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 still contact Scott
Reed or Kyler Honeycutt.
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.

8th Annual
Mason-Dixon Meltdown To Feature PASS
Super Late Models and Must See
Racing Xtreme Sprints
PASS To Crown
Champions; Lightening Fast Winged
Sprints To Tackle Southern National
Motorsports Park
CHARLOTTE,
NC (August 7) – Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) President Tom Mayberry is
pleased to announce that a deal has
been finalized to include the Must
See Racing Xtreme Sprint Cars at
this year’s season ending Mason
Dixon Meltdown at Southern National
Motorsports Park in Kenly, NC. The
8th Annual Mason Dixon Meltdown will
be held November 22-23 and will
serve as one of the biggest PASS
races of the year. Several champions
will be crowned at the Meltdown
including the PASS National Super
Late Model Champion, the PASS South
Super Late Model Champion, and the
PASS Pro Late Model Champion. In
addition to 200 green flag laps of
PASS Super Late Model racing, the
Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Cars
will bring an added element of speed
and excitement to an already action
packed weekend.
“The Mason
Dixon Meltdown has always been
exciting because it brings the best
Super Late Model racers from the
North and South together for one
final time as we crown the PASS
National and PASS South Champions,”
said PASS President Tom Mayberry.
“The addition of the Must See Racing
Xtreme Sprint Cars will be great. It
will give our fans the chance to not
only see Winged Sprint Cars race on
asphalt, but it will also give them
a glimpse of some of the fastest
cars to race on short tracks period.
These guys have been setting track
records everywhere they go and I
wouldn’t be surprised at all to see
them do the same at Southern
National.”
Since its
inception in 2006, the Mason Dixon
Meltdown has become a “must see”
event for short track fans around
the country. The inaugural race was
held at Virginia’s South Boston
Speedway and featured the PASS Super
Late Models and Tour-type Modifieds.
The Meltdown has rotated between
several tracks including South
Boston Speedway, North Carolina’s
Concord Speedway, and Tennessee’s
high-banked Newport Speedway.
Dominated in its early years by New
Englanders, the Southern contingent
has fared much better in recent
editions. In 2013, the Mason Dixon
Meltdown will move to Southern
National Motorsports Park for the
first time. It will also mark the
first ever visit to Southern
National for the Must See Racing
Xtreme Sprint Cars. With their
season winding down in late summer,
the Meltdown will provide a great
opportunity for the Midwest’s best
Winged Sprint Car drivers to get a
final race in down South prior to
winter.
“All of us at Must
See Racing are really looking
forward to our first visit competing
in the rich history of the Mason
Dixon Meltdown and the anticipated
speed at Southern National
Motorsports Park on November 23rd,”
said Must See Racing President Jim
Hanks. “Our race teams from across
the country and Canada are looking
forward to challenging the track
record and entertaining the fans
with high speed open wheel to open
wheel action. The MSR 900 plus
horsepower direct drive sprint cars
that only weigh 1600 lbs. with down
force wings are sure to make this a
wild, memorable and entertaining
race for all the fans.”
The
8th Annual Mason Dixon Meltdown at
Southern National Motorsports Park
will cap an exciting November which
will see the PASS South Super Late
Models featured in another marquee
event, the North South Shootout at
Caraway Speedway on November 9.
Additional support divisions and the
entire weekend schedule for the 8th
Annual Mason Dixon Meltdown will be
released in the coming weeks.

racer,” said PASS President Tom
Mayberry. “For whoever wins the 2013
PASS National title, no matter where
they go, this championship ring will
stand as a symbol of the hard work
and dedication it took to achieve
one of short track racing’s ultimate
goals.”
The PASS National
Series is comprised of six elite
Super Late Model events throughout
North America and gets underway in
less than three weeks with the

Auburndale Speedway on February 8-9.
In addition to a talented group of
PASS regulars, former PASS National
Champions Ben Rowe and Jay Fogleman
hope to contain a strong contingent
of Florida Super Late Model
standouts on the tricky quarter mile
oval.
The PASS National
Series will also be highlighted by
the return of Super Late Model
action to the 40th Annual TD Bank
250 at Oxford Plains Speedway in
July. The TD Bank 250 is the biggest
single day short track event in the
country paying $25,000 to win, with
an additional $25,000 in guaranteed
lap money.
In addition, a
PASS National Series event will be
held in Canada for the first time
ever at Autodrome Chaudiere on
September 7. The 200 lap race will
pay $10,000 to the winner plus an
additional $20,000 in guaranteed lap
leader money. This race will also be
the final event of the Autobus La
Quebecoise Triple Crown, a
“mini-series” of three PASS North
races at Autodrome Chaudiere with a
separate bonus points fund totaling
$30,000 for drivers who compete in
all three events there.

Speedway in September.

Sunoco Driven
Challenge Offers Unique Nationwide Competition For
Drivers
Sunoco and Joe Gibbs Racing Partner
to Recognize Drivers From Five Regional Series
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

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.

