is ready, willing and able
to take on all challengers
and defend his title in
2014. Last year Clark edged
out youngster Joey Doiron by
a mere three points for the
championship. If that wasn’t
close enough, DJ Shaw
settled for third place in
the championship battle,
just five points behind
Clark. This trio of drivers
is all gearing up for the
year with high hopes of
capturing the coveted PASS
North title. Cassius Clark
and Doiron towed south for
the PASS South opener at
Greenville Pickens Speedway
located in Easley, South
Carolina trying to get an
edge on other PASS North
competitors. That was also a
PASS National Championship
event. Clark and Doiron each
had a pair of wins in 2013,
while Shaw had the most wins
on the Tour with three.
Along with the top three
teams, coming back for 2014
are other notables such as
Johnny Clark and Ben Rowe.
Both of these teams
struggled in 2013, but have
high hopes for the upcoming
season. Clark has been
working feverishly on his
ride and thinks that they
found several problems
during the off-season, and
have corrected them. Rowe
feels the same way as he is
excited about getting back
on the track and putting
2013 behind him. Rowe also
headed south to
Greenville Pickens for the
season opening event and
recorded a fourth place
finish. Both
of these former championship
teams feel that they will be
contenders again for the
2014 title.
2013
Oxford 250 winner Travis
Benjamin is always a
contender to win the title
as the 2012 PASS North
champion will start his
season at Oxford and Beech
Ridge and then make a
decision to run for the
title after those two
events. Benjamin is always a
threat to win, and placed
fourth in last year’s final
standings. He too collected
a pair of victories in 2013.
A solid contingent of
drivers will be returning to
PASS North competition in
2014 including such names as
Richie Dearborn, and Glen
Luce as well as many other
familiar drivers. Newcomers
include Wayne Helliwell Jr.,
Brent Dragon, Travis
Stearns, Bobby Therrien plus
several others.
The
2014 PASS North season is
scheduled to kick into high
gear on Saturday, April 12th
for the Ripley & Fletcher
Ford 150. Joining the PASS
Super Late Models, PASS
Mods, and PASS Sportsman
will be the NELCAR Legends.
Rain date for the event will
be Sunday, April 13th. With
the scheduled early start
for the PASS North Series,
the date of April 26th has
been reserved just in case
the grounds are not ready
for the opener. |

EMMA
LIBBY READY TO
EMBARK ON
PASS
SPORTSMAN CAREER |
 |
|
|
When you
first look at this
petite, sweet,
innocent, sixteen
year old blonde
named Emma Libby,
you say to yourself,
there is a very
athletic young lady
that is quite shy,
and reserved.
WHOAAAA! This young
lady is a racer true
and true, and one to
be reckoned with,
backing off from
nobody.
Libby
who is a sophomore
at Orono High School
is working
feverishly with her
family as they
prepare to take on
the challenging PASS
Sportsman class in
2014. Emma has
already had a
successful career at
Speedway 95 as she
was the 2012
champion in their
highly competitive
Mini-Stock division,
and graduated to
their Street Stock
class in 2013 and
placed a respectable
5th in the final
point standings. For
2014 her plan is to
run the full PASS
Sportsman schedule,
as well as compete
in the Speedway 95
Sportsman class when
time allows.
Libby works daily in
the family business
after school, and
also is learning the
racing parts
business that the
family has recently
added. This works
out well as she gets
a better
understanding about
the parts in a
racecar, and also
how they work. She
spends every
possible minute
working race related
deals, and when the
store closes down,
it’s garage time
with her dad, Ed
Libby. Their
immaculate PASS
Sportsman car was
built by her and her
dad, and she has
loved and
appreciated every
minute in the garage
with her father. She
is definitely dad’s
little princess.
Emma has set
some solid goals for
herself and the team
in 2014. She wants
to be competitive
every time she hits
the track, and she
is hoping for some
top five, and top
three finishes, and
who knows, maybe
even a win. Her long
term goals include
graduating up to a
PASS Super Late
Model, and then
maybe some PASS
South racing, and
maybe advance to a
bigger world. All in
all Emma Libby is
looking forward to
making a big splash
in her PASS
Sportsman, and she
very well may
achieve some, if not
most of her goals in
2014. Emma is her
name, and racing is
her game!
The
PASS NORTH Tour
kicks open their
doors at
Oxford Plains
Speedway on
Saturday, April 12th
at 2 PM. |

