Drivers Ready To
Make
New Memories
At
Lanier This Weekend |
NAPLES, ME (November
13) - Ever since the return
of stock car racing to
Lanier Raceplex was
announced earlier this year,
fans and drivers alike have
brought up memories of great
races of the past at the
speedway that opened in
1982. On Saturday afternoon,
new memories will be made
when the Pro All Stars
Series (PASS) National Super
Late Model Championship will
be decided in the Lanier
National 200. While the
championship will conclude a
season that began at
Richmond Raceway in March,
the Lanier National 200 will
pay $6,000 to the race
winner, and an eye-popping
$1,000 just to start.
Joining the PASS Super Late
Models at Lanier, will be
three divisions of Legends
cars and the Bandoleros. The
Legends Pro/Masters will
race for $500 to win,
Semi-Pros will compete for
$400 to win, and the Young
Lions will race for $300 to
win.
Among the early
entrants, there are drivers
like hometown favorite Shane
Chastain and former All Pro
Series racer, Randy Gentry,
that raced Super Late Models
at Lanier in the 1990s and
2000s. For North Carolina
teenager, Kodie Conner, you
might think he never had the
chance to race there. But,
in his case, you would be
wrong.
"I raced a
Bandolero at Lanier and we
actually won," says Conner,
driver of the Ameriprise
Financial/Stephen
Kidd/Accent Imaging/FK Rod
Ends Toyota #45. "I saw that
the track was repaved a few
years ago and I feel like
that is a good omen since we
won the last time we were
there. It's good to go to a
track that has been dormant
for our type of racing.
Everyone is pretty much on a
level racing field not
knowing what gear or springs
to run. I'm just excited to
be racing with PASS again,
the series is awesome."
In addition to the great
racing Atlanta metro fans
will be able to see on the
famed 3/8-mile speedway,
camping and trackside
parking will be available
for purchase the weekend of
the race only. Camping spots
can be purchased at the
track on race weekend for
just $20.
One of
Lanier Raceplex's most
famous views is from the
tiered trackside parking
along the backstretch. Fans
can purchase unreserved
spots for just $10 to get a
truly unique viewpoint of
the Lanier National 200.
Since being announced
earlier this year, the
Lanier National 200 has
become oneof the most
anticipated events of the
season. Hosting oval track
racing for the first time in
nearly a decade, the Lanier
National 200 will crown the
2019 PASS National Champion.
Maine's Mike Hopkins has a
commanding lead in the
standings thanks to his wins
at Richmond and Seekonk.
And, now that all infield
buildings have been removed
and hauler parking will be
in the outside pit area,
fans will have an
unobstructed view of all the
action, no matter where they
sit.
Sunoco Race Fuel
is the required fuel of PASS
and is not available at the
track. Teams can email PASS

or leave a message at

Lanier Just Days
Away From
Rebirth For PASS
Finale |
NAPLES, ME (November
7) - In just over a week,
the sounds of race engines
will again permeate the
hills and countryside of
North Georgia when the Pro
All Stars Series (PASS)
Super Late Models hit the
pavement at Lanier Raceplex.
Throwing back to the
original name of the
speedway which has been
shuttered for the better
part of the last decade, the
Lanier National 200 will pay
$6,000 to win and $1,000
just to start the feature on
Saturday, November 16. Along
with the 200 lap contest,
points leader, Mike Hopkins
of Maine, will look to be
crowned the 12th PASS
National Super Late Model
Champion. Joining the PASS
Super Late Models in action
will be feature events for
Legends Pros/Masters,
Semi-Pros, and Young Lions,
along with racing for
Bandeleros.
Opened as
a dirt track by Bud Lunsford
in 1982, the .375-mile speed
plant hosted the World Of
Outlaws Sprint Cars six
times, with open wheel
legends Steve Kinser and
Sammy Swindell each taking
the checkered flag twice. In
1987, Lanier National
Speedway was paved and the
late Darrell Brown of
Alabama scored the win in
the first big event there on
pavement for the NASCAR
Winston All-American
Challenge Series.
From 1989-1992, Lanier
hosted the NASCAR Busch
Grand National Series with
Ronald Cooper, Chuck Bown,
David Green, and Bobby
Labonte all taking home the
checkered flags. The track
continued to host some of
the biggest Super Late Model
events in the country
through the 1990s as short
track pavement legends like
Mike Garvey, Freddie Query,
Billy Bigley, Jr., Wayne
Willard, among others taking
home wins at Lanier. A new
generation of drivers came
up through the ranks at
Lanier in the 2000s,
including Bubba Pollard,
Casey Roderick and Paul
Kelley.
When PASS
initially began sanctioning
Super Late Model races in
the south, Lanier was one of
the first tracks to come on
board to host an event.
Georgia native Jason Hogan
won the first PASS race
there in 2006, while Maine's
Corey Williams took the
checkered flag the most
recent time PASS held a race
at Lanier in 2007.
Now in its 12th season,
Super Late Model racing's
only true national
championship will bring
drivers together from all
over North America to
compete next weekend at
Lanier Raceplex. In addition
to the grandstands being
open, Lanier's famed
trackside parking will be
available to fans for this
event for just $10. The
track was repaved and all
infield buildings were torn
down when the facility was
transformed to host drifting
events and Go-Kart racing
for the public. All race
cars will be pitted outside
the track so fans will be
able to enjoy an
unobstructed view of the
action from any vantage
point at the speedway. For
just $20, fans and teams can
camp at the speedway as
well.
Joining earlier
entrants like hometown
favorite Shane Chastain and
former PASS champions, Derek
Griffith and Tate Fogleman,
Maine's Ben Ashline and Ryan
Moore are entered, along
with longtime fan favorite,
Randy Gentry.
Lanier
Raceplex officially roars
back to life on Friday,
November 15 with practice
for PASS Super Late Models
and Legends cars from 1 PM
to 5 PM. On Saturday,
November 16, pit gates will
open at 8 AM, followed by