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.”
Oxford Plains
Speedway Under New
Ownership
OXFORD,
ME (October 14) – Veteran
motorsports promoter Tom Mayberry
has entered into an agreement to
purchase Oxford Plains Speedway. The
transaction is expected to become
final this week. The track is being
purchased from previous owner Bill
Ryan who has operated the speedway
since 1998. Mayberry, a former racer
himself, has found a great deal of
success as Owner and President of
the Pro All Stars Series (PASS).
PASS was founded in 2001 and has
since grown to be the nation’s
premier sanctioning body for asphalt
short track racing. PASS currently
sanctions a variety of stock car
divisions throughout North America.
Mayberry knows the challenges of
owning and promoting a racing
facility and is looking forward to
his latest endeavor.
“Obviously, I grew up attending
races at Oxford Plains and
eventually was able to race there
myself,” said Mayberry. “We hope we
can continue the great tradition at
Oxford and are looking forward to a
bright future. I’m looking forward
to working with the competitors and
the fans and I hope to have their
support.”
The TD Bank 250 is
the biggest single day short track
event in the United States and that
great tradition will continue under
Mayberry’s leadership. The 40th
Annual TD Bank 250 weekend has
already been scheduled and will be
contested July 19-21, 2013. The TD
Bank 250 will be a PASS sanctioned,
“open” Super Late Model event with
qualifying and racing for the PASS
Super Late Models on July 21 to
continue the single day tradition.
It will be the first time the TD
Bank 250 has featured Super Late
Models since 2006 when the division
formerly known as Pro Stocks last
competed in the event. Rules are
being adjusted at this time so
various competitors can make their
cars legal if they wish to compete.
The Oxford Plains Speedway
regular season opener is tentatively
scheduled for April 20, 2013. The
full season schedule and event
schedule for the TD Bank 250 will be
complete by December 1. This will be
a major transition period for
everyone involved in Oxford Plains
Speedway, but the new management
will let competitors know divisions
and rules for 2013 by approximately
November 5.
Plans are in the
works for Oxford Plains Speedway to
be a multi-use facility with more
major events currently being
scheduled at this time. A swap
meet/flea market has already been
announced for October 25-27, 2013
with more details to be announced in
the near future.

Pro Late Models To Become Newest
PASS Division in 2013
CHARLOTTE, NC (September 6)
– Officials from the Pro All Stars
Series (PASS) announced today that
the Pro Late Models will become the
sanctioning bodies newest feature
division beginning in 2013. The PASS
Pro Late Models will build on the
platform began by the Carolina
Competition Sports (CCS) Super
Limited division in 2012. The PASS
Pro Late Models will continue to
employ a variety of chassis and
engine combinations to allow racers
an affordable way to compete in a
touring division. The first event
for the PASS Pro Late Models will be
on November 24th at Concord Speedway
as part of the 7th Annual Mason
Dixon Meltdown/Thanksgiving Classic.
Starting on March 9, 2013 at Dillon
Motor Speedway, the PASS Pro Late
Models will tour regularly as a
support division with the PASS South
Super Late Models and will also
stage stand alone events throughout
the season.
“We’re looking
forward to having the PASS Pro Late
Models continue our tradition of
marquee racing throughout the
Southeast in 2013 and beyond,” said
PASS President Tom Mayberry. “This
year the CCS Super Limiteds built a
great foundation and with slight
rules modifications and procedure
changes, we hope that the PASS Pro
Late Models can take that leap to
the next level. The PASS Pro Late
Models will continue to be a great
stepping stone division for
youngsters looking to make the move
from Bandelero and Legends cars up
to PASS Super Late Models. But it
will also provide local Saturday
night racers who never thought they
would have a chance to race at
different race tracks a really
affordable way to showcase their
talents in front of different race
fans.”
The PASS Pro Late
Model will be open to both perimeter
and straight rail chassis, with
engine and weight rules aimed at
making both types of chassis
competitive. Also in an effort to
keep costs down, racers will race on
a restricted tire rule. All of the
factors help make the PASS Pro Late
Models one of the most unique
divisions in all of short track
racing.
This year, Lexington,
SC’s Austin Leitner has shown how
competitive the Late Model
Stock-style perimeter chassis has
been versus the more traditional
straight rails by winning three
races and currently leading the
points standings in the Super
Limited division. Youngsters like
Tate Fogleman, Cole Timm, Walker
Yates, Jeff Batten, and Tyler Dayton
have provided great excitement as
they hone their skills in bigger
race cars. While veterans Kyle
Beattie and Jody Measamer have shown
that with some minor changes you can
take one of these types of race cars
and move up into the PASS South
Super Late Model division.
The purse is guaranteed and all tech
and officiating will be handled in
full by PASS officials. For