PASS Pro Late
Models: Perimeter Or
Straight Rail – Which Will
Take The Title In 2014? |
.jpg) |
CHARLOTTE, NC
(January 23) – Since its
inception in 2012, the Pro
All Stars Series (PASS) Pro
Late Model division has been
all about creating another
avenue for up-and-coming
racers to take their next
steps up the racing ladder.
But, it has also been about
inclusion. A division where
a straight rail chassis,
like the PASS South Super
Late Models, or a perimeter
chassis, those mainly
utilized by Late Model Stock
racers, can compete together
on a level playing field.
And the results speak for
themselves.
In the
inaugural season for the
PASS Pro Late Model division
in 2012, perimeters and
straight rails went
head-to-head. Veteran Clay
Thomas won the series first
ever race at Dillon Motor
Speedway and Lexington, SC’s
Austin Leitner had multiple
wins en route to the
championship. Both while
driving perimeter machines.
Along the way, youngsters
like Tate Fogelman and Cole
Timm showed their prowess
with wins driving straight
rails. Last year, Trevor
Noles and Harrison Burton
dominated the division also
driving straight rails. So,
which combination will come
out on top in 2014?
The PASS Pro Late Model
division utilizes a limited
tire usage rule and places
restrictions on engines and
shocks. The division
provides an avenue for
racers to compete at many of
the same tracks that the
PASS South Super Late Models
compete on. The PASS Pro
Late Models will race 13
times in conjunction with
the PASS South Super Late
Model division this year.
Also in 2014, the Ford
McGunegill crate engine has
been made legal for
competition. Additionally,
former UARA-STARS Late Model
competitors are invited to
compete with the PASS Pro
Late Models with minor
modifications to their
machines.
The Pro All
Stars Series is recognized
as North America’s premier
sanctioning body for asphalt
Super Late Models and boasts
such marquee events as the
Florida Winter Meltdown at
New Smyrna Speedway, the
Easter Bunny 150 at the
historic Hickory Motor
Speedway, the Autobus La
Qubecoise Triple Crown at
Autodrome Chaudiere, and the
legendary Oxford 250 at
Oxford Plains Speedway.

Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory
Continues Tradition as
Spring’s Premier Super Late
Model Event |
NAPLES, ME (January
22) – Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) officials announced
that a slate of select races
have been set to comprise
the 2014 PASS National
Championship Series. Six
PASS races spanning the
Southeast, New England, and
Canada will be featured once
again to crown Super Late
Model racing’s only true
national champion. The
tracks selected to host PASS
National Championship races
in 2014 will be
Greenville-Pickens
Speedway, Hickory Motor
Speedway, Oxford Plains
Speedway, Autodrome
Chaudiere, Beech Ridge Motor
Speedway, and Southern
National Raceway Park. While
awards are still being
finalized with sponsors, the
2014 PASS National Champion
will once again be presented
with a diamond encrusted
championship ring from long
time series supporter
Northern Race Tire. Former
PASS National Champions
include Cassius Clark, Ben
Rowe, Preston Peltier, and
Jay Fogleman.
“We’re
very happy to once again
bring the PASS National
Championship Series to some
of North America’s most
legendary short tracks in
2014,” said PASS President
Tom Mayberry. “Since 2008,
we’ve been able to bring
some of America’s greatest
short track racers together
to compete for the PASS
National Championship. We
feel the tracks that have
been selected this year will
provide a true test of man
and machine throughout the
season and will provide some
truly exciting events for
our race fans.”
After the season opener
at Greenville-Pickens on
March 1, it is back to the
most traditional stop on the
PASS National Series at
Hickory Motor Speedway in
North Carolina on April 19.
Hickory’s Easter Bunny 150
has grown to be one of short
track racing’s biggest
events of the Spring. Since
veteran Mike Rowe won the
first Easter Bunny back in
2006, Hickory Motor
Speedway’s hallowed victory
lane has been one cherished
by every Super Late Model
driver that has followed in
his tire tracks.
Race
three of the 2013 PASS
National Series will be, at
perhaps, the most legendary
of all short track races.
The 41st Annual Oxford 250
at Maine’s Oxford Plains
Speedway on July 20 will
once again bring the best
short track drivers from
across North America
together to compete for
$25,000 to win. With nearly
70 Super Late Models in
attendance last year, points
provisionals following New
Smyrna and Hickory will be
at a premium. The list of
past winners reads like a
“who’s who” in stock car
racing and includes such
names as Lindley, Bodine,
Hanley, Craven, Rowe,
Harvick, Busch and last
year’s winner, Travis
Benjamin. With $25,000 in
lap leader money in addition
to the race purse, this
year’s Oxford 250 winner
could take home upwards of
$50,000.
Next up,
will be back-to-back PASS
National Series races in the
month of September. The PASS
National Series returns to
Canada’s Autodrome Chaudiere
on September 6. The 200 lap
race will serve as the final
event of the Autobus La
Quebecoise Triple Crown, a
“mini-series” of the three
PASS North races at
Autodrome Chaudiere with a
separate bonus points fund
for drivers who compete in
all three events there. Last
year, Ross Kenseth took the
checkered flag in the
finale, while 6-time PASS
North champion Johnny Clark
came out on top in the
Triple Crown.
The
following week the PASS
National Series returns to
another traditional stop in
New England, the Beech Ridge
Motor Speedway in
Scarborough, ME. The PASS
400 Weekend at Beech Ridge
on September 12-13 is always
a favorite for both fans and
competitors and this year’s
contest will be no
different.
Finally,
the PASS National Series
will conclude on November 15
at Southern National
Motorsports Park with the
9th Annual Mason Dixon
Meltdown. The 200 lap test
on Southern National’s fast,
high banks will once again
crown both the PASS National
Series and PASS South Super
Late Model champions.
The Pro All Stars Series
is recognized as North
America’s premier
sanctioning body for asphalt
Super Late Models and boasts
such marquee events as the
Florida Winter Meltdown at
New Smyrna Speedway, the
Easter Bunny 150 at the
historic Hickory Motor
Speedway, the Autobus La
Qubecoise Triple Crown at
Autodrome Chaudiere, and the
legendary Oxford 250 at
Oxford Plains Speedway.

