CHARLOTTE, NC (September 22) – In order to become a championship contender, you first have to race well and hopefully win a race or two along the way. Well for the drivers in contention for the 2008 Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model championship that is true, with a few notable exceptions. In particular, the last two races. At both the Caraway (NC) Speedway and the Newport (TN) Speedway, the championship chasers have been eliminated due to a myriad of problems.

CHARLOTTE, NC (September 16 2008) – It doesn’t matter who they are or where they are from; race car drivers want to win at Hickory. Nestled in the foothills of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, the Hickory Motor Speedway has played a huge part in the history of stock car racing. It is fitting that on the inside wall of the speedway it reads, “Birthplace of the NASCAR Stars.” Names like Ralph Earnhardt, Junior Johnson, Ned Jarrett, Bobby Isaac, and Harry Gant have all raced and won at the Hickory Motor Speedway. And, very little has changed about the .363 mile oval since it first opened with a red clay surface in 1951. Today’s present configuration still resembles the one that Curtis Turner and the like slung clay on adoring fans. If you look at archival film of classic races at Hickory, nothing is different with the exception of an asphalt surface and the outside wall that encloses the speedway.