TIMM - CHURCH -
NEWTON
JAY FOGLEMAN
2013 PASS SOUTH & PASS
NATIONAL SLM CHAMPION
Church Dominates for
Mason-Dixon Meltdown Win
in
PASS South Finale
.
LUCAMA, NC (November 23) –
Tyler Church led 120 of the
200 laps that made up the
8th Annual Mason Dixon
Meltdown for a dominant win
Saturday afternoon at
Southern National
Motorsports Park in the 2013
season finale for the Pro
All Stars Series (PASS)
South Super Late Models. The
win marked a strong final
third of the season that saw
Church also claim his first
career PASS South Super Late
Model win back in September
at Hickory Motor Speedway.
“I’ve always wanted to
win somewhere other than
Hickory and Tri-County,
we’ve won up there quite a
bit in the Limiteds, but
finally we were able to win
somewhere else,” said Church
in victory lane. “It’s
really not sunk in yet. This
place is really cool and I
can’t believe we were able
to win the Meltdown.”
The afternoon began with
Church just missing out on
the track record as he
claimed his first quick time
in a PASS South Super Late
Model with a lap of 97.337
miles per hour. It was
obvious after the PASS South
redraw that Church not only
had speed, but he also had
luck on his side, drawing
pill number one to start
from the pole for the Mason
Dixon Meltdown.
The
race began ominously when
eighth place starter Tyler
Dippel got loose exiting
turn two on the first lap of
the race which resulted in
several cars spinning to
avoid the accident. Among
the cars collected were
defending Mason Dixon
Meltdown winner Preston
Peltier, Tate Fogleman, Joey
Polewarczyk, Shelton McNair,
Jr, and Ted Mickelson. Both
Peltier and Fogleman would
receive heavy damage and be
out of the race before they
could even complete a single
lap.
When the race
restarted, Trevor Noles took
the lead from the outside of
row one in front of Church
and Ben Rowe. On lap 15,
Church made the move on
Noles to take the lead and
started to distance himself
from the rest of the field.
After starting tenth, Derek
Ramstrom methodically made
his way toward the front
passing Cole Timm for second
on lap 75. In the meantime,
Church had stretched his
lead to more than a
straightaway over Ramstrom.
The race went caution free
until the lap 100 halfway
break when Brandon Jones
spun in turn two. Only 12
cars remained on the lead
lap when the field entered
the pits for the 10 minute
halfway break to change four
tires and refuel.
At
the drop of the green flag
for segment two of the
Meltdown, Church led the
field into turn one followed
closely by Ramstrom and
Timm. Just 10 laps later,
Ramstrom and Timm moved
around Church sending the
early leader back to third.
Like Church had done in the
first half of the race,
Ramstrom had nearly a
straightway advantage over
Church who had retaken
second from Timm. With less
than 40 laps to go, Church
had closed back in on
Ramstrom. It was clear that
Ramstrom’s Matthews Truck
Service Chevrolet had
developed a problem as
evidenced by the audible
engine miss one could hear
every time the #35 sped by.
With 25 laps to go, Church
moved around Ramstrom’s
ailing machine for the lead.
Church’s victory
celebration was put on hold
however, when Jay Fogleman
and Jody Measamer both spun
in turn four with two laps
to go while battling for
fifth. On the restart,
Church led the field to turn
one as Ramstrom dropped back
due to the problem that had
developed 40 laps earlier.
Church took the checkered
flag for his second career
PASS South Super Late Model
win over Timm, Roger Lee
Newton, Steve Legendre, and
Joey Doiron. Rounding out
the top ten were Rowe,
Ramstrom, Harrison Burton,
Trey Mitchell, and Measamer.
Despite a 12th place
finish, Jay Fogleman became
the first driver since
Preston Peltier in 2010 to
claim both the PASS National
Series and PASS South Super
Late Model championships.
Fogleman said afterwards
that this season was his
last run for a title as he
will step back to partial
schedule in 2014 to focus
more attention on his son
Tate’s racing career.
“I just can’t say enough
for the people that have
helped make this happen like
Will Brafford and Becky and
Dickie Woodman to give me a
car to race and have a
chance to win these
championships,” said
Fogleman. “We really didn’t
start out with a plan to
race the whole year so to
win the South and National
championships is just a
great way to end it up and
go out on top.”
In
the PASS Pro Late Model
division, Austin Thompson
led flag-to-flag to claim
his first career series win.
Thompson dedicated the win
to his mother who is
currently battling breast
cancer.
Trevor Noles
finished second, good enough
to cap off a seven win
season and win the PASS Pro
Late Model division
championship. Noles will
move up to compete full-time
in the Coulter Motorsports
#2 and will race for both
the 2014 PASS National and
PASS South Super Late Model
championships. Jeff Batten
finished third in front of
Walker Yates and Austin
Reed.
Brian Gerster
took the win in the 30 lap
Must See Racing Xtreme
Sprint Car feature and
Chalin Williamson took the
Mini Cup checkered flag.

