Ramstrom Takes MegaMeltdown Win
Griffith, Craig Claim Titles At Hickory
HICKORY, NC (November 10) - Derek Ramstrom took the lead for the final time with just over 30 laps to go and led the rest of the way to claim his first career Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model win Saturday afternoon at Hickory Motor Speedway in the Mason-Dixon MegaMeltdown 200. While Ramstrom took the win, Derek Griffith finished second to capture the PASS National Championship Super Late Model title and third place finisher Matt Craig took his third straight PASS South championship.

"This is just awesome for us, we've been coming down here ever since 2006 and we've finally gotten us a win down south," said Ramstrom. "Hickory is a great place to come to and reminds us of a lot of the tracks back home in New England. We came with a totally different package this time and I just can't say enough for all the guys and the work they put in to give us such a great car."

Bubba Pollard Prevails In PASS South
Slugfest At South Boston
SOUTH BOSTON, VA (August 11) - Georgia's Bubba Pollard came back from a late spin to take the win in Saturday night's Davenport Energy 150 at South Boston Speedway for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Models. Pollard's 2nd career PASS South win locks him in to the 45th Annual Clark's Scrap Metal Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway coming up in two weeks.

"That's how you do it right there, that's how we do it in the south," said Pollard, after a hard fought battle with runner-up Lucas Jones. "We didn't have a very good car when we started the race, we didn't have a shot to win and we had to take a gamble and pit to make it right. Getting locked in to Oxford is huge, it's big. Oxford is gonna be a tough field, those guys are good. We've been working hard all year to try and make that our race to focus on, so I hope we can do it."

For the third straight race this year, the track qualifying record was broken in qualifying. Rookie Logan Seavey set the fast time with a lap of 14.298 seconds (100.713 MPH). After the top 10 qualifiers redraw, Seavey would move all the way back to the ninth starting position, while Austin Thaxton and Brandon Setzer would move up to the front row.

MIDLAND, NC (May 25) - Matt Wallace prevailed over Harrison Burton after a torrid battle through the last 20 laps to win the Old Glory 125 Friday night for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Models. Wallace's dramatic victory was his first triumph in a PASS South Super Late Model.

"I don't know how we did it tonight, the 12 car [Burton] is definitely one to beat right now, they're the best short track car in the country basically," said Wallace, after climbing from the Unkers Theraputic Products Chevrolet in victory lane. "It's truly an honor to race side-by-side with these guys and win. There was actually a lot of momentum up on the outside and my dad kept me pumped up. This is awesome."

SETZER - PELTIER - LEE
Preston Peltier Powers To 5th
Easter Bunny 150 Victory
HICKORY, NC (March 31) - Preston Peltier survived a second half duel with local favorite Shane Lee to claim the victory in the 13th Annual Easter Bunny 150 Presented By MyComputerCareer.edu Saturday night at Hickory Motor Speedway. Peltier's fifth Easter Bunny 150 triumph pushed his overall Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model win total to 16, the most of any driver in series history.

"To be honest, the car was really fast on a short run, but the whole setup was a little too stiff and I thought we had messed up," said Peltier, who hauled his machine from Colorado where he now lives. "This place is just incredible, I've never felt it have this much grip before. This is the first race my daughter, Jocelyn, has been at, she's only eight weeks old, and I know where this Easter Bunny's going, that's for sure."

Matt Craig Powers to 3rd Straight
PASS South Win at Caraway
SOPHIA, NC (March 18) - Matt Craig led flag-to-flag Sunday afternoon to score his third straight Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model win at Caraway Speedway in the RGS Products 125. Craig's win moves him to fourth on the all-time PASS South winners' list, just one win behind Jay Fogleman.

In qualifying, Tate Fogleman bested Brandon Setzer for his second quick qualifying time of the season with a lap of 16.473 seconds (99.435 MPH). But, the top 10 qualifiers redraw would not be kind to Fogleman, moving him back to the ninth starting position, while fellow championship contenders, Craig and Kodie Conner, would move to the front row for the start.

At the drop of the green flag, Craig would quickly move to the point, while Fogleman was dicing his way up through the field. The first caution of the day would wave on lap 14 for a solo spin by rookie Charles Barnes in turn four.

