PASS Win At Hickory
HICKORY, NC (November 18) - Hometown favorite Brandon Setzer took the lead after contact with Garrett Hall coming to the white flag to go on and win the Mason-Dixon MegMeltdown 300 for the Pro All Star Series (PASS) Super Late Models Saturday afternoon at Hickory Motor Speedway. Setzer's third PASS Super Late Model win was the biggest of his career as he took home the $15,000 winner's prize.

"He [Hall] had the best car, I hate it ended like that, but the lapped car just screwed him up," said Setzer, driver of the Romeo Guest Construction/The Jewelry Exchange Ford #6. "As soon as he [Hall] went to the outside I saw the lapped car waving to the inside and I said, 'Oh, I've got a hole,' I filled the hole, he tried to come back down, but at that point I couldn't back out. Man, this means the world to me. I could've won the Daytona 500 and not be this happy."

Craig Claims PASS South Checkers at
Concord's North-South Shootout
MIDLAND, NC (November 4) - Matt Craig all but locked up his second straight Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model championship by claiming his sixth win of the season Saturday afternoon in the North-South Shootout at Concord Speedway. Craig's seventh career PASS South win was his first at Concord Speedway, but not the first for his family-owned team at the track, where they have also gone to victory lane in the past with drivers like Rodney Childers, Jeff Fultz, and Clay Rogers.

"This track means so much to my family, we've always had success here, it was a little bit bumpy for me the first few times out here, but we've finally got it conquered and figured it out this time," said Craig, driver of the C&C Boilers Sales & Service Chevrolet #54. "We've had a phenomenal year and we've been doing so good. We've tested and really done our homework and I'm just the lucky one that gets to drive them."

The third-generation driver from nearby Durham, NC dominated The Howler 150 for a popular win in front of the hometown crowd.

"We've raced and practiced a lot here and I was starting to think we would never get a Super win here, but I can't thank these boys enough because we were really struggling in practice ," said Fogleman, driver of the Solid Rock Carriers/Fogleman Soils Ford #8. "Something we've wanted to do all year is prove that we're one of the best teams out here and we got it done tonight."

Craig Outlasts Rain & Competition
for 4th PASS Win at Southern National
LUCAMA, NC (July 29) - Matt Craig survived a 52 minute rain delay and a late restart to score his fourth Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model win of the season Saturday night at Southern National Motorsports Park. In doing so, Craig, along with fellow podium finishers Dave Farrington, Jr. and Trevor Sanborn, locked up guaranteed starting positions for November's Mason-Dixon MegaMeltdown 300 at Hickory Motor Speedway, which will pay at least $15,000 to the winner.

"We took off on that one restart after the rain to get a good lead and get to halfway, but we weren't really too worried about it, we knew the radar looked good," said Craig, driving the family-owned C&C Boilers Chevrolet #54. "What makes it easier for me are the guys that work on the car every week. I can't thank them and my dad enough for setting it up. We really want to get to the big races at the end of the year, the Oxford 250 and the MegaMeltdown. These wins mean a lot, but now we want the big ones."

South Win of Season at Caraway
SOPHIA, NC (May 5) - Matt Craig edged out rookie Tanner Thorson Friday night to score his third Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model win of the season in the Caraway 125. Craig's second straight PASS South win at Caraway Speedway lengthens his point lead as he seeks to become the first driver to ever win back-to-back titles in the series' 12 year history.

"We had to run hard the whole race, Tate [Fogleman] was really good, the 55 [Thorson] was really good, but none of these races are ever easy to win," said Craig, driving the family-owned C&C Boilers Chevrolet #54. "I can't thank the guys enough for all the time they take to work on these cars, taking time off from work and family to be here at the track every weekend. I don't know how far that horseshoe is up in my butt right now, but I like it."

Easter Bunny 150 Triumph
At Hickory Motor Speedway
HICKORY, NC (April 15) - Preston Peltier survived a three lap scramble to the checkered flag to edge out Ben Rowe for his fourth Easter Bunny 150 win Saturday night at Hickory Motor Speedway. Peltier's seventh win at Hickory and 15th overall Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Model win ended a two-year winless drought dating back to the 2015 Easter Bunny 150.

"Three to go when that last caution came out, I thought, oh man, here we go again," said Peltier, driver of the Roger Newton Concrete Finishing Chevrolet #33. "My tires really weren't the best there at the end, but I've got to thank Ben [Rowe] because he really could have used me up. It's funny how life works out and right now, life's pretty good."

ROUGEMONT, NC (March 25) - Matt Craig came out on top of a controversial last lap battle that saw both he and third finisher Preston Peltier slap the wall to win the 10th Running of the Orange Blossom Special on Saturday night at Orange County Speedway. Craig's second straight Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model win also guarantees him a starting spot in the 44th Annual Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine.

"Our car was really good, but we got really loose when it was time to go," said Craig, driver of the C&C Boilers Sales & Service Chevrolet #54. "I've raced with Preston [Peltier] for a long time and I knew if I would have stayed on the outside on the last lap, it wouldn't have been any different than what I did. I don't feel bad about it. He's raced me dirty and I've raced him dirty, that's how we get along."

Craig Dominates Southern National
For 2nd Career PASS South Victory
LUCAMA, NC (March 4) - Defending Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model champion, Matt Craig captured the lead from Spencer Davis on lap 16 and never looked back en route to his second career series win in the Dogwood 150 Saturday afternoon at Southern National Motorsports Park. Following his win, Craig laid down a challenge amidst a furious chassis builder battle going on in the South's oldest Super Late Model tour.

"This was just an awesome car and I can't thank my crew enough for all the hard work they put in to it," said Craig, driver of the C&C Boilers Sales & Service Chevrolet. "Everybody thinks the Furys are the best, but they just got waxed by a brand new Hamke. We struggled a bit at Dillon, but we've got it figured out. He [Noles] got us on a restart, but I laid the hammer down off two and cruised from there."

MCCASKILL - IRVAN - ECKES
Irvan Makes Late Charge to Claim
PASS Winter Meltdown at Dillon
DILLON, SC (February 4) - Third-generation racer Jared Irvan was able to move past leader Christian Eckes following a late-race restart and led the rest of the way to win the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Super Late Model national season opener Saturday afternoon at Dillon Motor Speedway. Irvan's win in the Winter Meltdown 200 was his first since capturing the checkered flag at Anderson Motor Speedway back in 2015.

"We both spun the tires a little bit on that last restart and ended up going into turn one too fast and I actually thought I went in too high, but he [Eckes] did too and I was able to come off with the lead," said Irvan. "This is really big for our momentum for the rest of the year and hopefully we can get a little more sponsorship to help us through the rest of the year."