Motor Speedway, 9th Annual
Mason Dixon Meltdown at
Southern National
Motorsports Park and 12th
Annual North-South Shootout
at Caraway Speedway. Season
kicks off with return to New
Smyrna Speedway in February
for Winter Meltdown. Series
will return to
Greenville-Pickens Speedway
for the first time since
2010 for two events.
CHARLOTTE, NC
(November 21) – Excitement
continues to build as one of
the most anticipated short
track events of the fall,
the 8th Annual Mason Dixon
Meltdown, gets set to run
this weekend at Southern
National Motorsports Park in
Kenly, NC. The Meltdown will
feature a 200 lap event for
the Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) Super Late Models
that will determine both the
PASS National and PASS South
champions.
PASS
National points leader Jay
Fogleman leads southern
frontrunners Kyle Grissom,
Spencer Davis, Jody
Measamer, Trevor Noles, John
Batten, Tyler Church and
others against a formidable
group of challengers from
New England led by Ben Rowe,
Joey Doiron, Joey
Polewarczyk, Kyle Desouza,
Derek Ramstrom, and Steve
Legendre.
An event
creating nearly as much buzz
as the PASS Super Late Model
race will be a 30 lapper for
the Must See Racing Xtreme
Sprint Cars. It will be the
first time winged sprints
cars with 410 cubic inch
engines have raced on
asphalt in North Carolina
since 1989. The Must See
Racing Xtreme Sprint Cars
will make an all-out assault
on the overall track record
at Southern National
Motorsports Park and will
feature such open wheel
stars as Jimmy McCune, Brian
Gerster, Davey Hamilton,
Jr., Troy Decaire, Kody
Swanson and Brian Tyler.
Additionally, PASS
officials announced today
the release of the 2014
tentative schedules for the
PASS South Super Late Models
and PASS Pro Late
Models.
The
PASS South Super Late Model
schedule will be highlighted
by the return of the series
to two of the South’s most
prolific half-mile
speedways. The season will
begin February 7-8 and will
begin both the PASS South
and PASS National seasons by
kicking off Florida
Speedweeks with the Winter
Meltdown at New Smyrna
Speedway. Greenville-Pickens
Speedway returns for two
events in 2014. The historic
South Carolina track first
began hosting stock car
events in 1946 and was once
a hotbed for Super Late
Model racing. In addition to
the season opener,
Greenville-Pickens Speedway
will once again host the
Firecracker 150 on July 3.
That event returns to
Greenville-Pickens where it
was held from 2008-2010.
PASS South and the PASS
National series will once
again contest the Easter
Bunny 150 at Hickory Motor
Speedway on April 19 and
will conclude the season on
November 22 with Mason Dixon
Meltdown at Southern
National Motorsports Park.
Since their inceptions in
2006, both the Easter Bunny
150 and the Mason Dixon
Meltdown have grown in
stature to become two of the
premier events in short
track racing. Additionally,
two Virginia tracks will
join the PASS South Super
Late Model family of tracks
with both Franklin County
Speedway and Lonesome Pine
Raceway hosting the series
for the first time in 2014.
“We are very pleased to
be able to release our 2014
PASS South Super Late Model
schedule at such an early
date,” said PASS President
Tom Mayberry. “We’ve had
great support from our
competitors this year and we
hope by releasing our
schedule in November that
will give them plenty of
time to prepare for next
year. We’ve got some great
tracks returning to the
schedule and we look forward
to making lasting
relationships at our new
venues as well.”
Southern National
Motorsports Park in Kenly,
NC will host three PASS
South Super Late Models in
2014 on May 31, July 12, and
the Mason Dixon Meltdown on
November 22. Hickory Motor
Speedway will also host
multiple events with the
Easter Bunny 150 on April 19
and the Over The Mountain
150 on September 20.
Dillon Motor Speedway will
host the 9th Annual South
Carolina Clash on March 8.
Orange County Speedway, a
favorite of many PASS South
Super Late Model
competitors, returns for a
ninth straight year with the
Orange Blossom Special on
April 5. Caraway Speedway
will also be back as the
PASS South Super Late Models
will compete as part of the
popular 12th Annual
North-South Shootout on date
in November still yet to be
determined.
South
Boston Speedway will host
two PASS South events in
2014 on June 7 and August
16. Fellow Virginia
racetracks Franklin County
Speedway and Lonesome Pine
Raceway will host PASS
events for the first time
ever in 2014. Franklin
County Speedway has seen a
revival this year under
veteran racing promoter
Langley Austin and will
welcome the PASS South Super
Late Models to the facility
on June 21. Likewise, the
picturesque Lonesome Pine
Raceway in Southwest
Virginia will see the return
of Super Late Models for the
first time in more than a
decade on August 2.
The PASS Pro Late Models
will compete in at least 11
companion events with the
PASS South Super Late Models
in 2014 with up to two
additional dates being
added.
Although the
2014 schedule is nearly
complete, additional dates
could be added in May and on
October 18 by December 4.
The Pro All Stars Series
is recognized as North
America’s premier
sanctioning body for asphalt

Rowe Survives To End
Drought With North-South Shootout
Win at Caraway
SOHPIA, NC (November 9) –
Ben Rowe weaved his way through a
multi-car accident with four laps to
go while running sixth and led the
remaining laps to win Saturday
afternoon’s Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) South Super Late Model
North-South Shootout at Caraway
Speedway. Rowe’s 8th career PASS
South Super Late Model victory ended
a winless streak dating back to
September, 2012 when he won the PASS
400 at Maine’s Beech Ridge Motor
Speedway.
“It was kind of our
strategy to back off, but the
leaders got out front and we
couldn’t run with them,” said Rowe,
the All-Time winningest driver in
PASS Super Late Model competition.
“I knew all hell was going to break
loose with 10 or 15 laps to go and
we just wanted to be in the right
position. I’d rather be lucky than
good any day and lo and behold we
got through the wreck and were
leading with just a few laps to go.”
In Friday night’s qualifying
session, veteran Lee Tissot turned
the quick time around the .455 mile
speedway with a lap of 99.969 miles
per hour. Following the customary
PASS South redraw for the top 10
qualifiers, Tissot would line up
fifth for the 150 lap feature while
Justin Allison and Rowe would move
up front to pace the field. But all
eyes would be on the back of the
field where Kyle Grissom and Daniel
Hemric would start 21st and 22nd
respectively. Grissom struggled with
an engine issue in qualifying, while
Hemric had to start at the rear
after missing qualifying due to his
racing in Phoenix Friday night in
the Truck Series event.
Under
overcast skies Saturday afternoon,
Allison led early on, while Grissom
and Hemric quickly made their moves
up toward the front. It only took
Grissom five laps to make it into
the top five. Hemric proved to be a
bit more methodical moving into the
top ten by lap 24.
Several
drivers took turns at the front of
the field including Allison, Spencer
Davis, and Ryan Moore. The fast
qualifier Tissot was in the mix as
well taking the lead for the first
time on lap 57 from Davis. Two hard
crashes on the frontstretch in the
early going took out several top ten
contenders including John Batten,
Gus Dean, Bill Catania, and rookie
Ashley Rogero.
Points leader
Jay Fogleman had a scare when a flat
right front tire caused him to stop
on the track on lap 92 resulting in
the Durham, NC veteran going a lap
down. But, when early leader Moore
stopped with a problem of his own 12
laps later, Fogleman got the free
pass putting him back on the lead
lap and back into contention.
Tissot would lead the field down
on the restart, but spun his tires
coming up to speed allowing Grissom
to move up front for the first time
in the race. Hemric would soon make
his move into second and it looked
like the two drivers who started on
row 11 would duke it out for the
win. With 22 laps to go, they made
contact entering turn one which sent
Grissom up the track and Hemric into
the lead. But a rash of late
cautions kept the field together in
the race’s waning laps.
With
four laps to go, both Hemric and
Grissom spun their tires coming to
the green flag. As the field entered
turn one, it appeared Hemric lost
control and spun up the track as the
entire field sped in behind him. In
one instant the entire complexion of
the race changed drastically as
Grissom, Kyle Desouza, Tissot,
Allison, Jody Measamer, Randy
Gentry, Karl Weber and others were
all swept up into the accident.
Rowe, who was running sixth at
the time of the accident, emerged
from the carnage with the lead and
held on for the final four laps for
his first PASS South Super Late
Model win since 2011. Fogleman
rebounded to finish second in front
of Ted Mickelson, Gentry and Davis.
Rounding out the top ten were Joseph
Mursuli, Allison, Weber, Desouza,
and Bobby Measmer, Jr.
Next
up for the PASS Super Late Models
will be the 8th Annual Mason Dixon
Meltdown 200 at Southern National
Motorsports Park on Saturday,
November 23rd. The Meltdown will be
the final PASS event of 2013 and
will see champions crowned in the
PASS National Series, PASS South,
and the PASS Pro Late Models. It
will also feature the 900 HP Must
See Racing Xtreme Winged Sprint Cars
in their only visit to the Carolinas
this year.

