CHARLOTTE, NC (May 29) – For the first time this season, the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) Pro Late Models will be the featured division as they headline the First Citizens 200 Saturday night at Dillon Motor Speedway. The 4/10 mile, egg-shaped layout of the Dillon Motor Speedway is a tough challenge to even the most experienced racer and the competition is certainly aware of that factor heading into this weekend. In less than two years though, the PASS Pro Late Models has proven to be one of the country’s top divisions for racers looking to make the step up into a touring division. Already this year, drivers like Tate Fogleman, Cole Timm, Jody Measamer, and Karl Weber have shown glimpses of their potential in the PASS South Super Late Model division thanks in large part to their time racing with the PASS Pro Late Models.
Harrison Burton and Trevor Noles have both found success this season in the PASS Pro Late Models, finishing first and second respectively at Dillon back in March. Since then, Noles has gone on to record three PASS Pro Late Model wins and has become one of the hottest commodities in short track racing. Additionally, Noles made his PASS South Super Late Model debut in the Coulter Motorsports #2 at Southern National Raceway Park where he finished ninth and followed that up by leading laps at South Boston Speedway and finishing 12th. Noles says he is looking forward to showcasing his talent further this weekend at Dillon as the PASS Pro Late Models step into the spotlight.

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Just how long are 320,000 hot dogs lined up end to end? Well, it’s enough to wrap around New Hampshire Motor Speedway’s 1.058-mile oval 25 times. That sure is a lot of protein. Now it’s up to New Hampshire Food Bank to distribute it, as it received on Wednesday 40,000 pounds of hot dogs on behalf of Speedway Children’s Charities New Hampshire Chapter and partner Smithfield.
The donation is part of Smithfield’s Helping Hungry Homes tour, the company’s coast-to-coast effort to help families and individuals become more food secure. Through this program, Smithfield, along with charities like SCC, has donated and delivered more than 25.4 million servings of protein to food-assistance organizations across the country.
