Sunoco Returns as the Official Fuel
of the Pro All Stars Series |
|
Naples
ME
(March 26) Change is constant in motorsports.
Its one of the few things every racer and race fan can count
on. It’s unusual to see long term relationships in the sport, but
for the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) , there’s been one fuel in every
racer’s fuel cell since it’s’ inception.
Sunoco Race
Fuels and their distributor New England Racing Fuel have been on
board since that first PASS Super Late Model race at Lee USA
Speedway in 2001. Their Sunoco Standard and Supreme products are
back as the official fuel of PASS for a ninth season. |
|
“John Holland,
Charlie Holland and Mike Joy of New England Racing Fuel were one of
the first to step up to the plate and support our series,” said
series President Tom Mayberry” They taught us how to control the
cost of race fuel by testing fuel samples at our events, and they
have assisted us in every way possible throughout our relationship.
They’re good friends of PASS, as well as
motorsports in general. We are proud to represent Sunoco once
again in 2009.” Visit New England Racing Fuel on line at

Gale Force Suspension
Joins PASS South
Contingency Program |
CHARLOTTE, NC (May
7) – Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials recently welcomed Gale
Force Suspension as the newest contingency sponsor of the PASS South
Super Late Models. Gale Force Suspension will present a $75 product
certificate to the winner at each PASS South event on the 2009
schedule.
“Everyone at PASS is glad to have Gale Force Suspension on board as
a sponsor for the PASS South Series this year,” said PASS President
Tom Mayberry. “PASS South is the top Super Late Model touring
division in the Southeast and our relationship with Gale Force
Suspension will only further both our reputations in the short track
racing world.
Gale Force Suspension was founded by legendary short track racer
Bubba Gale and his son Cale. For years, Bubba and Gale utilized
their Coilover Load Pro to win races across the Southeast and have
just recently decided to market the product to their fellow short
track racers. The Coilover Load Pro by Gale Force Suspension is the
new tool that is revolutionizing coilover racing. The machine is a
powerful set-up too that can save you time and give you insight that
hasn’t been possible until now. The tool works like a mini pull down
rig. It gives you a load number measured at the shock and spring. It
also allows you to rate your spring just as if they where on the car
with head pressure on the in the shock. With bump rubbers and coil
binding becoming commonplace in today’s racing environment, the tool
proves to be invaluable. It allows you the opportunity to test bump
loads and coil bind pressures. The tool comes with powerful graphing
software, which allows you to graph all your numbers for further
research and development.
Gale Force customers include Preston Peltier who won the Orange
Blossom Special at Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, North
Carolina with the PASS South Series. Other customers include David
Stremme and Kyle Busch in their Super Late Model cars as well as top
Super Late Model drivers Ben Rowe, Jeff Fultz, Michael Pope, Jeremy
Colangelo and Johanna Long.
The Pro All Stars visit Wake County Speedway in Raleigh North
Carolina this Friday night for the Capitol City Clash. The PASS Late
Model Trucks join the Super Late Models on Friday’s racing card.

focus on other aspects of the business, especially the growing race
fuel business.

Hutch-BSR Recognizes
PASS Hard Chargers |
NAPLES ME (March
12) The Pro All Stars Series (PASS) is pleased to welcome back one
of the nation’s foremost racing parts suppliers for another season
as a PASS awards sponsor.
BSR Products has acquired another motorsports legend, Hutcherson-Pagan
Enterprises, and the new racing enterprise is now known as Hutch-BSR.
The acquisition of Hutcherson-Pagan has broadened the scope of
services the company has to offer, from Port City chassis and
chassis repairs to a recently acquired “pull-down” rig that short
track racers can reserve time on.
The Hutch-BSR /PASS Hard Charger award will be presented to the
driver who most improves their starting position in each 2009 PASS
Super Late Model North and South event. The award winner will
receive a $100.00 product certificate redeemable at the short track
superstore. Plus, 2009 North and South points eligible super late
model teams will have a $250.00 Hutch-BSR product certificate in
their random draw.
In 2009 Hutch-BSR has added a short track trailer to their fleet of
rolling parts stores, and the company plans to be on hand at every
PASS South points race this season. The dedicated short track
trailer will be loaded with all of the parts and pieces that PASS
super late model and late model truck racers need, and will be
staffed by a short track racing specialist.
“I want to thank Hutch-BSR for renewing their program with the Pro
All Stars,” said PASS President Tom Mayberry.” Nobody likes to start
at the back, but it’s a part of racing; sometimes it’s tougher to
crack the top ten from the 28th spot than it is to win the race. The
quality of competition in both the PASS North and South Super Late
Model divisions is that tough. We appreciate the fact that Hutch-
BSR recognizes this and will reward our competitors for their
efforts.”
Hutch-BSR stocks a comprehensive inventory of racing components and
supplies for almost every form of motorsports. The company pioneered
trackside service in the 1980’s and today Hutch- BSR crisscrosses
the country every racing season to provide the best in products and
customer service to racers everywhere. Headquartered at 4030 Concord
Parkway South in Concord North Carolina (1-800-432-2798), Hutch-BSR
also operates a satellite location in Mooresville's Lakeside
Industrial Park. Contact a Hutch-BSR parts specialist for all your
short track racing needs.

easily be able to tell the taste difference we’re talking about and
what better place to introduce that taste difference than the PASS
South series,” stated Wes Wyatt, chairman and CEO of the