points leaders Jay Fogleman
and Kyle Grissom both come
to Caraway Speedway with
lots of optimism, but
differing goals. Fogleman’s
win in last year’s
North-South Shootout helped
propel him to the 2012 PASS
National Championship and
Grissom has two wins in his
last three PASS South starts
at Caraway.
This year
has seen the PASS South
championship fight once
again come down to Fogleman
and Grissom with two races
left, but unlike last year,
Grissom is the one pursuing
Fogleman. After a strong
start to the season that saw
Grissom win at Myrtle Beach
Speedway and Caraway, the
defending PASS South Super
Late Model champion has
struggled and has fallen 76
points behind Fogleman. He’s
finished no higher than 9th
in the last three races.
And, Grissom failed to
finish at Southern National
in August due to a
mechanical problem and most
recently at Orange County
due to a crash while racing
for the lead with less than
15 laps to go. With more
PASS South wins at Caraway
Speedway than any other
driver, Grissom knows any
chance to repeat as champion
relies on nothing less than
a win in the North-South
Shootout.
“We’ve
taken the whole car apart to
try and figure out what’s
going on and haven’t found
anything major yet, so
hopefully we can get it
figured out for Caraway,”
said Grissom. “Caraway is a
track that you’ve really got
to hit your marks every lap
and be consistent. It fits
my driving style and we’re
looking forward to hopefully
getting things turned around
there.”
While Grissom
has struggled through the
summer and early fall,
Fogleman has been on a
consistent march towards his
first PASS South title. The
Durham, NC veteran has
finished no lower than third
in the last three races and
scored a popular win at his
home track, the Orange
County Speedway. After
barely missing out on the
title the last two years to
Ryan Blaney and Grissom,
Fogleman looks to have his
best shot yet heading to
Caraway this weekend and the
season ending Mason Dixon
Meltdown on November 23rd.
And, with 13-year-old son
Tate’s racing taking more of
a priority moving forward,
Fogleman knows that this
year is likely his last
chance to win that elusive
PASS South championship.
“It’s been easier this
year honestly because I’ve
been spending so much time
working on Tate’s stuff that
I haven’t had time to think
about it,” says Fogleman.
“It’s been hard the last two
years because we’ve lost the
PASS South points right at
the end of the year. To be
that close the last two
years and with this being my
last run for a championship,
I want to get the South and
the National done. Caraway
and Southern National are
good tracks for us. All we
can do is keep doing what
we’re doing and hopefully we
can end up winning this
deal.”
While Fogleman
and Grissom look to close in
on a championship, they will
be faced with field of
hungry competitors looking
for a win in the prestigious
North-South Shootout. Gus
Dean returns to PASS South
competition this weekend in
the potent #2 out of the
Coulter Motorsports shops.
Justin Allison, Bobby
Measmer, Jr., Randy Gentry,
and Kyle Moon also return
and look to build on their
strong runs at Caraway in
May. John Batten and Jody
Measamer will also be in
competition in the hopes of
backing up top 5 runs at
Orange County, while Rodney
Brooks and Bill Catania look
to get their entries back up
front. The North will once
again be well represented in
this Civil War on Wheels by
4-time PASS North champion
Ben Rowe, Massachusetts’
Kyle Desouza, and New York’s
David Russell. Short track
veteran Lee Tissot steps
behind the wheel of Jimmy
Doyle’s familiar #71, while
rookie Ashely Rogero steps
into the Hamke Race Cars
house car and hopes to join
fellow rookies Joseph
Mursuli and Karl Weber near
the front of the field.
Action gets under way on
Friday, November 8th for the
North-South Shootout at
Caraway Speedway with
practice and qualifying for
the PASS South Super Late
Models that afternoon. On
Saturday, November 9th,
racing will start at 2 PM
featuring 150 laps for the
PASS South Super Late
Models, 125 laps for the
Tour-type Modifieds, 50 laps
for Southern Modified Lite,
25 laps for Legends, and 50
lappers for the Limited Late
Models and Late Model
Supertrucks.
Two
weeks later on November
23rd, the PASS South and
PASS National Champions will
be crowned at Southern
National Motorsports Park as
part of the 8th Annual Mason
Dixon Meltdown, which will
also feature the Must See
Xtreme Racing Winged Sprint
Cars, PASS Pro Late Models,
and Mini Cups.
The
Pro All Stars Series is