Exciting Innovations
Announced
As PASS Looks To Lanier
Return |
NAPLES, ME (August
29) - In June, Pro All Stars
Series (PASS) officials
announced that the PASS
National Super Late Model
Championship would be
decided at Georgia's Lanier
Raceplex on November 15-16.
The Lanier National 200 for
the PASS Super Late Models
will be 200 laps, paying
$6000 to win and $1000 to
start. The starting grid
will be set by heat races in
which their lineups will be
determined by using last
practice speeds. And, for
the first time ever, the
pre-race tech will be set by
the order that entries are
received, giving teams
longer to prepare for
practice and the race. The
first entrants for the
Lanier National 200 are
North Carolina's, Tate
Fogleman, New Hampshire
drivers, Bryan Kruczek and
Gabe Brown, and Ontario,
Canada's, JP Josiasse.
From the time the Lanier
National 200 was announced
in June and that racing
would return to Lanier
Raceplex for the first time
in nearly a decade, the
reaction of fans and the
short track racing community
has been tremendous. Home
state favorite, Bubba
Pollard, has confirmed that
he has had several drivers
inquire with him about
racing at Lanier come
November.
PASS
actually raced at Lanier in
2006 and 2007. Home town
favorite Jason Hogan scored
his only win in the series
at the inaugural event at
Lanier, while Maine's Corey
Williams took the win the
following year. Hogan says
there is a need for asphalt
racing in Georgia and he is
glad to see racing return to
Lanier in the Atlanta-metro
area.
"I do think it
is a great deal and should
have a really good turnout,"
said Hogan, who currently
owns and operates a
successful printing business
in the area. "Not sure how
the fan base will be since
racing has been gone from
here for so long, but these
folks really do miss that
track. I think the car count
will be awesome."
So,
of course we had to ask if a
return to the driver's seat
at Lanier was in the cards
for the driver from nearby
Cleveland, GA?
"Well,
me and Richie Wauters have
talked about running at
Lanier," says Hogan. "But, I
also have a new baby on the
way and the wife is not a
100 percent sold on it as of
yet."
In addition to
the new tech lineup
procedures to be introduced
at Lanier, heat racing will
return to the south for the
first time since 2006. Heat
racing has long been used in
determining the starting
order at tracks in New
England, including last
weekend's Oxford 250 which
had nearly 60 competitors
show up to try and make the
field. When PASS came south
in 2006, innovations like
heat races, double-file
restarts, and not counting
caution laps during features
were brought down with the
series from New England. Now
at many tracks around the
country, all of those things
have been adopted, and the
new tech procedures could be
the next to be utilized by
more series.
In its
12th season, Super Late
Model racing's only true
national championship will
bring PASS drivers together
from all over North America
to compete this Fall at
Seekonk Speedway in
Massachusetts and in the
season finale at Lanier
Raceplex. In addition to the
grandstands being open,
Lanier's famed trackside
parking will be available to
the fans for this event. The
track was repaved and all
infield buildings were torn
down at Lanier Raceplex when
the facility was transformed
to host drifting events and
Go-Kart racing for the
public. All race cars will
be pitted outside the track
so fans will be able to
enjoy an unobstructed view
of the action from any
vantage point at the
speedway
Numerous
drivers cut their teeth
racing Legends cars and
Bandoleros at Lanier
Raceplex, including Joey
Logano, David Ragan, Daniel
Hemric and more. With the
concentration of Legends
cars around the Atlanta
area, the Carolinas, and
much of the Eastern
Seaboard, race officials
believe splitting the cars
in to Pro, Semi-Pro, and
Young Lions will allow for
even more action around the
3/8-mile speedway. There
will be a payout throughout
the field in each division
with $500 to win for the Pro
division, $400 to win for
the Semi-Pros, and $300 to
win for the Young Lions.
The Lanier Raceplex will
roar to life on Friday,
November 15, with practice
for PASS Super Late Models
and Legends cars from 1 PM
to 5 PM. On Saturday,
November 16, pit gates will
open at 8 AM, followed by
practice at 10 AM, heat
races for PASS Super Late
Models, Legends, and
Bandoleros at 12:30 PM,
followed by the Lanier
National 200 and remaining
features. Sunday, November
17 will be reserved as a
rain date if needed.
For the Lanier National 200,
PASS Super Late Models,
Legends, and Bandoleros
entry forms and the complete
weekend schedule are posted
at ProAllStarsSeries.com.
