CHARLOTTE, NC (February 10) – With the start of a new Pro All Stars Season (PASS), season less than a month away, Sanford, NC’s Jody Measamer became the first Super Late Model driver to file an entry for the upcoming 10th Annual South Carolina Clash on March 7 at Dillon (SC) Motor Speedway. The tough 4/10 mile, egg-shaped speedway in South Carolina’s famed Pee Dee region presents a definite challenge to drivers hoping to get their seasons started off on the right foot. And, for Measamer, you might say he has a “love-hate” relationship when it comes to Dillon Motor Speedway. Of all the tracks on the 2015 PASS South Super Late Model schedule, Measamer has as much experience at Dillon as anyone. He raced Late Models and Supertrucks there on numerous occasions over the last decade before graduating to PASS South Super Late Models in 2012. But, in last year’s South Carolina Clash, Measamer experienced one of the worst crashes of his career barrel rolling down the front straightaway in a multi-car crash and destroying a brand new car. Despite that, Dillon Motor Speedway is still one of Measamer’s favorites and a place that he knows handling will be key for anyone looking to go to victory lane.
“Dillon is a tricky place because both ends of the track are totally different,” says Measamer of the track’s unique layout. “It is so important to get the car to rotate in the center of turns 3 and 4 and still have enough forward bite to get up off of turn 4. That’s the case at a lot of tracks, but to me, the banking transition and sharpness of the corners make it tough. The goal is to have the car good enough through the corners to have enough tires left at the end of the race to contend for the win.” (more…)