America’s premier

NOVEMBER 9th
NOVEMBER 23rd
Big November Set
as PASS South Racers Look
Forward to Major Events
CHARLOTTE, NC
(October 30) – As the leaves
begin to fall and
temperatures become more
brisk, Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) South Super Late
Model teams are making final
preparations for two of the
biggest events of the
season. First, PASS South
racers will head to Caraway
Speedway in Asheboro, NC on
November 9th to race as part
of the 11th Annual
North-South Shootout. Then,
the 2013 season will come to
a close on November 23rd
with a big 200 lapper at
Southern National
Motorsports Park in Kenly,
NC as part of the 8th Annual
Mason Dixon Meltdown. Both
races carry a great deal of
prestige in the short track
racing community and will
feature an array of unique
divisions in addition to the
PASS South Super Late
Models, including the
Tour-type Modifieds at
Caraway and Must See Xtreme
Racing Sprint Cars at
Southern National.
The North-South Shootout
will feature a 150 lap event
for the PASS South Super
Late Models on the tough
.455 mile oval. The Shootout
has become known as a “can’t
miss” event for short track
fans, particularly fans of
the Modifieds. But, last
year’s hard fought contest
for the PASS South Super
Late Models which saw
current points leader Jay
Fogleman hold off rising
start Ross Kenseth in a
thrilling finish, has fans
clamoring to see more from
the “Big Boys With The Bad,
Fast Toys.”
Rookie
Cole Timm heads to Caraway
Speedway full of confidence
for a good run in the
North-South Shootout. Timm
currently sits fifth in PASS
South points with a best
finish of fourth coming at
Southern National back in
June. With a strong run at
Caraway last year in the
PASS Pro Late Model division
and another good run going
in the Super back in May,
Timm feels like the time is
right to make his name in a
high profile event like the
Shootout. “We qualified
third at Caraway earlier in
the year, but had some motor
problems in the race that
took us out of a good
finish,” said Timm. “It
definitely helps going back
to some of these places two
and three times. Getting
more experience helps every
week. The Shootout and the
Meltdown are both big races,
there’s going to be a lot of
good cars there and we are
going to go out and try to
do our best for sure.”
Another rookie who has
been equally impressive this
year in PASS South is
Georgia’s Spencer Davis.
Davis has shown steady
improvement throughout the
year and currently sits
third in points behind
veterans Fogleman and Kyle
Grissom. This year’s Mason
Dixon Meltdown will be
Davis’ first try for a
checkered flag in the big
race, but not his first time
racing at Southern National
Motorsports Park. As a
matter of fact, Southern
National could very well be
Davis’ best track on the
circuit. In June, Davis won
the PASS Pro Late Model race
there and led the most laps
in the PASS South Super Late
Model event. He followed
that up by scoring his best
career PASS South finish in
August, finishing in fourth.
All of those factors have
Davis confident heading into
this year’s Mason Dixon
Meltdown.
“I can’t
wait to go back to Kenly,
I’ve always liked that track
and we had a real good run
there last time,” said
Davis. “We’ve been working
the kinks out of this new
car and I think we finally
got it figured out.
Hopefully we can repeat our
last run there and pick up
those last three spots and
keep the brakes up under the
car this time.”
Action gets under way on
Friday, November 8th for the
North-South Shootout at
Caraway Speedway with
practice and qualifying for
the PASS South Super Late
Models that afternoon. On
Saturday, November 9th,
racing will start at 2 PM
featuring 150 laps for the
PASS South Super Late
Models, 125 laps for the
Tour-type Modifieds, 50 laps
for Southern Modified Lite,