While Griffith has found victory lane on the PASS North circuit in the past, Saturday's opening day win was his first in the south in PASS National Championship competition.

"We knew we had to do better here than we did last year and we were able to put it all together today to get the win," said Griffith in victory lane. "The track was hot and slick, but this win is big because we need to get all we can to compete with Ben [Rowe] for the national championship."

Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory Top 3 Finishers Get Guaranteed Spots For Oxford 250 & Richmond's Commonwealth Classic.

Dillon, Thompson, Richmond, North-South Shootout At Concord And Meltdown At Hickory Fill Out Remainder Of Championship Schedule.

NAPLES, ME (January 26) - Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials have released the six dates and locations that will make up the 11th Annual PASS National Championship Series. The schedule is comprised of six premier Super Late Model events, at a diverse group of tracks in both PASS North and PASS South, that will determine an overall PASS National Champion. The PASS National Championship Series will see the champion crowned in the final race of the 2018 season at Hickory Motor Speedway in the 13th Annual Mason-Dixon Meltdown 200. And, for the first time ever, the PASS National Championship Series will visit Richmond Raceway in Virginia to headline the inaugural Commonwealth Classic on October 19-20. Additionally, the Spring's most prestigious short track race in the country, the 13th Annual Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway, will now see the top three finishers get guaranteed starting spots, not only for the 45th Annual Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway, but also for the Commonwealth Classic at Richmond.

Since 2008, some of the best short track racers in North America have captured the PASS National Championship including Cassius Clark, Ben Rowe, Preston Peltier, Jay Fogleman, and Joey Doiron. While awards are currently still being finalized, the champion will once again receive a one-of-a-kind championship trophy featuring the American Bald Eagle. Additional awards will be announced at a later date.

"11 years ago, with our presence across the Eastern Seaboard and Canada, we felt the time was right to crown Super Late Model racing's only National champion," said PASS President Tom Mayberry. "This is probably the most diverse schedule we've ever put together with tracks of varying sizes and shapes to compete on. The Oxford 250 continues to be one of the crown jewels of short track racing. And, the addition of Richmond, will put all the competitors on a neutral site for the first time. "

The PASS National Championship Series, along with the 2018 PASS South championship season, gets underway in just one month with the 13th Annual South Carolina Clash at Dillon Motor Speedway in South Carolina on February 24. Fans will get to see drivers from across the spectrum of short track racing as the PASS Super Late Models will race for 200 laps and $6,000 to win and $700 to start, plus a major event for the Dillon Motor Speedway SuperTrucks paying $1000 to win and a UCAR/FWD race paying $500 to win as part of the South
Carolina Clash.

From Dillon Motor Speedway in February, the 2018 PASS National Championship Series will kick off the New England racing season and will be contested again at one of the fastest tracks in the country. The PASS Super Late Models will compete for 75 laps at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park in Connecticut as part of the annual Icebreaker weekend April 7-8, along with the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. The Icebreaker will also once again double as the PASS North Super Late Model championship season opener.

The PASS National Championship Series will stay in New England for perhaps the most legendary of all short track races. The 45th Annual Oxford 250 at Maine's Oxford Plains Speedway on August 26 will continue a tradition that started in 1974 and has seen such winners as Butch Lindley, Geoff Bodine, Junior Hanley, Ricky Craven, Kevin Harvick, and Kyle Busch. And, with one of the richest purses in all of Super Late Model racing, the Oxford 250 should once again attract North America's best drivers, all competing for the $25,000 winner's share, plus an additional $25,000 in lap leader money. The 2017 winner, Waterboro, ME's Curtis Gerry, bested over 60 other drivers to claim over $30,000 for his first win in the prestigious race.

The Fall will be busy with the PASS National Championship moving South for the final three events of the season. The PASS Super Late Models will headline the inaugural PASS Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway on Saturday night, October 20. The PASS Super Late Models will compete in a 100-lap event on the famed three-quarter mile oval, paying $10,000 to win and $700 to start. Additionally, Late Model Stocks will return to Richmond Raceway for the first time in a number of years, competing in a 75 lap race, paying $7,000 to win and $700 to start. Both the Limited Late Models and Street Stocks will make their first ever starts at Richmond Raceway with the Limiteds racing for 50 laps and $4000 to win and the Street Stocks racing for 25 laps and $2000 to win.

