CHARLOTTE, NC (January 6) – Since the inception of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) South Super Late Model division in 2006 the series has seen a varied group of drivers claim the championship. In 2006, PASS North veteran Mike Rowe made the long trek down from Maine to compete in every race that season, winning two races to become the first ever PASS South champion. Last year, Texas native Ryan Lawler used experiences gained from his championship battle with Rowe the previous year to win two races and bring the championship back to the South. Coming into 2008, most racing minds agreed that the 2008 championship could very well go to Corey Williams. After all, he was coming off a season that saw him win three PASS South races in just seven starts. And, at the 2008 PASS South season opener at Hickory Motor Speedway, Williams dominated the second half of the Easter Bunny 150 to take his fourth career win. It looked to be a long season for anybody else hoping to win the title in 2008, but along the way, somebody forgot to tell Alex Haase.