Models and Late Model

Fogleman Takes Wild PASS
South Win at Home Track in
Orange Blossom Special
ROUGEMONT, NC (October 19) –
Pro All Stars Series (PASS)
South Super Late Model
points leader Jay Fogleman
took one step closer to the
championship by winning a
wild 8th Annual Orange
Blossom Special at Orange
County Speedway Saturday
night. The win was
Fogleman’s 9th career PASS
South Super Late Model win,
but his first at Orange
County Speedway, the track
he began his racing career
at over 30 years ago.
“The pace was all over
the place tonight, it was
real hard to back up and
ride because everybody was
going so hard around us,”
said Fogleman in victory
lane. “Just glad to get a
win here for all the people
that have supported us over
the years at this place.
It’s really nice to finally
win one here, we’ve lost a
couple.”
Throughout
the afternoon, eyes were
focused on the heavy
overcast skies above Orange
County Speedway as there was
some doubt if the race would
even get started. But, after
a very slight delay which
saw practice start about 10
minutes late, focus quickly
shifted to qualifying and
race preparation. In
qualifying, John Hunter
Nemecheck sped to his first
career PASS South quick time
with a lap of 97.157 miles
per hour. After the
customary top 10 qualifiers
redraw, Nemechek would slide
back to the fifth starting
position while Jody Measamer
and Derek Ramstrom moved to
the front row for the start.
However, Ramstrom and
seventh place starter Daniel
Hemric would have problems
on the pace laps and neither
driver would be able to make
a single lap in the 150 lap
feature.
At the drop
of the green flag, Measamer
sped out into the lead, but
would be overtaken by
Nemechek on lap 9. Nemecheck
and defending PASS South
champion Kyle Grissom
entertained the crowd by
swapping the lead at least
four times over the next 20
laps. The first major
incident of the night
occurred on lap 40 when
Brandon Ward was turned head
on into the front stretch
wall after contact with
Randy Gentry. Tempers flared
and Gentry was parked for
the night by PASS officials
for rough driving.
On
the ensuing restart, race
leader Grissom was slow to
come up to speed and dropped
back to 7th. In the chaos,
Preston Peltier, driving the
Hamke Racing house car, spun
in front of the field
exiting turn four after
contact from Measamer while
racing for third. Ryan Moore
and Jared Irvan collided in
the melee and stopped on
track to bring out the fifth
caution of the race.
Grissom and Nemecheck
continued to be the class of
the field through the first
two-thirds of the race, but
were joined in a furious
battle for the lead with
less than 50 laps to go by
Tyler Church, Fogleman,
Peltier, and Measamer. On
lap 104, Peltier moved by
Fogleman for fourth, but
contact between the two in
turn two sent Peltier
spinning for the second time
in the race. Peltier again
did a complete 360 degree
spin and kept going without
bringing out the caution.
With 24 laps to go,
Nemechek bobbled off of turn
two while challenging
Grissom for the lead and
fell back to fourth. But, on
the next lap, Nemechek and
Fogleman would make slight
contact again in turn two,
this time resulting in
Nemechek hitting the outside
wall, ending his night and
bringing out the race’s
ninth caution.
Following the next restart,
Church got into the back of
the race leader Grissom
entering turn three sending
Grissom’s machine into the
outside wall. Church was
sent to the back of the
field for rough driving by
PASS officials, while
Grissom went behind the wall
seriously impacting his bid
for a second straight PASS
South championship.
Fogleman got the better of
Measamer on the final
restart of the race and led
the final 22 laps for his
second PASS South Super Late
Model win of 2013. Peltier
and Church rebounded to
finish second and third
respectively in front of
John Batten and Measamer.
Rounding out the top ten
were Russell Fleeman, Trevor
Noles, Irvan, Roger Lee
Newton, and Cole Timm.
In the PASS Pro Late
Model division, Trevor Noles
passed Jeff Batten on lap 10
and led the rest of the way
for his seventh win of the
season. Kodie Conner
finished second, in front of
fast qualifier Erik Nash,
Batten, and Fryar. Zane
Smith took the win in the 25
lap Legends feature.
The PASS South Super Late
Models will be in action
again on Saturday, November
9th at Caraway Speedway as
part of the 11th Annual
North-South Shootout.

$20 A Carload
Offer To Greet PASS Fans
At Orange County
CHARLOTTE, NC
(October 8) – After a long
season for fans and
competitors that began back
in March, the Pro All Stars
Series (PASS) will be giving
back to their fans at Orange
County Speedway. PASS Fan
Appreciation will offer $20
a car load admission for up
to four adults per car at
the upcoming 8th Annual
Orange Blossom Special on
Saturday, October 19th
featuring 150 laps of
intense action for the PASS
South Super Late Models. Any
additional adults in a
vehicle with more than four
adults will only be charged
$5 more per person. Always
innovative, PASS was the
first short track racing
sanctioning body in the
country to make this
opportunity available back
in 2010 at Orange County
Speedway.
“We felt
like Orange County Speedway
was the perfect place to
make this offer available to
our fans who have supported
us all season long,” said
PASS President Tom Mayberry.
“Orange County has proven to
be an ideal facility for the
PASS South Super Late Models
and we expect this year’s
Orange Blossom Special to be
one of the biggest yet.”
One driver particularly
looking forward to the
Orange Blossom Special is
third generation racer, Tate
Fogleman. His grandfather,
Kent, and father, current
PASS South points leader Jay
Fogleman, both started their
careers in racing at Orange
County Speedway. Living in
nearby Durham, NC, Tate
Fogleman has accumulated
more laps of testing and
racing Bandoleros and PASS
Pro Late Models at Orange
County than any other track
on the PASS South schedule.
However, this year’s Orange
Blossom Special will be the
13-year-old driver’s first
opportunity to race the much
faster PASS South Super Late
Models at his home track.
PASS Fan Appreciation will
give Tate the chance to
compete in front of a great
crowd of friends and family.
“We only live about 20
minutes away from Orange
County and we have a lot of
people coming to the race
since it’s so close,” said
Fogleman. “We’d like to be
able to finish in the top
three and, if we can, get my
first PASS South win.”
After a promising start
to the season which saw Tate
finish 7th at Florida’s
Auburndale Speedway in the
PASS National opener, the
Foglemans decided to forego
their plan of racing for the
PASS Pro Late Model
championship and tackle the
much tougher PASS South
circuit. Steady improvement
has seen Tate match his 7th
place finish in Florida with
another at Southern National
Motorsports Park in June.
The younger Fogleman
currently sits sixth in PASS
South points and, with his
experience at Orange County,
has him feeling like a win
could be just around the
corner.
“We’ve been
there a lot testing since
it’s so close and we’ve kind
of found a line that’s
pretty fast,” said the
driver of the #8 Speedco
Truck Lube & Tire Ford.
“Every time we go there we
seem to be pretty good and I
think we’re pretty
comfortable so far.”
Action gets under way on
Friday, October 18th at
Orange County Speedway with
rotating practice for the
PASS South Super Late
Models, PASS Pro Late
Models, and CCS Modifieds
from 3 PM – 6:00 PM. On
Saturday, October 19th,
practice for the Orange
Blossom Special rolls from 2
PM – 3:50 PM, qualifying
begins at 4:30 PM, followed
by main event racing at 6
PM.
Anticipation
continues to build for a
huge month of November which
kicks off with the
North-South Shootout at
Caraway Speedway on November
9th. Two weeks later on
November 23rd, the PASS
South and PASS National
Champions will be crowned at
Southern National
Motorsports Park as part of
the 8th Annual Mason Dixon
Meltdown, which will also
feature the Must See Xtreme
Racing Winged Sprint Cars.
The Pro All Stars Series
is recognized as North
America’s premier