The PASS National Championship Series then moves to Concord Speedway for the 16th Annual North-South Shootout on Saturday, November 10. PASS will be the exclusive Super Late Model tour at Concord Speedway in 2018, with a PASS South event scheduled there for Friday night, May 25. The 2018 North-South Shootout will again be a test of man and machine for 125 laps around the treacherous half-mile triangular speedway. It will be a big weekend of racing that will see the Tour-Type Modifieds also competing for 125 laps in one of the biggest races of the season.

Finally, the PASS National Championship Series will conclude just one week later with the 13th Annual Mason-Dixon Meltdown 200 on Saturday, November 17 at the legendary Hickory Motor Speedway. The 200 lap contest will once again crown both the PASS National Championship 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 PASS South's Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway and the legendary Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway, and new for 2018, the inaugural Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway.

Hickory Motor Speedway To Host Easter Bunny 150 For 13th Straight Season
CHARLOTTE, NC (December 22) - Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials announced several dates today for the 2018 PASS South Super Late Model schedule. The South's original and longest running Super Late Model tour will be highlighted in 2018 by beginning the season with two of the biggest and most prestigious races in the region. With seven dates confirmed, the PASS South Super Late Models will compete on at least five different venues over the course of the 2018 season, with one date left to confirm and up to two more events possibly to be announced by mid-January.

"We believe this schedule should work well for our racers in and outside the southeast region in 2018," said PASS President Tom Mayberry. "We realize everyone is busy and we have worked very hard to avoid any conflicts with other series or track schedules. We're very appreciative for all of our enthusiastic track owners that have partnered with us again for our 13th season of racing in the South. We've got several big things on the burner for next year and are excited for the possibilities."

The 2018 season will start on, February 23-24, at Dillon Motor Speedway with the 13th Annual South Carolina Clash. After a very competitive race last year, the 200 lap event will once again be the first contest of the 2018 PASS National Championship Series, asphalt Super Late Model racing's only true national championship.

The PASS South Super Late Models will then move to the Tarheel State for the 13th Annual Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory Motor Speedway on Saturday, March 31. Hickory, the longest tenured track on the PASS South circuit dating back to 2006, will once again hold the biggest and most traditional Super Late Model race in the Carolinas. As always, the Easter Bunny 150 is expected to attract some of the top short track racers in the country for one of the most sought after trophies in the sport.

In May, the series will move to one of the fastest and most unique tracks in the country. PASS will expand its relationship with Concord Speedway by again hosting the Old Glory 125 on Friday night, May 25 as part of the big Memorial Day weekend festivities in the Charlotte area. The famed triangular half-mile, known for its legendary Big 10 Series, will once again also see the PASS South Super Late Models as part of the 16th Annual North-South Shootout on November 9-10. Additionally, PASS will be the exclusive sanctioning body for Super Late Models at Concord Speedway in 2018.

The PASS South Super Late Models will also return to two of the Mid-Atlantic's most exciting speedways in 2018 with a couple of 150 lappers. Orange County Speedway will host the series on Saturday night, July, 21 before the tour moves to South Boston Speedway on Saturday night, August 11 for a twin bill with the NASCAR Late Model Stocks.

PASS will close out the 2018 season by crowning the series champion at the 13th Annual Mason-Dixon MegaMeltdown 200 at Hickory Motor Speedway on Saturday, November 17. Final confirmation for any other dates will be released by January 20. Additional information on support divisions will also be announced in the near future.

Look for the release of the 2018 schedule for the PASS North Super Late Models and the remainder of the PASS National Championship Series dates to be released in the near future.

And, don't forget, the biggest short track race on asphalt, the 45th Annual Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine will take place August 24-26, 2018, paying $25,000 to the winner plus additional lap leader bonus money. Curtis Gerry, the 2017 Oxford 250 winner, took home over $30,000 for his triumph in this year's event.

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 legendary Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway and PASS South's Easter Bunny 150 at the historic Hickory Motor Speedway.
