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 www.newenglandracingfuel.com or dial 1-860-673-9555.

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. Entry lists and the race schedule may be found at racewithpass.com .

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 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.