Action Packed
Night Awaits PASS South
Racers In Return To Orange
County
CHARLOTTE, NC
(October 16) – Since the
first Pro All Stars Series
(PASS) South Super Late
Model took to the Orange
County Speedway, fans and
racers could tell that
something special was
happening. The PASS South
Super Late Models quickly
adapted to the high banked
3/8 mile track in Rougemont,
NC and have staged some of
the most memorable races
there in series history.
This weekend’s 8th Annual
Orange Blossom Special will
mark the 12th time the PASS
South Super Late Models have
raced at Orange County and
will put the track in some
rare company. Orange County,
along with Hickory Motor
Speedway, are the only two
tracks in the country to
host at least one PASS South
event every year since the
series started in 2006. So,
it is only fitting that the
Orange Blossom Special will
double as PASS Fan
Appreciation. This will be
an opportunity for fans to
see the top short track
stars in the country compete
for an admission fee of only
$20 per vehicle up to four
adults with any additional
adults only paying $5 per
person.
While much of
the focus will be on the
championship contenders as
PASS South points leader and
local favorite Jay Fogleman
seeks his first series win
at Orange County and as Kyle
Grissom looks to back up his
win there last year and
close the gap in the title
race, several drivers will
be looking to steal some of
that spotlight. One of those
drivers will be “Rockin’”
Rodney Brooks. The Maine
native, who now lives in
Salisbury, NC, recently took
over the Godfather
Motorsports entry co-owned
by MRN Radio’s Dave Moody
and Jim Gallison. Since
taking the reins of the #30
KOMA Unwind/Trinity Oaks
Senior Living Community Ford
at South Boston Speedway in
August, the team has rattled
off three straight top ten
finishes, highlighted by a
7th place finish at Hickory.
Running in the top five much
of the last event at Dillon
Motor Speedway has Brooks
excited for his chances in
the Orange Blossom Special.
“I’ve raced from Maine
to Florida to Tennessee, all
over the country, and Orange
County Speedway is my
favorite race track, I just
love that place,” said
Brooks. “We’ve got a really
good team with Godfather
Motorsports. Good guys, good
dedication, good car, good
motors…as long as everything
stays together and we stay
out of trouble, we’re going
to keep doing good and we’re
going to get a win here
pretty soon.”
A
driver who has already had
an opportunity to share in
the limelight and prove the
naysayers wrong is Hickory,
NC’s Tyler Church. The
hometown favorite shocked
the short track world by
passing his teammate and the
All-Time PASS South Wins
Leader, Preston Peltier,
late in the race to score
his first series win at
Hickory Motor Speedway in
the Over The Mountain 150.
Church further proved his
status as a contender the
next race out finishing
fifth at Dillon in the
Wildcat 150. Despite another
exceptionally strong field
expected this weekend at
Orange County, Church feels
like his Johnson Motorsports
team can once again
challenge for the victory.
“The track’s a lot of
fun and I’m excited to be
going back,” said Church.
“Preston [Peltier] taught me
a lot about where I needed
to run and having him to
lean on he taught me that
you can run up against the
outside wall or you can run
on the bottom, whatever
works best. So it’s good
either way.”
The
field of contenders
continues to grow daily for
this weekend’s Orange
Blossom Special with several
new names returning to the
series, including
Massachusetts’ driver and
PASS North regular Derek
Ramstrom and North Carolina
youngster John Hunter
Nemecheck. Georgia’s rookie
sensation Spencer Davis will
be making his second start
at Orange County Speedway
and will be joined by fellow
rookies Tate Fogleman,
Joseph Mursuli, Karl Weber,
Joe Ryan Osborne and Trevor
Noles. Veterans John Batten,
Brandon Ward, Randy Gentry,
and Jody Measamer will each
be seeking their first wins
of the season his weekend as
well.
Action gets
under way on Friday, October
18th at Orange County
Speedway with rotating
practice for the PASS South
Super Late Models, PASS Pro
Late Models, and CCS
Modifieds from 3 PM – 6:00
PM. On Saturday, October
19th, practice for the
Orange Blossom Special rolls
from 2 PM – 3:50 PM,
qualifying begins at 4:30
PM, followed by main event
racing at 6 PM.
