(N. Woodstock, NH) – Derek Griffith is bringing a familiar part of the race team to the White Mountain Motorsports Park this weekend as the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) returns for their 150-lap event.
Griffith and team are changing over their older Lefthander Super Late Model that they captured the 2015 Granite State Pro Stock Series Championship with. Derek explains, “This race car was the car we used in 2015 when Granite State visited White Mountain, we won and I really like the way the car feels. We need to change a bunch of things but I know the No. 12 Mom’s of Manchester/LCM Racing Toyota Camry will be good enough to get to the front.”

CHARLOTTE, NC (September 20) – In late 2005, the ranks of Super Late Model racing in the Carolinas was shrinking. The few tracks that featured the division were eliminating them and there was not a series for teams to follow. That winter, Pro All Stars Series (PASS) President Tom Mayberry decided to take a big risk in expanding his sanctioning body that was finding success in New England. When the inaugural PASS South Super Late Model season was announced in 2006, there were many naysayers that did not think a series would be viable. But, when 33 cars showed up at Hickory Motor Speedway for the first Easter Bunny 150 that spring, the naysayers were quieted and a new series was born. Now, over 10 years later, PASS South continues as the oldest and most successful Super Late Model sanction in the region, with hundreds of drivers having raced in the division throughout its history. But, PASS South would not be where it is today without the fans. So it is only fitting that this weekend PASS honors its fans with PASS Fan Appreciation at the track where it all began. For just $15 adult admission, fans will get to see a full field of PASS South Super Late Models compete for 150 laps, plus they will see the Mid-Atlantic Limited Late Models race for $1500 to win and the Southern Outlaw Street Stocks compete for $1000 to win.

Scarborough, Maine — Travis Benjamin was smiling on the podium following his triumph in the Southern Maine Chrysler Dodge Jeep 150 Pro All Stars Series Super Late Model race at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough Saturday.
Benjamin, of Morrill, could not even force a smile the last time he was a top-three finisher driving the Huot’s Restaurant / 99 Restaurants Petit Motorsports 7, after finishing behind Wayne Helliwell after leading the most laps in last month’s HP Hood Oxford 250 at Oxford Plains Speedway.

NAPLES, ME (September 16) – With a dismal forecast calling for rain on Sunday, Pro All Stars Series (PASS) officials and Beech Ridge Motor Speedway management made the decision earlier this week to reformat the New England 500 weekend into a condensed “Super Saturday” of action. The PASS North Super Late Models and ACT Late Models will each now race for 150 laps, along with Twin 50s for the Valenti Modified Series, and action for the PASS Modifieds and Sport Series all part of this “Super Saturday” of racing.
Hometown favorite Garrett Hall has seen a fair bit of success at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in the past and has years of experience there. And while he has been able to go to victory lane in PASS this year for the first time in his career, it is the race that got away that has him keenly focused for this weekend.
“My team and I are looking forward to “Super Saturday,” not only to be a three time winner in the PASS tour, but to redeem ourselves after running second and competing for the lead in the Oxford 250,” says Hall, who eventually finished seventh in the 250.

DILLO, SC (September 5) – Walnut Cove, NC’s Jason Myers used the correct pit strategy to edge out his older brother, Burt, and New York driver Andy Jankoiak to claim his first career Southern Modified Racing Series (SMRS) Presented By PASS win Monday afternoon at Dillon Motor Speedway.
“I knew how good our car was for about 60 laps, so when the caution fell when it did, I knew we needed to pit then,” said J. Myers, driver of the Adams Towing & Recovery #4. “I started worrying though when the last caution flew so much later and everybody was able to get that much more fresher tires than we did. My dad was on that radio making those pit calls is what put us back up front. We had a heck of a race car to set on the pole, lead as many laps as we did, and come home with the win.”
For the first time this year, J. Myers was able to capture the Precision Built Spindles Pole Award with a lap of 15.659 seconds (96.959 MPH) around the egg-shaped, 4/10 mile speedway. But, after the top six qualifiers redraw, Scott Hall and Cale Gale would move to the front row, while J. Myers, would join his brother, Burt, on row three.