a guaranteed provisional for
the Oxford 250 on Sunday.
The final event of the
Series will take place on
the PASS Championship
Weekend at OPS, which is
slated for September 26th
and 27th. This race will
also feature a $2,000 to
win, 100 lap main event. We
are all excited about
launching the PASS Northeast
Late Model Series, and have
a very good feeling that
this Series will be very
successful. The Late Model
Series will carry the PASS
banner in 2014. If the
initial endeavor is

PASS
to Allow
Ford
McGunegill
Crate Engines
in
Pro
Late Models
in
2014 |
CHARLOTTE, NC
(January 9) – Pro All Stars
Series (PASS) officials
announced today that the
Ford McGunegill crate engine
will be legal for
competition in the PASS Pro
Late Model division in 2014.
Cars using a 4412 carburetor
must weigh 2950 pounds and
those using the 350 cfm. 2
barrel holley HP carburetor
must weigh 2925 pounds.
“We tested this
configuration for the Ford
McGunegill crate engine at
Southern National in
November and we were pleased
with the results,” said PASS
President Tom Mayberry.
“We’ve had a lot of interest
from teams that have the
Ford McGunegill crate and we
feel that this will only add
to the great competition we
saw last year out of the
PASS Pro Late Models.”
The PASS Pro Late Model
division utilizes cars
similar to the PASS South
Super Late Models with a
limited tire usage rule and
restrictions on engines and
shocks. The division
provides an avenue for
racers to compete at many of
the same tracks that the
PASS South Super Late Models
compete on and serves as a
stepping stone for drivers
looking to make the next
step in their racing
careers. In 2014, the PASS
Pro Late Models will race 13
times in conjunction with
the PASS South Super Late
Model division.

Unique Awards Going To
2013 PASS
Super Late Model Champions |
NAPLES, ME (December 16) –
The Pro All Stars Series (PASS), in
association with series supporter
Northern Race Tire, will be
presenting a unique set of awards to
the each of the division’s Super
Late Model Champions. The 2013 PASS
National, PASS North, and PASS South
Super Late Model Champions will each
be presented with diamond encrusted
championship rings in recognition of
their hard work during the racing
season. In addition, the PASS Pro
Late Model, PASS Modified, and PASS
Sportsman champions will also
receive championship rings, similar
in design, but unique to honor their
championship seasons.
The
PASS Champions’ rings are
manufactured and designed by
Stylecraft. From Super Bowl rings to
civic awards, Stylecraft has been
making fine jewelry handcrafted in
the United States for over six
decades. The 2013 PASS Champions’
rings will be massive in size and
will be emblazoned with the PASS
logo and other jewels. Additionally,
each member of the championship
winning teams will also be presented
with one-of-a-kind PASS Championship
belt buckles to commemorate their
accomplishments.
Durham, NC’s
Jay Fogleman and Farmington, ME’s
Cassius Clark will be the first
recipients of racing’s newest annual
award. In what he has said was his
final season racing for a
championship, Fogleman competed for
multiple teams on the way to his
second straight PASS National
Championship and was also able to
claim his first PASS South Super
Late Model Championship. Like
Fogleman, Clark was finally able to
take his first PASS North Super Late
Model title after years of trying.
“We are very excited to be
giving this opportunity to North
America’s best Super Late Model
racers,” said PASS President Tom
Mayberry. “Jay Fogleman and Cassius
Clark exemplify everything PASS
stands for and no matter where they
go, these rings will stand as a
symbol of the hard work and
dedication it took to achieve one of
short track racing’s ultimate
goals.”
In 2014, PASS and
Northern Race Tire will once again
present each of the series Super
Late Model champions with custom
rings and belt buckles in
recognition of their hard work and
sacrifices. |
